#TheGardenOfEngland

Nestled in it’s own delightful grounds of about 1.25 acres, this detached property has been sympathetically updated to a high standard incorporating a bespoke kitchen/breakfast room, open plan sitting/dining room, 3/4 bedrooms, 3 bath/shower rooms, boot room/utility and the addition of an annexe above the generous double garage. There is plenty of off road parking and further potential to extend (subject to the necessary planning consents).
Situated in a beautiful semi rural location on the outskirts of this popular village, surrounded by privately owned woodlands with deer that play in the paddock. Easy walk to Gusbourne vineyard with two further excellent vineyards close by (Chapel Down and Woodchurch).
Short drive to Ashford, Tenterden and local amenities. Train stations at Appledore, Hamstreet and Ashford.


Little Heronden enjoys a lovely semi rural location on the outskirts of this popular small village. Kenardington is surrounded by attractive countryside and is located about seven miles to the southwest of the thriving market town of Ashford. There are 3 local vineyards close-by (Chapel Down, Woodchurch and Gusbourne) with Gusbourne being over the road from the property and accessible via the bridleway. Gusbourne was also voted top 50 vineyard in the world in Kent online recently, which would enhance the annexe/Airbnb potential.
The historic town of Tenterden is about five miles to the west and school buses operate to both towns. For a range of facilities, the nearby village of Hamstreet (about two miles) has a railway station, shops, surgeries and local community activities. There are many walks, rides and cycle routes in the surrounding countryside including access to the famous Romney Marsh and the nearby pretty village of Appledore. Ashford offers a choice of schools both in the state and independent sectors including grammar schools for both boys and girls. There are modern retail outlets along with access to the International station providing 37 minute high speed trains to London St. Pancras. The M20 motorway at Ashford provides a fast link with the Channel Tunnel, Port of Dover and the M25. The historic town to Tenterden with its Georgian architecture and charming high street shopping is easily accessible.

Little Heronden
Little Heronden is a one off detached chalet bungalow set in its own grounds of about 1.25 acres in a semi rural position, backing onto private woodland. The house has recently undergone a comprehensive programme of sympathetic updating including rewiring, underfloor heating, new carpets and in particular, opening the wall from the kitchen into the dining/sitting room to make a welcoming open plan living space. The bespoke kitchen has been planned with precision and attention to detail and includes a range of wall and base units with luxury Quartz worktops, breakfast bar, underlighting and a hot water tap. Integrated appliances include a wine cooler, dishwasher and range style oven. There is underfloor heating throughout the kitchen/dining/sitting room. The sitting room has a central fireplace with wood burning stove and every window enjoys aspect over the gardens. Complimenting the ground floor is an entrance hallway, a large utility/boot room, two bedrooms (one is currently used as a home office) and a shower room. Upstairs there are two good size double bedrooms all redecorated and with new carpets. The master bedroom with fitted wardrobes and ensuite bathroom. There is a further separate bathroom together with plenty of storage cupboards. There are some lovely views from the windows over the garden and surrounding woodlands. See online for the photos/video of the deer family playing in the paddock!

Gardens
The whole plot extends to about 1.25 acres in total.
The front of the property has a mature clipped hedge boundary and mature shrubs with path leading to the front door. There are double gates which provide access to the driveway with space for numerous cars and/or caravans/campervans. The generous detached double garage lies to the left of the property with 2 up and over doors, light/power and a separate door to the rear with stairs to the annexe with open plan kitchen/dining/sitting room and separate shower room. The annexe offers excellent potential income as an Airbnb with 3 local vineyards all in close proximity. The paddock is just beyond the garage with five bar gate and is mostly laid to lawn with mature trees, shrubs and bushes. The main garden sits directly behind the property with patio area, lawn with some pretty flower borders, trees, shrubs and bushes. There is also a summerhouse.
