Tudor Cottage is a fully refurbished 1920s five-bedroom detached home set in 1.33 acres of secluded gardens, paddock and mature trees on the edge of Aldington village. The house combines period character — exposed beams, oak doors and a black-and-white Tudor façade — with contemporary comforts such as engineered oak floors, double glazing and a modern kitchen and bathrooms. Three sets of French doors open the principal living space onto a wide terrace and lawns, creating a strong indoor–outdoor flow for family living and entertaining.
The plot is a major asset: expansive lawns, a large pond, vegetable beds, fruit trees and a paddock ideal for hobby equestrian use or leisure conversion. A substantial oak-framed double carport shelters two cars and adjoins a building with two versatile rooms currently used as office and studio — useful for home working or as an income-producing workshop. The village is half a mile away with a primary school, shop, pub and local amenities; Ashford International and the M20 are within easy reach for commuting.
Practical considerations are stated plainly. Heating is oil-fired via boiler and radiators; broadband speeds are slow in this rural location. The property has cavity walls “as built” with no assumed additional insulation, and the council tax band is described as expensive. There are two bathrooms and a cloakroom for five bedrooms, which may require adaptation for larger households. The grounds and substantial outbuildings offer scope for further improvement or conversion, subject to consents.
In summary, this is a characterful country home for buyers seeking space, privacy and versatile ancillary accommodation. It will particularly suit families wanting rural life near good village amenities, buyers seeking a home office or creative studio, or anyone after a large plot with scope to personalise — while accepting the running costs and rural infrastructure trade-offs that come with a sizable, private country property.
