Summary - CHESTNUT TREE COTTAGE MERSHAM ASHFORD TN25 7HF
4 bed 3 bath Semi-Detached
Spacious 16th-century cottage with large gardens and far-reaching countryside views, minutes from Ashford and fast rail..
Exceptional 16th-century character: exposed beams and inglenook fireplace
Chestnut Tree Cottage is a rare 16th-century semi-detached cottage extended to provide about 2,300 sq ft of family-sized accommodation. Original character is retained throughout — exposed beams, vaulted ceilings and a substantial inglenook fireplace sit alongside a large, light kitchen/breakfast room fitted with custom oak units, a butler sink and an Aga. Multiple reception rooms and a conservatory give flexible living space for work, formal entertaining and family life.
The property sits on a generous, well-kept plot with mature flowerbeds, vegetable area, and a wide patio that captures far-reaching countryside views. Its peaceful edge-of-village position gives direct access to local amenities — shop, pub and primary school — while Ashford and the M20 are an easy drive; Ashford International offers high-speed rail to London in under 37 minutes.
Practical points to note: heating is provided by an oil-fired boiler serving radiators (records also reference LPG — buyers should verify current fuel/service arrangements). Drainage is private via a water treatment plant. The house has solid brick walls likely without modern cavity insulation and double glazing installed before 2002, so buyers should allow for possible energy-efficiency upgrades or remedial work.
Presented in good condition and carefully maintained, the cottage will suit buyers seeking a characterful family home in a rural setting with scope to improve running costs or further personalise the accommodation.
