There is almost 1000 sq.ft of bright and airy accommodation which is predominately open plan living to the ground floor with three generously proportioned bedrooms to the first floor, the property also benefits from a 140 ft beautifully landscaped rear garden.

There is a wonderful potential to extend with a side return offering space for additional living accommodation and a loft which could also be converted. STPC

The facade is typical of a Victorian property with beautiful bay windows and apex roof. The front door opens into an entrance lobby which in turn leads one to the open plan living room with underfloor heating and a wood burning stove which is nestled within the exposed brick chimney breast. The kitchen could be opened up, making the whole of the ground floor open plan, or there is the option to extend out to the side return.

The kitchen is just a few years old and has an array of wall and floor units with free standing appliances, laminate work tops and metro style tiles. There is a large double range stove central to the units whilst the ceramic sink overlooks the garden.
The downstairs space is further enhanced by a well-appointed washroom.

To the first floor there is a galleried landing leading to three generously proportioned bedrooms and a well-appointed family bathroom.

OUTSIDE:

There is parking to the front of the property whilst to the rear there is a 140 ft rear garden which is mainly laid to lawn with neatly laid borders made out of sleepers, whilst to the other side there is a pathway leading down to a 300 sq.ft shed which offers storage and a summer bar.

At the side of the house there is an opportunity to extend, and drawings and plans were permitted in 2012, these could be explored and potentially resubmitted.


AGENTS NOTE:

The wood burning stove and double range may not be included in the sale and this would be down to later negotiations.

The thriving market town of Ashford also offers excellent shopping, recreational and educational amenities, along with a high-speed rail link from Ashford International Station which reaches London St Pancras in just 38 minutes.

The area is very well served by road connections, with the A2/M2 accessible from nearby Canterbury and the M20 (which can be joined at Ashford) both connecting with London and the coast.
