Tucked into a small courtyard of former foresters' cottages, this characterful 5-bedroom home offers almost 1,800 sqft across three floors and a rare, large plot backing directly onto Kings Wood. The house mixes period features — exposed floorboards, chimney openings and a wood-burning stove — with family-friendly spaces: a farmhouse-style kitchen, a generous dining conservatory and a tucked-away master suite with ensuite and treetop views.
Outside is the property's standout asset: roughly a quarter of an acre of mature garden with a latch gate straight into ancient woodland, a detached timber garage, private parking accessed via electric gates and a substantial timber gazebo fitted as an outdoor entertaining 'party zone' with Asado grill, Sonos system and a hot tub. The setting and outdoor facilities suit an outdoors-oriented family who value privacy and woodland access.
There is clear scope to enlarge and modernise the ground-floor living area — planning for an 11m x 6m kitchen/living/dining extension was previously granted (Ref: 18/01002/AS) but has lapsed and would require resubmission. Practical points to note: the house currently has two bathrooms for five bedrooms, broadband speeds are average for the area and maintaining the large garden and timber outbuildings will require regular upkeep.
Well placed for village life, the property is walking distance to an Ofsted-rated outstanding primary school, a farm shop and pub, with Ashford International around eight miles away for high-speed links to London. For a family seeking character, generous outside space and direct woodland access, this cottage presents immediate enjoyment and clear potential to extend and personalise.
