Available to the market for the first time in 39 years this beautiful unlisted character property enjoys a peaceful setting with far-reaching countryside views, while being just moments from the sought-after village of Goudhurst.
Approached via Gore Lane, the home is welcomed by a generous shingled driveway offering ample off-road parking, along with an oak-framed double open fronted garage and a versatile detached outbuilding.
