Charming and most attractive grade II listed detached house set within delightful gardens, located within the cranbrook school catchment area and easy reach of cranbrook.
Weavers is a Grade II listed country house that dates from the 17th century and was originally two weavers cottages, latterly extended and most recently updated to create a most delightful family home full of charm and character that you would expect for a property of this era. A wealth of period architectural features are on display including fine oak beams, timbers and latch doors.
The property offers good ceiling heights throughout, windows at every turn with much of the accommodation having dual aspect allowing light to flood the space and almost 2,600sqft of accommodation set across three floors. To the ground floor is a spacious entrance hall, recently fitted bespoke kitchen and adjacent utility room and large walk-in airing cupboard/boiler room, dining room, sitting room, study/drawing room, family snug and cloakroom. On the first floor are three double bedrooms - one with en suite shower room and dressing area - and a family bathroom, with a further bedroom, currently used as a home office, on the second floor, together with access to the original weavers loft space.
Outside, the gardens are a particular feature of this property. They have been lovingly tendered by the current custodian, with much thought having been given to plant placement, replanting of the fruit orchard and installation of a pond to encourage wildlife into the garden. The property is enclosed by mature trees and hedging, and is flanked by open countryside to the rear. The grounds and gardens amount to circa 0.8 acres in all.
Weavers is accompanied by a timber framed English Heritage double garage, with one open bay and one enclosed bay and log store. It could, subject to any necessary planning consent(s), offer further accommodation or external home office space. There is also a substantial driveway providing parking for several cars approached via a set of electric gates. A separate pathway leads to the original Weavers front door, edged by white picket fencing and garden.
