Church Hill, Charing Heath, Ashford, Kent, TN27

The approach to this home alone is enough to impress, and I particularly like the vaulted interlinking space between the original house and the double garage, -- Adam Howell

#TheGardenOfEngland

A very pretty Grade II Listed thatched cottage, set far back from the lane within its own immaculately kept grounds, carefully extended over time to provide deceptively large and characterful accommodation, plus a double garage with integral access through the home.

Screened from the lane by established and mature trees and hedgerows, the environment and setting of this home is instantly welcoming and creates a genuine sense of privacy and seclusion.

Sympathetically extended and enhanced over the years, the living accommodation is now surprisingly spacious with four reception rooms and four bedrooms, three of which are uniquely accessed via separate staircases creating independent areas of the home to comfortably enjoy.

As you would expect from a grade 2 listed home of this era, there are several notable features including exposed beams and timbers throughout, and a quintessential inglenook fireplace in the main sitting room. The thatch itself has been replaced to exacting standards in recent years by a well regarded master craftsman, giving the next owner confidence in the quality of the work for many years to come.

The family/garden room is an excellent space for entertaining, and a double height pitched ceiling here creates a particularly light and bright space ideal for social events, a large guest bedroom is accessible from this part of the house, as is the sizeable double garage which provides secure parking or excellent storage if required.

As with most properties of this nature, the combination of an exceptional period home and fine gardens can only truly be appreciated first hand, and we can confidently recommend an inspection.

The rural location of Charing Heath is surrounded by glorious countryside with lovely views across surrounding fields and country walks immediately to hand.

For everyday facilities, the neighbouring villages of Egerton, Pluckley and Charing itself offer primary schools, shops, surgeries and the latter two both have railway stations.

The thriving Market Town of Ashford has a wider range of facilities including modern retail outlets and a wide range of recreational amenities.

Ashford International station offers domestic HS1 services to London St. Pancras in just 38 minutes. M20 motorway junctions 8 and 9 are just a few miles distant. The surrounding area is well served by an excellent choice of schools both in the state and independent sectors.
