With a £210,000 price tag and a modest council tax band of B, the numbers for this perfect two-bedroom village home certainly add up.

The cottage, at Lower Road, Staple, is on the market with Charles Bainbridge.

There’ll be plenty of “oohs” and “aahs” when you see the bright and characterful rooms with far reaching countryside views.

Very long, very narrow, cottage gardens are at the front and back, giving plenty of space for some inspired landscape design.

The front garden is 79ft x 19ft lawn, mature shrubs, small trees and an ornamental pond. The back garden is 90ft x 18ft, with patio, lawn, beds and timber shed and there is a detached single garage.

On the ground floor is a sitting room with open fire and the large kitchen/dining room is at the back of the house. There is a further lobby which leads to additional storage room, a downstairs cloakroom and a back porch.

On the first floor, bedroom one has fitted wardrobes and lovely views.

The bathroom is at the back of the house as is the second bedroom which also has some fitted storage and far reaching views. Nearby villages are Wingham and Ash.
