Description
I suspect the buildings being sold with this pretty house will capture the imagination with lots of possibilities -- Alex Davies, Managing Director
#TheGardenOfEngland
A refurbished period farmhouse of considerable character and charm surrounded by gardens and grounds extending in all to about 1.09 acres including a range of useful outbuildings.
This most attractive Grade II listed 4-bedroom house includes a self-contained 1-bedroom annexe and several useful storage buildings.
This delightful property is situated on the edge of the historic village of Pluckley and within walking distance of village facilities. The house is tucked away within its own gardens and grounds behind automated entrance gates.
Pluckley has two well regarded pub/restaurants (a third is at Little Chart), a village shop/Post office, butchers’ shop, and primary school. There is a pretty Parish church as well as recreational amenities including tennis courts.
On the edge of the village there is a mainline railway station with mainline connections to both Ashford International and Central London stations. From Ashford station, there are 38-minute journey times to London St. Pancras with trains running every half an hour via the High-Speed service.
The thriving market town of Ashford is about 5 miles to the southeast and includes access to the M20 motorway at Junction 9 as well as excellent retail and recreational amenities.
The wider area is well served by a choice of schools both in the state and independent sectors, including grammar schools for boys and girls at Ashford.
