Staplehurst, Kent

Built in 1907 as part of the Lord Cornwallis Estate at Linton, the property and its adjoining other half were originally built for the chauffer and the maids accordingly.  Of special interest are the solar panels (5k) which are paid for and a storage battery of (10k) making this a cheap to run property.  Further features include gas-fired central heating and replacement windows.  The garden is interestingly laid out in sections leading to the rear with rear access and garage area.  The property is well-presented and we would recommend an internal inspection.

The property is set on the outskirts of the popular Wealden village of Staplehurst with its range of local amenities including post office, Sainsburys supermarket, primary school and mainline station providing commuter services to London Charing Cross, Waterloo, London Bridge and Cannon Street (approximately 55 minutes).  The County town of Maidstone is approximately 9 miles away providing a wider range of both shopping and leisure facilities.  The property falls within the Cranbrook School catchment area.
