The Cinque Ports town of Tenterden lies to the south and offers a good range of facilities including primary and secondary schools, supermarkets, multiple shops, a doctor’s surgery and popular leisure centre.

The M20 is accessible at Junction 8 to the north via Sutton Valence & and Leeds villages.

The property once formed part of Lime Kiln Farm and was converted in the early 2000s into an attractive dwelling which offers bright and stylish accommodation.

The main living area on the ground floor is open plan and provides a spacious living and family area along with a kitchen and breakfast area. An orangery cleverly links this part of the building to the sitting room, utility room and shower room.

On the first floor is a main bedroom with en-suite shower room, 2 further bedrooms and a family bathroom. An open staircase leads to 2 hobby/office rooms on the 2nd floor.

Gardens

The gardens to the rear and side of the property are mainly laid to lawn. Along the eastern side of the property is a railed decking area overlooking a natural spring fed pond, gardens and the land beyond, with far reaching countryside views. The decking also links the main part of the garden with a paved terrace area to the south. The property and garden area totals about 0.80 acre.

Outbuildings & Outside

The property is approached over a shared private driveway with a 5-bar automated gate providing access to the property and grounds. A track off the first part of the driveway provides access to the 2 fields beyond the garden.

To the right is a large Dutch Barn about 44’ x 23’6 overall which is divided into 3 bays with 2 open fronted bays and 1 enclosed bay.
