Horseshoe Cottage is a charming early-19th-century Grade II listed detached cottage set in about 0.71 acres of mature, private gardens. The house showcases original character features — exposed beams, inglenook fireplace and sash-style windows — and offers generous principal rooms and a triple-aspect bedroom with countryside views across the Kent Downs.
The plot includes a long driveway, double and single garages, and a detached outbuilding with a new roof, electrics, lighting and water — ideal as a home office, games room or potential annexe subject to permissions. The layout suits family life with a kitchen/breakfast room, roomy sitting and dining spaces and a utility and cloakroom on the ground floor.
Buyers should note the property’s listed status: any alterations will require listed-building consents and may limit structural changes. The house presents a comfortable, characterful home but does require updating in places. Broadband speeds are reported slow, and council tax is described as quite expensive — practical considerations for modern family life.
For families seeking privacy and countryside living, the location is strong: a quiet hamlet setting with easy access to Charing and Ashford, primary schools nearby and a fast train from Ashford International to London. The property suits buyers who value period character, large gardens and outbuilding flexibility, and who are prepared to manage listed-building constraints and some modernization work.
