This charming former Post Office partly dates back to Tudor times and offers well presented and spacious accommodation of three bedrooms, kitchen/ dining room, two bathrooms, garden with summer house and off road parking located in the popular Kent village of East Peckham.
A charming semi-detached house with exposed wood beams and columns in the entrance hall / study area. The greater part of the property is from the Georgian period and there is even a Victorian addition, the garden room. Before becoming a family home the building served as the village post office and if one looks carefully you'll even find the post box set in the external wall.
Well presented and spacious, the accommodation downstairs consists of the aforementioned entrance hall/study, reception, kitchen/dining room, downstairs cloakroom, utility room and garden room. Upstairs there are three bedrooms with high ceilings, one with an en-suite and a family bathroom.
Passing through the garden room, which would make an ideal study, you exit into the garden which is a lovely secure private space with lawn and mature shrubs. Outside to the front is off road parking for a number of cars.
Surrounded by the glorious Kent countryside, East Peckham is a village situated about 5 miles east of Tonbridge and spread out over quite a large geographical area. It was the centre for the hop growing industry in the county and is still home to the 'Hop Farm' which has the world's largest collection of oast houses. East Peckham parish council has a community centre, sports hall and playing fields, which include children's play area. Local facilities include a Co-Op supermarket and other shops, restaurants, primary school, churches, library and a post office. The historic 'Man of Kent' in Little Mill, which is a delightful Grade II listed traditional coaching inn dating back to 1588, is a 10 minute walk away. The picturesque River Medway towpath walk with its beautiful countryside, river locks and weirs, is within a 15 minute walk.
For commuters, while there are smaller, more local stations, Paddock Wood and Tonbridge offer easy access to London and if you feel like an evening out then head for the popular vibrant towns of Tonbridge, Sevenoaks, Tunbridge Wells or West Malling. An important note is that some of the best secondary schools in the county are to be found in Tonbridge and Tunbridge Wells.
