5 WoodcocksWhen the present owners bought 5 Woodcocks they were looking for a roomy family house, in a good location for work and school. They made the perfect choice, and for the past 8 years have enjoyed the life the house provides.

As you enter the hallway, you are immediately impressed by the sense of space and the bright positive ambience. The generous family area combines kitchen, informal dining space and room to easily accommodate guests, who can settle in comfy chairs and keep the cook company. The owners love to entertain, and friends have gathered round the table for many chatty, kitchen suppers. The wall of windows floods the room with light, even on the greyest of days, and the garden is a delightful green back drop. It is a charming and inviting social area, the hub of the home and much enjoyed by family and friends.

The lounge is an evening retreat for watching TV, but its elegance makes it special, and the chic dining room is ideal for more formal entertaining. There is room for everyone to have their own space, and the study can be for quiet time or strenuous exercise on the multi purpose gym. One of the bedrooms is currently a ‘chill out,’ room, where you can unwind after a stressful day at work.

The large, private garden has a lawned area, with ample space for a game of garden football, and the patio that runs the length of the house is an attractive setting for al fresco dining and a quiet evening glass of wine.

The location is ideal, as Headcorn is a pretty, friendly village in the Low Weald of Kent. It has many clubs and activities centred on the village hall and it is a short stroll to the village shops. The station is a short walk from the house, enabling the commuter to avoid stressful daily traffic. There are excellent rail and road links to London, the south coast and Eurostar. There is a good primary school in the village, with a choice of secondary schools in nearby towns. 5 Woodcocks offers a rural life style with the benefits of town life close at hand. The present owners will greatly miss both the house and its location, which has beautifully answered the needs of the whole family.*
