Canterbury Road, Kennington, Ashford, Kent, TN25

Having garage envy is not a commonly used phrase, but it's definitely the case here. -- Greg Wood, Director

#TheGardenOfEngland

A unique detached Potton Home located on the edge of Kennington with four bedrooms and three reception rooms set in a generous plot with vehicular access to the front and rear boasting a traditional oak framed garage and brick built double garage.


With an eclectic variety of properties on the road, mostly detached and almost all with generous and relatively private plots, this part of Canterbury Road in Kennington has long proven highly sought after. Being on the outskirts of the town, there are fantastic links to public footpaths and walks in the countryside towards the villages of Boughton Lees and Wye. For those who like a Sunday roast or perhaps finer dining, there are three popular pubs within a few minutes walk. The recently refurbished ‘Stubbs’ is becoming a go to destination in Ashford and the Conning Brook and The Old Mill are often packed to the rafters.
Further along the road, the Conningbrook Lake and Julie Rose athletics stadium and Ashford Hockey Club provide superb outdoor recreations and fitness facilities. The Canterbury Road provides excellent links in both directions, Canterbury one way and then the M20, leading to Folkestone or London, the other. The Ashford Station, with HS1 links to London in 37 minutes, is within a 2.5 mile drive.

The House
For over 50 years Potton Homes have designed and built high quality self-build homes around
the country. Their construction is often identifiable by the visible timber frame on display throughout the houses and this home is no exception. Built by the current owners in 1988, this house is very tradition in design, with Tudor influences in the aesthetics and also enjoys a generous plot with good frontage.
The construction method blends decorative brickwork detailing and chunky timbers to give
a sturdy and architecturally pleasing home. A feature that is particularly impressive is the triple aspect living room with a large inglenook fireplace. The entrance hall and dining room also boast covered storm porches outside for added convenience. The house itself has been well maintained over the years displays bespoke solid wood doors throughout, a bespoke oak fronted kitchen with integrated appliances and all four bedrooms enjoying wardrobes (of varying sizes).

Outside
As the photos show, the gardens and grounds are especially well kept, with neatly trimmed and clipped shrubs, a smart lawned araea and patios and paths. In the rear garden there is a shed, greenhouse and attractive summer house.
To the front, the block paved driveway leads up from Canterbury Road and into the double width traditional oak framed garage. Behind the house there is a further brick built double garage with electric door. This is accessed from Tritton Fields and the driveway has parking for several cars. We suspect that this garage has potential for conversion into habitable accommodation, but professional advice should be sought and planning approval would need to be obtained.
