Summary - 2 ELMSTED COURT COTTAGE, WHATSOLE STREET, ELMSTED, ELMSTED TN25 5JN
3 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
Established yard, sand school and paddocks ideal for riding enthusiasts.
3-bedroom early 1900s cottage with two reception rooms and attic space
A traditional three-bedroom cottage set within about 3.40 acres, this property combines comfortable country living with ready-made equestrian facilities. The house, dating from around 1900, offers two reception rooms with wood-burning stoves, a modern kitchen, a boot room and useful attic space. The plot includes a double garage, tack room and a useful garden screened by mature hedging.
The land is laid out as four permanent paddocks with lane frontage, hard-core access gates and an ‘L’ shaped stable yard of five stables (including a foaling box), additional lean-to stabling, a chicken coop and a well drained silica-sand riding arena (c. 40m x 20m). Solar panels with a lithium storage battery provide the stables’ power, and mains water is connected to the land.
Practical points to note: the cottage uses an oil boiler and private septic tank drainage (with filtration/soakaway) which will require ongoing servicing and maintenance. The paddocks and stables are situated across the lane from the cottage, so routine movement of animals or machinery involves crossing the lane via separate access gates. Planning consent for a single-storey side extension was granted on 27 November 2024 (ref 24/1634/FH), offering clear scope to enlarge the living space.
This is a genuine small-holding for riders or a family seeking established equestrian facilities in a peaceful Kent Downs location. The property is offered freehold with very low local crime, fast broadband and convenient road and rail links to Canterbury, Ashford and the M20.
