Wrotham is steeped in history going back many centuries and there are a number of historic houses here. One such house, found in a pretty location within the heart of the village, is Normey Cottage. This grade II listed home holds much character and history of its own, dating back we understand to the 17th century.
Whether to be your retirement country residence or a family home there is space to enjoy and grow into.
As you approach the home via its stunning country cottage garden you would be forgiven for thinking that you are in a rural setting when in fact, the village high street is only a few hundred yards up the road. Borough Green train station and High Street is only a mile away so for commuting every day, taking the children to school or just doing your day to day shopping you could not be in a more convenient spot.
The current owners have transformed this property into the wonderful home it is today. Blending modern features whilst keeping the character of an old house is an art to do well but as you look around and take in the charm and features here you cannot help be impressed with the level of quality and attention to detail that has been created.
The home not only has beauty but is functional too. A large entrance hallway greets your arrival with independent doors leading to all of the major rooms. The sitting room has a wealth of beams and a stunning inglenook style fireplace that is a stunning focal point of the room. Being dual aspect there is plenty of natural light that floods in making it a bright and airy room. The formal dining room is large enough for a sizeable dining suite and if the weather is warm, the French doors open onto the sheltered patio area, a fine place to enjoy a cup of tea and start the day. For those that enjoy their cooking the kitchen will be attractive. There is plenty of storage and workspace, even more so by having the adjoining utility room. A large skylight provides plenty of natural light and is remotely operated allowing airflow in the warmer months. It even has a moisture sensor that allows it to close automatically if it rains. To add to the character no home would be complete without a country cottage table in the centre of the kitchen which easily fits here. Lastly on the ground floor is the downstairs W.C. Found conveniently adjacent to the utility room so no-one need walk through the home with muddy boots on!
Upstairs the character and function continue with 3 excellent sized bedrooms, one of which has an en-suite, and a sumptuous bathroom that holds a shower cubicle and claw foot bath.
Outside the garden is exactly what you would expect from a 'chocolate box' cottage. There is the patio for dining al-fresco, large lawn area to play on and a complete wealth of flowers and shrubs with a well-stocked pond. Proceed past the summerhouse and through the decorative arch and you enter into a beautifully manicured allotment area that is ready and waiting for you to start growing your own produce. The detached double garage has its own remote operated doors with plenty of parking for multiple cars in front.
So if seeking something special in an idyllic location this stunning home should be featuring high on your viewing list.
