The 18th-century two-bedroom property is on the side of a slope, so although it perches above the village library when viewed from the High Street, the stable door to the property is in fact found at floor level in the churchyard behind.

Pass through the lychgate and past ancient tombstones to climb a couple of pretty stone steps straight into the neat and tidy double-aspect kitchen, from where the stairs lead up to the bedrooms.

The beamed lounge is 15ft 4ins by 14ft 6ins and is double aspect. The lounge has a working fireplace with woodburner.

The bedrooms are both good-sized doubles and have vaulted beamed ceilings. Each bedroom is double aspect, with a dormer window with pitched roof to either side. A bird’s eye view here peeps directly down into the village below and the river, far below, beyond.

There is a downstairs bathroom and storage cupboard.

The property, which has a cosy feel, has been well cared for and is well maintained and clean and tidy throughout.

As all principal rooms of the charming property are double aspect, all rooms have lots of natural light.

The property is sold as a leasehold property, and it is understood that the freehold is held by Kent County Council. Occupants currently contribute around £40 a year towards building insurance.

Yalding is six miles south-west of Maidstone at a point where the Rivers Teise and Beult join the River Medway.
