Boughton Aluph Cottage is a substantial, detached family home set within about 0.75 acres of landscaped grounds and open countryside views. Just over 3,000 sq ft of flexible living space includes five reception rooms, a bespoke kitchen with high-end NEFF appliances, and generous bedroom accommodation — ideal for family life and entertaining.
The property’s layout, with two entrances and staircases, creates clear potential for a one-bedroom annexe or income use such as a holiday let. Outdoors, an enclosed garden backs onto the Wye Downs, with a heated outdoor pool (thermal cover), terrace, greenhouse, workshop and a double garage with room above — excellent for hobbies and storage.
Practical points to note: the house is oil‑fired centrally heated (boiler and radiators) and was constructed in the 1950s–60s, so some buyers may prefer to budget for future maintenance or modernisation in places. Broadband speeds are reported as slow and council tax is relatively high (Band G), which are worth factoring into running costs.
Chain free and well positioned for commuters, the property is about 2.2 miles to Wye station and 3.5 miles to Ashford International for fast London services. It will suit families seeking space, privacy and countryside lifestyle, or buyers looking to add value by creating an annexe or updating utilities.
