This is one of those homes that makes our heart jump for joy. Why, because it has the feel of that quintessential country cottage that we always love. It's a home that has been showered with love by the current owner who has improved it in such thoughtful and delightful ways.
There's more to Pluckley than people know. From village centre to Pluckley Thorne and thence to Pluckley Station. Distinct yet connected, each is unique and special.
Like Pluckley this cottage, tucked close to the station, is a surprise. It is somewhere a craftsman's hand, thoughtful mind and a generous measure of inspiration have created an especially wonderful home that is quirky, engaging and full of soul.
This is a place that connects you with the seasons and envelops you with a vernacular charm that is heartwarming.
Step from here onto footpaths that wind through beautiful Kentish Countryside. Enjoy a meal in the renowned Dering Arms, a former hunting lodge, or wander footpaths to the village centre and visit The Black Horse.
As you're by the station you can just hop on a train and... well, the world is your oyster as to where you can let that lead you, be it on a daily commute or a myriad of adventures.
Pluckley itself is known for its folklore and charm, it is a vibrant, welcoming community. There’s a butcher, a farm shop, and a primary school that sits at the heart of village life. The village green hosts seasonal events, and the surrounding countryside offers endless opportunities for walking, cycling, and quiet contemplation.
At the end of it all you return to a charming cottage decorated with Dering Windows. It has been extended to create delightful accommodation, the bathroom moved upstairs and a second double bedroom added as part of the extension. In the main bedroom, with 16' (4.88m) ridge height, you have an amazing feeling and super feature of a wonderful mezzanine. Exploring the cottage you'll discover subtle elements that stand out and add to the ambience of life here.
The hand crafted kitchen with Carrara Marble worktop catches the eye instantly.
Fifteen happy years have been spent here enjoying where this home is and very much what it is.
Summers in the courtyard garden, winter nights in front of a log fire; this is a home that invites you to slow down, to savour, and to live with intention.
It is a home that makes life special.
