Description

An unlisted detached former granary converted to provide manageable, versatile and characterful accommodation occupying a rural setting with the benefit of a detached annexe, garden studio and far reaching countryside views.

The property is situated on the rural periphery of the village of Ruckinge about 2.5 miles from the village of Hamstreet which provides everyday facilities along
with primary school, railway station and local school transport/collection points. The market town of Ashford is just over 7 miles away with its variety of retail outlets, access to the M20 motorway and mainline station with high-speed train services to London taking just over 37 minutes. Conveniently situated for the network of local footpaths which afford access over neighbouring countryside, landmarks include the historic Royal Military Canal and famous Romney Marsh which stretches all the way to the coast. The area is a haven for wildlife, especially ornithology.

A delightful unlisted former granary of traditional brick and weatherboarded elevations occupying a favourable rural setting enjoying impressive views over adjoining countryside towards Romney Marsh. The manageable accommodation is full of character including an inglenook fireplace with wood burning stove and an abundance of exposed timbers and joinery. The Granary is accompanied by a separate one bedroom annexe which can be used for holiday letting, guest accommodation or home working. There are two further detached outbuildings within the gardens which include a brick summerhouse with heating and power, and a timber garden art studio with woodburning stove, electric power, broadband and panoramic, countryside views. There is off road private parking and a car port. This delightful property has been enjoyed by its creative owners and will appeal to those who like painting, photography, writing or pottery.
