#TheGardenOfEngland
A very pretty 5-bedroom house with a delightful flint barn surrounded by imaginative gardens and situated in the village Conservation Area next to the green.
In all about 0.62 acres
A most attractive, light, and spacious period house orientated East to West and very well appointed with plenty of privacy.
The house enjoys a well-documented potted history with deeds dating back to circa 1680 but thought to have earlier origins and since added to including a Georgian facing.
Listed Grade II, the house enjoys a wealth of character but with good ceiling heights and spacious dimensions including 5 double bedrooms, two bathrooms and 4 reception rooms.
A reassuring amount of improvement and maintenance work has been carried out during the present ownership including a recent replacement of the boiler and oil storage tank.
Further scope and potential remain, especially in the delightful flint barn in the garden which could be converted to a separate cottage subject to planning consent.
The house is surrounded by lovely gardens formed in a series of rooms including front, side, rear, and an old orchard. There are lawns, brick paths and terraces, mature shrubberies, hedging and well stocked borders including a bed of Delphiniums and another of Roses. A well-designed garden room with veranda is a point of interest and the old flint barn is used as a garage, car port and mower store.
The house is beautifully situated in the Conservation Area next to The Forstal (village green) where a local fete is held annually in June.
The village is surrounded by North Downs countryside designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and known as some of the most attractive undulating countryside in the area.
The property is just over a mile and a half from the A251 which provides an efficient route to Ashford as well as the M2 motorway (Jct. 6) and accessibility to the historic Town of Faversham.
The A2 from Faversham provides onward access to the Cathedral City of Canterbury. All of these destinations offer high speed (HS1) rail services to London St. Pancras.
The surrounding area is also well served by an excellent choice of schools both in the state and independent sectors, including grammar schools and village primary schools.
