Oak Grove Lane, High Halden, Ashford, Kent, TN26

This beautiful farmhouse really feels like a home. It is full of character and charm, but also works so well for modern family life, with plenty of space and even the potential for an annexe -- Sarah Holgate, Associate Director.

Moat Farm House
Moat Farm House is a most attractive Grade II Listed property that has been enjoyed by the same family for around 70 years. Dating back to the 18th Century, the property has been very well maintained and has flexible accommodation over 2 floors with potential for an annexe on the ground floor. Much of the character has been retained including feature fireplaces and some wonderful beams. To the front of the property is a pretty porch area which leads you through to the entrance hall with stairs to the first floor. To one side is a door into the generous dining room with brick open fireplace and double sash windows to the front. There is a door from here into the snug which works well as a home study and benefits from a wood burning stove and french patio doors. The sitting room lies opposite the dining room and has a feature inglenook fireplace with wood burning stove and some dividing beams opening into the cosy reading area with part vaulted ceiling. The kitchen/breakfast room is accessed from most rooms and is a good size with space for a table and chairs, and fitted with a range of wood units with worksurfaces over, an Esse oven, a built in oven and microwave, space for a fridge freezer and a dishwasher. Just off the kitchen is the utility room with further cupboards/storage units, an oven, gas hob and extractor hood. This could work as a separate kitchen if an annexe was required with the garden room and shower room connecting to here. The garden room is a great place to enjoy the lovely rear garden and has a wood burning stove and double doors opening onto the garden patio.
Upstairs, there is a good size landing area with a couple of steps down to the master bedroom which has a modern ensuite shower room. There are 2 further double bedrooms off the landing area and they share the family bathroom. There is plenty of storage within the eaves and also in the attic/loft.
There are great countryside and garden views from the bedroom windows.

The property is considered in good order throughout and early viewing is highly recommended.
