Peckwater House Peckwater House is a handsome property typical of the Georgian era with red brick elevations and large sash windows under a clay tile roof behind a parapet. The property is accessed from the street via steps rising to the front wood panelled door, which opens into the main reception hall. Off the hall is the generous sized drawing room with two sash windows, cornice, ceiling rose and a wood-burning stove. The kitchen is set to the rear of the property and has a limestone floor, fitted painted cabinets with beech work surfaces and a fireplace inset with a Britannia range cooker. The kitchen runs into the breakfast room, which has french windows opening onto the garden, with a further fireplace and steps lead down into the family room. The family room is part panelled with a door opening into a small hall with a door to the outside. Off the main hall a door opens into the cellar and utility room. An elegant staircase rises to the first floor and three bedrooms. The master bedroom has a sash window and a dressing room with a range of fitted wardrobes. Bedroom 2 is double aspect with sash windows and an elegant fireplace with a marble surround (currently used as an office) and interconnects with bedroom 3. The family bathroom has a roll top bath, wash basin, WC and a large walk-in shower. The second floor has a further two bedrooms, both with dormer windows. The second bathroom completes the accommodation on the second floor. Situation Charing is popular for its traditional village facilities with a good range of shops including a renowned mini-market, butchers and post office. There is a library, ancient church, doctors surgery and a selection of inns and restaurants. Charing Station has services to London taking from 77 minutes. Road and rail communications in the area are excellent with the access along the A20 to Ashford (6 miles) and Maidstone (13 miles). Ashford International station has the High Speed Link into London St Pancras taking about 37 minutes, and services to the Continent. The Channel Tunnel terminal at Folkestone (21 miles) and the M20 can be joined at Junction 9 (8 miles). Outside The property is approached from the street in Charing over a private drive to the south of the house (two other properties have right-of-way over the first part of the drive). This leads to a gravel parking area and access to a double open-bay car port of timber construction. A white post and rail fence marks the boundary of the gardens, which are a particularly good size for a village house. There are mature trees including silver birch, a rose arbour, well tended lawns and an area of kitchen garden with raised planters. Nearby is a timber stable building, currently used for storage. The gardens are, in the main, surrounded by an old English garden wall. To the rear of the house is a paved terrace with steps down to the large hot tub with a swimming jet.
