Description

Property Description: Located in the sought after village of Ruckinge, this property, that includes an attached self contained annex, comes to the market well presented with its flexible accommodation laid out over 3021 square feet.

The house is set within five and a half acres and includes equestrian facilities such as; stables, a tack room, a hay store and an enclosed paddock.

There is huge potential within the grounds. Subject to planning, there are a variety of options such as; the installation of a summer house or garden lodge, opportunities or further conversions and the chance for someone to grow a small holding business with livestock. The existing stables and storage are an asset to this property but if the new owners desired, there would be potential to convert these to additional accommodation for a dependent relative or a guest house with income potential. It's worth noting that as the property comes with an existing self contained annexe, there may be a saving to be had on the stamp duty.

Through the beautifully tiled entrance hall in the main house is the kitchen that has been well fitted with plenty of wall and base units for storage. There are integrated appliances that include two fridges, two freezers and a built in extractor hood that is fitted above the space for a freestanding cooker. With ample worktop space this kitchen is a dream to cook in, there's even room for a bistro table for convenient dining. As an added advantage, there is a separate utility room which has plumbing and space for both a washing machine and a tumble dryer.

Adjacent to the kitchen are the living and dining rooms. These two rooms can be laid out according to your preference. The current owners use the room with the French doors as their living room so they can sit and enjoy the garden views whilst relaxing. Both of these reception rooms are neutrally decorated and beautifully lit from said French doors.

Also to be found on the ground floor, are two of the double bedrooms, one of which has an en-suite cloakroom. Completing the main accommodation on this floor is the modern family shower room which is fully tiled and has a large walk in shower and a white suite.

Upstairs, the main bedroom has everything you need, from a walk in wardrobe and dressing area, an en-suite and a gorgeous balcony. There are French doors to this room that open out onto the balcony that overlooks the extensive grounds. In the summer months, this would be the ideal spot to relax and soak up the sun. The modern en-suite bathroom is fully tiled and has the luxury of a separate shower cubicle as well as a bath. The second double bedroom to the top floor has fitted wardrobes and an en-suite shower room with a fresh white suite. Completing the top floor is the single bedroom which is large enough for a bunk beds and some additional bedroom furniture.

The Annexe: Attached to the ground floor accommodation, yet fully self-contained, is the neutrally decorated annexe. This addition to the main residence could be an ideal AirBnb opportunity or a lovely home to dependent relatives. Upon entrance, immediately to your right is the cream country style kitchen that has space for a small dining table and chairs. There is also a separate utility room next to the kitchen for appliances. French doors in the living room give direct access to pretty courtyard gardens. Additional French doors in the double bedroom, with fitted wardrobes, draw the natural light and gardens in. There is a fully tiled en-suite with a useful shower over the bath.

Outside: This exciting property sits on approximately five and a half acres of extensive grounds and has something for everyone to enjoy in the garden. The property is approached by a private driveway with a turning area and off road parking for several vehicles. The front garden has a neat circular lawn and some well kept perennials to the border. There are double wooden gates to the side of the house that lead you through to the garage which has both power and lighting connected. Adjacent to the house and easily accessible from both the main house and the annexe is an attractive courtyard area, covered by a solid wood pergola, which is the perfect spot for alfresco entertaining. The equestrian facilities include three stables, a hay store and tack room (with external plumbing) and an enclosed paddock. The wonderful family gardens feature a large, established pond. To the rear of the plot follow the trail into your own private woodland.

Location: The village stands on high ground bordering Romney Marsh. A belt of woodland divides the parish into Lower and Upper Ruckinge with the Royal Military Canal running through the lower part of the parish, to the south of Ruckinge and runs all the way to the coastal town of Hythe. It is a lovely dog walking route or alternatively you can take the family for a walk in the woods. The old school is now used as the village hall and the Blue Anchor pub, which had close association with gangs of local smugglers, dates back to 1765. The nearest Primary School is now Hamstreet Primary. The nearest shops and railway station are in nearby Hamstreet. Hamstreet Station has trains taking you to Ashford International in under 10 minutes and onto London St Pancras in just 38 minutes. Ruckinge's history includes smuggling, once rife on Romney Marsh and it is rumoured that the notorious Ransley brothers were buried in Ruckinge churchyard after being hanged at Penenden Heath, Maidstone
