Description

Guide £700,000 - £735,000 Located in a tucked away, elevated position with stunning views over glorious open countryside, this lovely property offers an exciting chance to purchase a detached 3 double bedroom family home with large south facing plot extending to circa one acre, (unmeasured) which has planning and foundations in place for a substantial two-storey side extension, all within easy reach of the village of Bethersden and the market town of Ashford.

It is not hard to comprehend why the current owners were attracted to this very special location. Not only are the views simply mesmerising, but the property has masses of potential and not only offers someone the opportunity to put their stamp on this special home, but also offers the chance to live a more tranquil existence, while still being within easy reach of good shopping, leisure, educational and transport facilities.

This property also boasts extensive parking, a two-bay cart lodge style garage with attached secure garden store, an EV vehicle charging point, large timber summerhouse and separate outbuilding, offering further potential. Viewing is highly recommended to appreciate everything this unique property has to offer. NO ONWARD CHAIN.

ACCOMMODATION

This deceptively spacious house benefits from well-proportioned rooms, the majority of which have copious amounts of glazing, designed to maximise the views of the south facing garden and stunning countryside beyond. As such, sunny days are glorious here, with the doors thrown open to make the most of the idyllic surroundings.

As it stands, the 3 double bedroom / 3 bathroom house, which has undergone considerable improvement by the current owners, would suit any number of different buyers, but for those who like a project, there is much to get excited about here as the footings and walls are already in place for the proposed two-storey extension.

PROPOSED EXTENSION

The new proposed extension would sit to the side of the existing dwelling and on the ground floor, would consist of a large lounge which would be open to the current kitchen / dining room and an additional ground floor bedroom. To the first floor, there would be a good size principal bedroom with Velux Cabrio balcony, en-suite shower room and walk-in wardrobe.

The new extension has been designed to take full advantage of the beautiful Wealden countryside in which it sits, with large modern glass elements making the most of the views and natural light on offer. Planning permission was granted by Ashford Borough Council under reference 21/00606/AS. Full details can be found at

OUTSIDE

As you approach the house, you are not only struck by the position which offers both privacy and solitude, but by the stunning uninterrupted views across the beautiful countryside beyond, which quite simply take your breath away. The large south facing gardens provide a haven for children, pets, gardeners and nature lovers alike.

The property also benefits from extensive parking, a two-bay cart lodge style garage with attached secure store for bikes, ride on mower and other equipment, and a large timber summerhouse.

There is also a useful attached brick outbuilding which has been used as a gym but could be used in a variety of different ways. Please note that the garage attached to the back of this building is owned by the neighbouring property.
