This elegant country home was built in the 1920s and has been exceptionally well cared for and extended over the years. The property is nestled in the heart of Kent's countryside and has panoramic views around the 0.85 acres of land. Set in an idyllic spot and tucked away down a quiet country lane, this house is ideal for those wanting a peaceful lifestyle yet require the convenience of both Ashford and Tenterden being within just 7 miles and the delightful village of Woodchurch is just a couple of miles away. With deer grazing in the back fields and a large pond attracting more of the local wildlife, you will be able to enjoy plenty of relaxing moments in the serene atmosphere on offer with this property.


The entrance hall is bright and sets the tone for how well presented the property is. There is access from here to the downstairs cloakroom, a large storage cupboard and into the spacious living room which is beautifully lit from the triple aspect and double French doors that open out to the grounds.


On the other side of the entrance hall the open plan kitchen/dining room runs the entire length of the property. This is a fantastic space for entertaining and spending time with family and friends. There is an original beam which gives the sense of divide in this room, separating the kitchen from the dining area. Wonderfully fitted with a luxurious finish, this room has everything that you would expect from a kitchen of this calibre. There are plenty of base and wall mounted units for storage, a Rangemaster with five gas burners, two ovens and two ceramic hotplates, a wine cooler and an integrated dishwasher. There is also a perfect spot for a freestanding American fridge freezer. Adjacent to the kitchen is a separate utility room where the theme of the kitchen continues. More stylish units and a sink, convenient for laundry. There is also an integrated washing machine and a door leading out to the garden.


Upstairs is just as immaculately finished as downstairs. The main double bedroom has a light feel to it with dual aspect windows that let in plenty of natural light. There is a built in storage cupboard and an en-suite shower room. The second double bedroom has an ornate fireplace and two windows that overlook the stunning grounds. There is a further double bedroom and also a twin room, perfect for when the family come to stay. The family bathroom has a traditional yet modern feel to it with complimentary contrasting colours and a freestanding roll top bath - there is also a separate shower cubicle.


Offered for sale with no chain, this gorgeous country house is ready for its next owners to move straight in.


Outside: Set within a tranquil setting, this property is tucked away down a quiet country lane and is accessed through double wooden gates. There is a practical driveway with substantial parking and a large outbuilding which has both power and lighting connected - ideal as a workshop area or as regular garden storage. There are 0.85 acres of land with this house, all of which has been obviously well cared for over the years. The large secure pond and patch of lawn that has been left to grow a little longer, creates a wild garden for the local wildlife to enjoy. With some well established hedging and trees to the border, this garden captures the perfect balance of privacy, yet still enables you to enjoy the far reaching and open countryside views. Leading out from the double French doors in the living room is the landscaped patio which is the perfect setting for alfresco dining. Towards the foot of the garden, is the modern decked area which houses the wood fired hot tub and has space for some beautiful garden furniture. The perfect place to soak away the day and enjoy the views or a starry night.
