Set on about a third of an acre in peaceful Aldington, this unlisted stone cottage dates from c.1750 and keeps many original features. The ground floor has two reception rooms with inglenook fireplaces, a long country-style kitchen with utility and downstairs WC, plus a peaceful outlook over mature gardens and patios ideal for outdoor dining.
Upstairs are three bedrooms and a family bathroom; the current owners have also converted the attic to provide an additional room and storage. The cottage has double glazing fitted since 2002 and benefits from off-road parking and an attached garage. Direct access to country walks and a large garden with sheds, summerhouse and a covered sociable area will appeal to those wanting true rural living.
Practical points to note: heating is via electric storage heaters and the stone walls are assumed to have no insulation, so energy costs and comfort may be a consideration. Ceiling heights are generally low and some rooms are compact; the property has one family bathroom only. Council tax band is high. The house is offered freehold and chain-free, which can simplify moving timescales.
This home suits buyers looking for a characterful family cottage with generous outdoor space and scope to modernise rather than someone seeking a turnkey, low-maintenance property. Commuters can reach Ashford easily for HS1 services and local amenities, while village schools and countryside are close by.
