Cop Street Road, Ash, Canterbury, Kent

This characterful converted chain free thatched barn is located at the end of a long drive off Cop Street Road, surrounded by orchards and farmland. It provides privacy and seclusion but is easily accessible to Sandwich, Canterbury and the nearby villages of Ash and Wingham while trains from Thanet Parkway station to St Pancras can take as little as 70 minutes.

The front door opens into an entrance hall with classical flagstones that continue into the reception hall and the kitchen. This includes a feature brick wall, an Aga, bespoke units with stand-along appliances, a pantry, room for a huge kitchen table and a stable door to the garden.

The double height reception hall has full height windows, a beautiful white oak staircase to the galleried landing, access to the study and oak doors to the dual aspect lounge. This has original vertical beams and an inglenook fireplace with a log burner plus a curtained archway to the study with full height windows and double oak doors to the dual aspect dining room.

Part of the landing incorporates a beamed and vaulted ceiling as well as access to the family bathroom and four bedrooms including two doubles with beamed and vaulted ceilings and inter-connecting mezzanine areas. While the first bedroom features exposed beams, fitted cupboards, a dressing area and an attractive beamed ensuite bath/shower room.

Beyond the kitchen is an extended section of the property that includes a separate entrance, a spacious boot room, a shower room/utility room with a boiler cupboard, internal access to the double garage and a double bedroom with a door to the garden. It could be used as offices or converted into a separate annexe that could incorporate the garage, subject to planning.

There is off road parking, a carport/log store and a walled garden area with a patio and a pathway that curves round a small lawn and trees as well as a shrub border while the side grassland area is edged with rose beds.

What the Owner says:

The barn was one of the buildings on our family's farm and we converted it about 30 years ago to create a wonderful home to bring up our children in idyllic surroundings, but we are now downsizing.
Local Ash village includes a pub, two convenience stores, a chemist, hairdressers, a doctor's surgery and a beauty spa. There are also sports clubs, activities in the village hall and fishing in Sandwich lakes as well as a good primary school and St Faith's prep school.

Nearby Sandwich features delightful pubs, restaurants and individual shops while golfers can enjoy their game at Princes and St George's championship course. Boating enthusiasts can moor their boats along the River Stour and other sporting activities are easily available. There is an excellent grammar school in Sandwich while other excellent grammar and private schools are available in the surrounding towns.
