Susans Hill, Woodchurch, Ashford, Kent, TN26

What I particularly like about this property is that the exterior gives little indication of what lies within, plus the 1.12 acres of gardens, an annexe and wonderful countryside views -- Sarah Holgate, Associate Director

#TheGardenOfEngland

A stylish detached property, extended to create modern open plan living spaces whilst retaining some of the original charm and character, set in beautiful gardens of about 1.12 acres and with detached garage with carport and workshop, and a smart detached 2 bedroom annexe. Located along a country lane with commanding countryside views and within walking distance of the village amenities.

Sitting at the top end of Susans Hill, a rural lane, the picturesque and popular village of Woodchurch is just ½ a mile down the hill.
The village has excellent day to day facilities with a village shop, post office, butcher, doctor’s surgery, two pubs, a 13th Century church and a popular primary school. There is a many and varied range of clubs and societies.
The historic market town of Tenterden is around 3.5 miles away and has a comprehensive range of shops, including a Waitrose supermarket and there are many restaurants and public houses.
There is a wide choice of both private and state schooling in the Tenterden & Ashford area.
The thriving market town of Ashford with its international station is 9 miles away. The high speed railway provides a service into London St Pancras in around 37 minutes, making this property easily within commutable distance. Alternatively for trains to the City or West End, Pluckley and Headcorn station are respectively 9 and 12 miles away.
Motorway access is from Junction 9 of the M20 providing a fast link to the Channel Tunnel, ports and M25.

From the outside this looks like an unassuming 1940’s detached chalet style bungalow that has been a much loved family home. The owner has creatively extended the property about 10 years ago completely updating the house into a modern family home with open spaces and versatile living rooms, paying particular attention to the energy efficiency by including solar panels, underfloor heating and insulation. The addition of the 2 bedroom annexe provides further flexibility for multi-generational living too.
On the ground floor, there is an undercover entrance porch with stylish tiles and this leads into the generous entrance hallway with stairs to the first floor and storage cupboards. There is a sitting room with bay window to the front of the property and a fireplace with wood burning stove. There are two double bedrooms, one being used as a study with double doors onto the garden patio, and these share the modern shower room. Running along the rear of the property is the wonderful open plan kitchen/breakfast/dining room complete with bi-fold doors and corner wood burning stove. The kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of modern painted units with wood worksurfaces over including a breakfast bar, integrated appliances, space for a dining table and chairs and space for a sofa/family area. Next to the kitchen is the handy utility/book room with a further range of storage cupboards and a door to the garden.
Upstairs there are 3 double bedrooms, the master bedroom looks over the rear garden and has a wonderful balcony and bespoke fitted wardrobes. There is a separate modern family bath/shower room and plenty of eaves storage. All the bedroom windows enjoy superb countryside views including morning sunrises to spectacular sunsets.
