About 2.50 acres

Sole Street is the upper part of the village of Crundale, close to the village of Waltham and almost equidistant between the market town of Ashford & the Historic City of Canterbury. Ashford offers immediate access to the M20 and provides HS1 high speed trains to London St Pancras with journey times from 37 minutes at peak times with shorter journey times to Stratford International & Ebbsfleet Stations.

Nearby Wye has a good range of village amenities, including a GP surgery, a dentist, a supermarket, and local shops in addition to the railway station. There are several well regarded primary schools in the area, including at Wye & Bodsham and secondary schools are available at Wye, Canterbury & Ashford both in the public & private sectors.

Crundale & The North Downs

The area has a lot to offer for horse riders, walkers and nature lovers, who can enjoy exploration of the beautiful farm and woodland. The North Downs are particularly well known as an area to enjoy horse and bike riding on the network of mainly undulating lanes and public rights of way.
Timber Batts @ The Compasses Inn is situated in Sole Street a few yards from the property and plays a key role within the Crundale community.

Outside/Gardens

The property is approached off the lane over an entrance drive leading to the bungalow with the Detached Garage, a Summer House/Hobby Room and Storage Shed.

As can be seen from the photographs, the gardens are mainly laid to lawn.

Stables

1) A pair of stables with an adjoining tack room.
2) An ‘L’ shaped hay barn.

Paddocks

The land is divided into level grazing paddocks to allow for grazing rotation. One paddock has frontage to Sole Street where there is an access to the rear. The paddocks are well fenced, and water is connected.

Soil Type

The land is shown as Soilscape 8 on the LandIS Land Information System Map.

Footpaths/Riding

1) There are no footpaths crossing the property.
2) There is very convenient, nearby access via a Byway (No. 0101/AE52/6) to the north of the property for riding & hacking which takes you into the large Denge and Pennypot Woods between Sole Street & Shalmsford Street.
