Set on just under an acre, this detached four-bedroom cottage-style house blends farmhouse character with spacious, private gardens and paddock. The well-proportioned ground floor offers a farmhouse kitchen with central island, separate dining area, conservatory and a generous lounge centred on a brick open fireplace — ideal for sociable indoor/outdoor family life. Original features include leaded windows, wooden floorboards and dormer bedrooms that give the home a cosy, country feel.
A substantial timber outbuilding (circa 40ft) sits to the side with plumbing and electrics already in place, offering clear annex, home-office or studio conversion potential (subject to planning). The long gravel drive, double-ended garage and mature, hedge-lined borders add privacy and kerb appeal; the paddock at the top of the plot suits small-scale hobby livestock or equestrian use.
Buyers should note some practical limitations: broadband speeds are slow and any change of use or conversion will require planning permission and likely refurbishment works. The property is presented in good, lived-in condition but offers significant scope for extension or modernisation to increase value and adapt the layout to contemporary family needs.
This location suits families seeking countryside space within easy reach of Ashford’s amenities and train links. The house is a characterful, flexible home with room to grow — attractive to buyers wanting privacy, outdoor space and creative renovation potential.
