Detached house for sale in Sole Street, Cobham, Kent DA12

It’s rare you’ll come across a property as characterful as this, in a location that is semi-rural, yet so well connected to London, excellent road links, and reputable schools.

Bower Cottage is a grade II listed property on Sole Street, which has been extended and refurbished to exacting standards by its existing owners. It offers its lucky new custodians a move with no work required!

The cottage offers versatile accommodation, large enough to accommodate families, or a dream opportunity for someone perhaps looking to escape London, for their dream cottage in the country.

Occupying a generous plot, the property offers a driveway for one vehicle to the rear, and a large garage with electricity and water supplies, big enough to
accommodate another car. Resident and visitor permit parking is also available on the adjoining Manor Road.

Downstairs, the property offers a spacious entrance porch, which provides access to a newly converted cellar. Accessible via a hatch, this space is currently used as a gym by the existing owners.

To the right of the entrance hall is a study, with potential to be used as bedroom four, often used by the existing owners as a guest bedroom.

The entrance porch leads through to a sitting room, steeped with character including a stunning Inglenook fireplace and original bread oven. To the right of the Inglenook is the staircase to the first floor.

To the Southerly side of the cottage, there is a formal dining room with another feature fireplace, which leads through to a separate, country-style kitchen,
well appointed and again, modernised by the existing owners. This offers direct access to the garden.

A stylish downstairs bathroom and a separate shower room, complete the accommodation on this floor.
Upstairs, the home offers three incredibly spacious double bedrooms. The master bedroom features a newly installed ensuite bathroom, with separate bath, walk-in
shower, WC, wash-hand basin and under-floor heating. It also features built-in wardrobes, with the former eaves storage cleverly adapted for these. There is
another large storage cupboard, too, which also provides access to the loft via a hatch.

Bedrooms two and three have vaulted ceilings with bedroom 3 also offering offer double-aspect and thus both have lots of natural light. There are again, original
feature fireplaces in bedrooms one and two.

Further benefits to the home include gas central heating, mains drainage, modernised windows throughout, and a planning approval for an additional guest bedroom and shower room, to the ground floor. Enquire further for more details/drawings.

Externally, the property features a “wrap-around” garden, which is largely, laid-to lawn. The front garden is immaculately presented, with a stunning array of flowers, shrubs, lavender, and a hedgerow which shields the property from the road.

The garden is of a Westerly orientation for the most part, and so benefits from lots of sunlight, throughout the day.

Sole Street is a sought after location, given its mainline station, which offers direct services to London, and the Kent Coastline. For a high-speed link, both Gravesend and Ebbsfleet International Stations are less than 15 minutes by car.

The village is served by “The Little Shop” which is located almost opposite the property, perfect for your daily conveniences. There is also a popular pub on Sole Street, with more available in Cobham itself.

For a wider selection of amenities, Camer Parade in Meopham is just four minutes by car, with this offering a Tesco Express, a popular breakfast/brunch café, and a
number of restaurant/takeaway eateries.

You’d be spoilt for choices with schools, with Cobham and Meopham Primary both within catchment. Links to grammar schools in Gravesend, including Mayfield
(Girls) and Gravesend Grammar (boys) are also fantastic. Private schools at Cobham Hall and Gads Hill are also nearby.
