Church Lane, Hothfield, Ashford, Kent, TN26

I found this to be a very peaceful and private spot with a lovely southerly aspect -- Alex Davies, Managing Director,

#TheGardenOfEngland

A very private and well-appointed 4-bedroom house with bedrooms and bathrooms on both floors in a privileged location on the edge of the village with lovely views and a bright southerly aspect.

Close to St Margaret’s Church, the house is set within 5.5 acres and once formed part of the 350-acre Hothfield Place Estate.

The property is a two-storey house in the chalet dormer style with distinctive parapet walls on both the front and rear elevations.

The beauty of this home is in the low maintenance simplicity and the practical accommodation layout featuring both bedrooms and bathrooms on both floors.

The enviable surroundings, private but not isolated, are an uncompromising attraction along with a splendid southerly rural aspect.

Significant improvements have been made during the current ownership including a new kitchen by ‘City Kitchens of Canterbury’, a new bathroom and redecorations.

Additional accommodation exists above the double barn style garage. The two rooms served by an external staircase, could be adopted for varying uses.

The house is tucked away from view in a peaceful and tranquil location approached through a cobbled courtyard close to the pretty church and neighbouring vineyard on the edge of the village.

The high walled gardens are still evident on the approach to the church once part of the 350-acre country estate of Hothfield Place no longer in existence.

The village of Hothfield has an excellent store/Post office as well as access to Hothfield Common, a stunning nature reserve extending to about 143 acres including woodland and heathland under conservation.

Highland cattle and Konik ponies can often be seen grazing and the common offers delightful rambling walks. Part of the village is also crossed by the Greensand Way with further extensive walking.

There are local bus services to and from the village and the nearby A20 provides efficient access to the M20 motorway at Junction 9 as well as to the Town of Ashford with its wide-ranging retail shopping opportunities and International station serving 37 minute high-speed trains to London St. Pancras. Future continental services are planned.

The area is well equipped with a good choice of schools both in the state and independent sectors, including Ashford school, which has premises at nearby Great Chart.
