Bromley Green Road, Ruckinge, Ashford, Kent

If your dream is to run an already highly successful business from home in idyllic rural surroundings, this property could turn your dream into reality. This modernised four bedroom property includes a 2 bedroom annexe and luxury catteries. It is approached through solid wood automatic gates opening onto a block paved parking area and a drive to the annexe and garage. A patio leads to the covered porch and oak front door that opens into a hall with stairs to the first floor.

There is a family wet room style shower room, a double bedroom with mirrored wardrobes and two further double bedrooms. Oak doors open into the awe-inspiring family space with five bi-fold doors to the terrace. A living area includes an impressive inglenook fireplace with a log burner and shelving, while guests will enjoy a meal in the spacious dining area. The superb kitchen area features attractive units housing a variety of upmarket appliances and a large central island breakfast/bar. Upstairs there is a bathroom and the adjacent dual aspect main bedroom with fitted cupboards plus eaves storage and loft access.

Doors from the kitchen open into a utility room with French doors to the terrace and access to the annexe. This includes a hallway, a bathroom, stairs to the first floor and a door to the lounge/diner which is currently the cattery reception. This leads to a kitchen and a bedroom currently in use as a hairdressing salon with French doors to the garden. On the first floor there is a walk-in storage cupboard and a double bedroom with fitted wardrobes.

Outside there is a large Indian sandstone terrace with a hot tub and a wood gazebo. Gravel pathways, flanked by lawns bordered by shrubs and close board fencing, lead to two sets of stables, a store room and a dog bathroom as well as to the ancient woodland and the luxurious ‘Kitty Hotel' with its decked terrace. This incorporates a kitchen/utility room, a cloakroom, three large cat suites and 15 standard suites that include heating, an outdoor area and CCTV so owners can watch their pets. Another impressive building houses ‘Kitty Kamp' with 20 well-appointed cat rooms, storage facilities and an isolation unit.

What the Owner says:

We have loved living here and running our businesses from home has been wonderful. We recently created the open plan family space and added solar panels. No expense was spared in building the stunning cattery which has become extremely successful. It would be perfect for someone who wants to run a cattery, or the outbuildings could be used for a different business, or converted into holiday lets.
While we enjoy idyllic countryside surroundings, we are close to Hamstreet with its primary school, surgery, eateries and local shops and not far from supermarkets, the McArthurGlen Designer Outlet, Ashford station where trains to St Pancras take 37 minutes and the M20. Ashford also features primary and secondary schools, grammar and private schools, shops, restaurants, salons, a bowling alley, cinema complex and sports clubs including Ashford golf club.
