DESCRIPTION
Audley House is a handsome, detached, period property which is well situated being just moments from Folkestone West and a short walk from some excellent schools. The property offers beautifully presented accommodation which is of particularly comfortable proportions and exudes charm and character throughout.
The accommodation comprises a wide and welcoming entrance hall leading to two generous reception rooms, the sitting room with a cosy woodburning stove, the dining room opening onto the garden to the rear. The kitchen/breakfast room has been recently refitted with a smart contemporary kitchen, the breakfast area set beneath a double glazed roof and with a full wall of glazing with doors opening to and uniting the space with the garden. There is also a laundry room and a cloakroom. The first floor comprises four bedrooms, three doubles and a single and a family bathroom.
The generous front garden offers parking for a number of vehicles and access to the attached garage. The rear garden offers a surprisingly tranquil environment in which to relax and dine alfresco on the recently laid terrace at the rear of the house or on the wide expanse of lawn. There is also a vegetable garden, green house, shed and two workshops/studios.
For room sizes please refer to the floorplan.
