Set within a generous plot and enjoying a delightful semi-rural position, this charming end-of-terrace period home offers beautifully presented accommodation, substantial frontage with ample parking, and an exceptional rear garden extending far beyond expectation. With high ceilings, character features and significant potential to extend (subject to the necessary planning permissions and consents), this is a rare opportunity to acquire a home of both immediate comfort and long-term promise.

The Situation

Cornwallis Cottages occupy a highly regarded stretch of Heath Road, perfectly positioned to enjoy the best of both worlds - peaceful countryside surroundings with excellent access to Maidstone and beyond. Open fields, woodland walks and picturesque country footpaths are quite literally on your doorstep, providing an enviable lifestyle setting for families and dog walkers alike.

Despite its tranquil feel, the property remains conveniently placed for the County Town of Maidstone, offering a comprehensive range of shopping, leisure and schooling facilities, together with mainline railway stations providing regular services to London. The nearby villages and surrounding countryside further enhance the appeal, creating a location that combines accessibility with rural charm.

The Accommodation

The property is approached via a substantial gravel driveway providing extensive off-road parking, with lawns sweeping up to the front of the house, creating an attractive and impressive frontage.

The front door opens into a welcoming entrance hallway with stairs rising to the first floor and a useful understairs storage cupboard. To one side is a generous dining room (it is being used as a generous bedroom and playroom) ideal for formal entertaining or family gatherings. To the other, the principal reception room is a beautifully proportioned lounge featuring a fireplace with log burner, high ceilings and a wealth of natural light - a warm and inviting space throughout the seasons.

To the rear of the property lies a superb kitchen/breakfast room, thoughtfully arranged with ample storage and work surfaces, creating a highly practical family hub. Sliding glass doors open directly onto the rear terrace and garden beyond, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living and making this an excellent space for entertaining.

Upstairs, the landing gives access to three well-proportioned bedrooms, each benefitting from built-in wardrobes or storage cupboards. The family bathroom is fitted with a freestanding bath, complementing the home's character and period charm. There is loft access and the loft has been fully boarded for maximum storage.

Gardens & Grounds

A particular feature of the property is the remarkable rear garden - extensive in size and offering huge potential for landscaping, recreation or future enlargement of the property (subject to planning permission). The scale of the plot provides a rare sense of space and privacy, perfectly suited to growing families.

To the front, the generous gravel driveway offers parking for multiple vehicles, framed by established lawns that enhance the property's kerb appeal.
