Description

A good opportunity to buy an equestrian property at an appealing price - James Hickman, Rural Property & Land.

#TheGardenOfEngland

A rural property with land, outbuildings and 5 stables on the edge of the Alkham Valley less than 1 mile from Alkham village and located within the Kent Downs National Landscape. The property comprises an extended cottage which is believed to have originally been just a two up two down cottage dating back to the early 1600’s.

The original cottage has been extended at various times over the years and now provides just over 2700 sq. ft. of accommodation. There is a generous double garage/workshop to the side of the house whilst to the rear is a good size garden. The paddocks and stables adjoin the garden to the east.

Situation

Bramble Hill Cottage is situated in a rural location between the villages of Alkham and West Hougham offering easy access via local lanes to Alkham Village and the Alkham Valley Road to the north or to the A20 to the south via West Hougham. There is easy access to Dover & the A2 and to Folkestone and the M20 & A20. High Speed Trains to London Stratford & St Pancras at Folkestone West Station are about 4.5 miles away at Folkestone West. Canterbury is about 12 miles.

Land & Stables

There are two separate blocks of stables, one of three and another of two set around a brick paved yard. These are located in an area next to the paddocks with gated access from the byway. There is a Mobile Home nearby which has been used for ancillary use only and not as a permanent dwelling.

The land is level pasture divided into two main paddocks with a smaller ‘turn out’ area close to the stable yard and has its own gated access from the Byway. The land is surrounded on 2 sides by arable farmland.

Public Footpaths

There are no footpaths or public rights of way crossing the property. However, the property does adjoin a ByWay (No ER181) which is useful for riding and joins up with Abbey Road to the north east.
