The house is situated adjacent to the church in a tucked away location with extensive gardens, stables and a paddock.

This 19th Century former village school is believed to have been converted into a family house in the 1970s retaining many original characteristics.
The principal room, formerly the school hall, is now an impressive Kitchen/Diner with a galleried mezzanine room above which has been used as a home working space.
The adjacent sitting room has wooden floorboards, a wood burning stove and a large adjacent conservatory.
In addition to three comfortable ground floor bedrooms (1 Ensuite), there is an apartment on the first floor with a balcony which has been previously used as an annexe but can be incorporated for use by a family if required as additional bedrooms.
Charing Heath is a village hamlet surrounded by glorious countryside with lovely views across surrounding fields and country walks immediately to hand.
For everyday facilities, the neighbouring villages of Egerton, Pluckley and Charing offer primary schools, shops, surgeries and the latter two both have railway stations.
The thriving Market Town of Ashford has a wider range of facilities including modern retail outlets and a wide range of recreational amenities.
Ashford International station offers domestic HS1 services to London St. Pancras in just 38 minutes. M20 motorway junctions 8 and 9 are just a few miles distant.
The surrounding area is well served by an excellent choice of schools both in the state and independent sectors.
