4 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

This pretty cottage has benefitted from a meticulous renovation and the results are superb. -- Greg Wood, Director

#TheGardenOfEngland

A fully renovated and extended period home, finished to an exceptional standard, that now boasts appealing open plan spaces, vaulted ceilings and welcoming features such as a log burner and exposed beams.

Set in a delightful village just a few miles to the south of Ashford and within reach of lovely country walks along the Royal Military Canal.


Offering the best of both worlds, this period cottage has benefitted from a nuts and bolts renovation and a considerable extension, with the most spectacular results. Period charm is blended with robust carpentry and craftmanship with appealing alterations to the floor plan, especially on the ground floor. The ground floor now offers a sweeping, open plan living arrangement, with practical boot room, utility and downstairs shower room to the rear. The country styled kitchen is a particular delight, with stone worktops fitted and a range of integrated appliances.
Upstairs, the sellers have cleverly extended the ceiling space into the roof line, with vaulted ceilings adding a great deal to the sense of space.
Outside, the garden has also benefitted from thoughtful landscaping, with a large sandstone patio, aesthetically pleasing fencing and a further seating area.
Full of quirks, this house is an exceptional example of traditional Kentish architecture combined with the comfort of a new interior.
