If ever there were a property with genuine potential for improvement, this is it. - Greg Wood, Director

#TheGardenOfEngland

An exciting opportunity to acquire a detached property arranged as a cluster of three homes, benefitting from a several barns, a generous driveway, private and communal gardens and approximately 1.25 acres of amenity land, including a pond and tennis court.

No onward chain.


Description
The property is situated between the villages of Ruckinge and Bilsington, set back from Ruckinge Road in a semi-rural position.
The main dwelling is currently configured as a cluster house comprising three individual residential units, each with private garden areas. The ‘Hereford’, ‘Jersey’ and ‘Highland’ have previously been consented as Holiday Lets but are now categorised as residential homes. These have been let to long term tenants, with two currently occupied (vacant possession will be granted on completion).
There is ample parking provision for all dwellings, and historically each property has enjoyed access to one of the large timber ‘store/workshop’ (ash shown in our floor plan) outbuildings located along the northern boundary. A larger garden area is retained for communal use.
To the south of the main house stands a substantial barn, currently in poor repair, though offering strong precedent for replacement or improvement, subject to the necessary consents.
Across the neighbouring driveway lies a further parcel of land, which has been poorly maintained in recent years but includes a pond at the far end and a functional tennis court that is enclosed with a chain-link fence. This area presents significant potential for enhancement.
Location
The villages of Ruckinge and Bilsington are attractive rural settlements located a short distance from Ashford, positioned along the historic Saxon Shore Line and close to the Romney flats and the Royal Military Canal. Further along Ruckinge Road lies the village of Hamstreet, offering a railway station, doctor’s surgery, and a range of schooling options. The town of Ashford is approximately a 10–15 minute drive, providing extensive shopping, leisure, and transport facilities including high speed rail services to London and the M20 passing through Kent.
Agent’s Notes
• The driveway to the house and buildings is owned by the property from the public highway. The first section, hatched red on the plan, provides rights of way to neighbouring properties and their associated garages and outbuildings.
• A gate on the northern boundary of the main garden, marked on the plan in brown, provides pedestrian access to the additional land and tennis court. It is understood that this is the only access point, and vehicular access is not permitted from Ruckinge Road.
• Due to the complex nature of the property, including its current configuration and multiple dwellings, we anticipate that standard residential mortgage finance may be difficult to obtain. Interested parties are therefore encouraged to make detailed financial enquiries prior to viewing, or to consider purchase with cash funds.
