I watched this fabulous house transformed into a stunning family home and I love the south facing aspect -- Alex Davies, Managing Director

#TheGardenOfEngland

A contemporary style country house with multi bay garaging and EV charging facilities set in a glorious south facing location close to the village and adjoining protected managed woodland.
In all about 2.12 acres.


A quite superb, detached family house originating from the turn of the last century and entirely redesigned, reconfigured and extended in the past 10 years to a high standard and an impressive specification.

The kitchen by ‘Tom Howley’ is subtle and understated featuring a comprehensive range of integrated appliances by ‘Miele’ and a ‘Quooker’ boiling tap.

At one end of the kitchen is a pleasing dining space which opens into both the playroom and family room which in turn reaches into the gardens via two sets of bifolding doors.

The Laundry and Boot room fitments are also by 'Tom Howley' and both the study, dressing room and bedrooms are equoipped with 'Strachan’ fitted furniture.

The bathrooms have been beautifully designed with ‘Villeroy & Boch’ and ‘Hansgrohe’ fittings.

The property is surrounded by its landscaped gardens and has a private access to ‘Poulton Wood’ a managed woodland and nature reserve.

History

The playwright Noel Coward’s friend Gladys Calthrop (1894-1980), also the set and costume designer for most of his films and plays, resided at Poultons Hatch probably during the time that Coward lived at Goldenhurst nearby.

Gardens

Professionally landscaped with paved terraces, creative planting, raised beds and stretches of lawns with a wide variety of mature shrubs and trees. The southerly facing gardens also include a veranda.
At the far end of the garden within a former orchard, is a timber sectional building containing a studio and storage shed.

On the western side of the house, is an entrance driveway with gates leading to a large parking forecourt and partly open bay garaging with an electric roller door to the closed section and additional storage facilities. There are two EV chargers.

Land/Stables

There is a separate field of about 1.23 acres with independent vehicular access from the road leading to an excellent stable block and yard. Planning permission has been obtained for the installation of a 60’ x 20’ riding arena, water and electricity are connected.

Situation

The house is situated along Mill Lane just below the centre of the popular village of Aldington.

The village has a useful store/Post Office, village hall with recreational amenities, Inn, parish church and a well-regarded primary school.

Wider facilities are available in the thriving market town of Ashford including access to the M20 motorway and International Station providing 37 minute High Speed trains to London St Pancras.
The town of Ashford boasts excellent retail opportunities along with a choice of both state and independent schools including grammar schools for boys and girls.
