Apple Tree Cottage is located on the edge of the pretty village of Horsmonden on a plot approaching half an acre. This property offers the perfect balance of comfort and character, combined with thoughtful practicality—ideal for family living, entertaining, inside or out. Exposed beams run throughout the home, some of which have been carefully enhanced to retain their character while ensuring the rooms feel bright and airy.

The front porch opens into a characterful and spacious sitting room, with a formal dining room adjacent. Both rooms offer direct access to the kitchen/breakfast room, which features a bright breakfast area beside patio doors leading out to the garden. There is also a second entrance into the kitchen via a small open porch at the side of the cottage, currently used by the owners as a practical mudroom. The kitchen has been designed to maximise space and natural light, with white base units and quartz countertops. Off the kitchen is a useful cloakroom with utility area, and tucked at the back of the house is a study/family room with a rear garden aspect and a cosy wood burner.

Also from the kitchen, stairs lead up to the first floor where two double bedrooms can be found, as well as the principal bedroom with en suite and dressing room, and a spacious and modern family bathroom. A further staircase leads to the top floor, where a bathroom and a fourth double bedroom create an ideal guest suite or flexible additional family accommodation.

Outside the Cottage benefits from a good sized South-Easterly facing rear garden, a tandem garage with separate studio/office space. There are several patio areas for alfresco dining, a shed and chicken coup are at the far end where the current owners have also installed power opening possibilities for future outbuildings or garden projects (subject to any necessary consents).
