Summary - THE OLD BAKEHOUSE THE STREET GREAT CHART ASHFORD TN23 3AH
4 bed 2 bath Cottage
Spacious family home with secret garden, garden room and excellent commuter links.
Handsome 1600s period cottage with original ovens and exposed beams
A rare 17th‑century house that balances storied character with generous family living. Exposed beams, latch doors, original bakery ovens and multiple fireplaces give the house strong period appeal, while four reception rooms and a large kitchen/breakfast room provide flexible space for daily family life and entertaining.
Outside, two distinct gardens create private outdoor rooms — a paved courtyard leading to a ‘secret’ garden with a treehouse, plus a large garden room ideal as a home office, play space or seasonal entertaining area. Practical features include car port parking for two cars and a sizeable plot with productive fruit walls for keen gardeners.
Good commuter links make this an attractive family base: just over 2 miles to Ashford International with 38‑minute High Speed services to London, easy access to the M20, and a strong local school mix including a top grammar nearby. Local buses and village amenities are within walking distance.
Important practical points: the house uses oil central heating and an oil‑fired AGA, which have ongoing fuel and maintenance costs. There are internal steps between rooms and generally low ceilings in parts of the house, which may not suit everyone. Parking is via a neighbour’s driveway to the car port, and council tax sits at Band G.
