A charming and beautifully maintained 2-bed, 1-bathroom Edwardian semi-detached home, tucked just off the High Street in the community-oriented town of Rusthall. Advantages include a sizable, southerly facing rear garden, off-road parking and potential to extend STPP.
For the first time in 24 years, this charming and beautifully maintained 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom Edwardian semi-detached home, tucked just off the High Street in the historic, community-oriented town of Rusthall, is now on the market. The property currently features an impressive ground floor layout, including a separate kitchen, dining room, living room, and a rear conservatory. Upstairs, there are two spacious double bedrooms, each with built-in storage, along with a large family bathroom. A sizable, southerly facing rear garden offers leafy views and includes a charming outbuilding. Most unique to a property of this style in this area is the off-road parking via a private and generous driveway. Beyond the current 2-bedroom layout, this property holds tremendous potential, subject to the usual planning consents. The current owners have had architectural designs drawn up for a 2-story rear extension, though loft conversion possibilities have yet to be explored. A rare opportunity to acquire a delightful family home brimming with potential, complemented by the invaluable addition of driveway parking in such a highly desirable Rusthall location. We highly recommend arranging a viewing to fully appreciate what this exceptional property has to offer.
