Market Place, Charing, TN27

“Cordwainers” is a house brimming with character and history. As the name suggests, it was the original site of the leather maker’s premises in the village, and although it probably has earlier origins, the existing house is thought to date from the 19th Century. Recently renovated to a high specification throughout, this beautiful unlisted home now offers stylishly presented, flexible accommodation that would suit any number of different purchasers, including those looking for dual occupancy or the perfect “lock up and leave” property.

The house itself is laid out in a U shape, made up of three wings, all of which face onto a protected east facing central courtyard, which itself also has glorious views across the meadow beyond. The south wing, which can be accessed from the main part of the house, but also has its own entrance and separate facilities, could be used as a stand-alone annexe, guest wing, holiday let or similar if desired, subject to any necessary permissions. A balcony, accessed from this part of the house, offers far reaching views of the North Downs and makes the perfect place for a G and T as the sun goes down.

Literally a few steps from the market square, the house sits at the end of its own leafy drive, where it enjoys privacy and seclusion, making it the ideal home for a buyer wishing to be in a central village location, close to all the local amenities, but still wanting peace and quiet.
