Description

A good village home with an acre of land and further land available by separate negotiation. -- Greg Wood, Director

#TheGardenOfEngland

A detached family home situated on the outskirts of the village of Lydd, presented for sale in good order with several recent upgrades, including new windows and doors, sturdy fencing to the boundaries, and a modern kitchen and bathroom. The property is offered with approximately one acre of land, comprising a regular rear garden together with a paddock.

A separate Lot 2 is also available for a further £50,000 guide price comprising the additional land approximately 0.6 acre to the side of the property.

As the photographs show, the house is in excellent order and represents a rare opportunity to acquire a family home with the bonus of a paddock, including independent access (right of way) via a farm track just along the road. This is marked on the land plan provided. The paddock has been grazed by horses and sheep for many years.

Lot 2, available separately, is a now-disused greenhouse/nursery, a static caravan and a detached double garage. The static caravan has been in situ since 2018 and replaced previous versions which are understood to have been on the site and in continuous use since at least 2001.

The greenhouse/nursery and associated land offer excellent potential for redevelopment or alternative use, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions and consents.

Footpaths/Riding
There are no footpaths or other public rights of way crossing the land. There is a Public Footpath along the track (marked in our plan) that provides vehicular access to the rear paddock.

Situation
Lydd, a historic town in Kent, sits at the heart of the stunning Romney Marsh, a unique and tranquil landscape of wide open spaces, wetlands, and rich wildlife. The town has a quiet, rural charm and is close to some of the county’s most distinctive natural attractions.
Lydd offers good road connectivity, with the A259 nearby providing links to Rye, Hastings, and Folkestone, while the M20 is about a 30-minute drive away for access to London and the Eurotunnel. Although there is no direct train station in Lydd, nearby stations like Rye and Ashford International offer convenient rail connections to London and Europe.
The coastline is one of Lydd’s major draws, with Dungeness beach just a short drive away. This shingle beach, known for its dramatic, otherworldly landscape, is popular with nature lovers and photographers. Further along the coast, you'll find more traditional seaside towns like New Romney and Camber Sands.
Overall, Lydd offers a peaceful, close-knit community vibe, with an emphasis on nature and a slower pace of life, making it ideal for those looking to escape the bustle of larger towns and cities.
