Description
I can very easily see the appeal of a delightful period home combined with enchanting main gardens and a further dedicated paddock., -- Adam Howell, Head of Ashford Homes
#TheGardenOfEngland
An exceptionally pretty Grade II Listed house situated towards the top of Church Hill surrounded by splendid tree lined gardens, approached via a private driveway, with a tennis court, a detached garage building, and a further paddock to the rear.
NO CHAIN
A particularly attractive grade two listed detached cottage, beneath a Kent Peg roof and a tile hung façade, with an array of period features including original oak latch doors, exposed beams and brickwork, and sensational feature fireplaces.
The accommodation is surprisingly bright and is currently arranged as three bedrooms with both upstairs and downstairs bathroom facilities. A sociable kitchen/breakfast room is complimented by a more formal dining room, and the characterful sitting room has a cosy inglenook fireplace and a separate snug area.
A home office room to the rear of the ground floor could easily double as a fourth bedroom or guest accommodation as and when required, and the utility area/boot room is a handy and practical entrance to the house after countryside walks.
Gardens and grounds
The plot is a combination of mature and well maintained garden areas immediately surrounding the home, incorporating a pond and a special assortment of individual trees, shrubs and planting beds, with private patio seating areas suitable for outdoor dining and relaxation taking in the best of the wonderful outlook across the grounds.
A long gravel driveway passes the enclosed tennis court and allows parking for several vehicles, leading to a large double garage with a pitched roof space, ideal for secure storage or perhaps other specific hobbies and uses.
Access to the paddock is straightforward and access largely bypasses the main house and gardens, our understanding is that the house and land combined are offered for sale on one single title.
Historic planning permission for the tennis court included the provision for a smart and quite substantial garden building, and something similar may be possible subject to the necessary consents being obtained.
Situation
Mumford Cottage occupies a quintessential village position close to St Michael’s Church and is almost entirely screened from the road and neighbouring houses by an established and colourful tree line.
The property maintains the unique balance of a fine semi-rural lifestyle whilst still being within easy reach of transport links, the village doctor’s surgery, and both private and public sector schooling options.
