Newchurch, Romney Marsh, Kent, TN29

A fascinating and characterful home, enjoying a particularly attractive setting within the village. -- Greg Wood, Director

#TheGardenOfEngland

An exceptional detached period home, believed to date from 1838 and formerly serving as the village school and later the Village Hall, occupying a particularly private setting within this highly regarded village.

The property is offered to the market with no onward chain.


Constructed with attractive ragstone elevations beneath a traditional Kent peg tiled roof, the property has been sympathetically converted and carefully improved to create a characterful and versatile family home of considerable charm.
The house is approached via a secluded position set well back from the lane and enjoys delightful views towards the historic 13th century Church of St Peter and St Paul, together with the adjoining recreation ground. The property provides direct access to the playing field alongside it, ideal for walking and outdoor recreation.
The accommodation is both well proportioned and thoughtfully arranged, centred around an impressive open plan kitchen and dining room positioned to the front of the house. Rich in character, this inviting space features exposed timbers, herringbone oak flooring and a wood burning stove, with attractive views across the front garden and neighbouring green spaces. A useful utility room provides additional practicality with direct external access.
The principal reception room is of generous proportions and similarly benefits from a wood burning stove together with French doors opening into a comfortable conservatory overlooking the gardens.
To the first floor are three substantial double bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with an extensive range of fitted wardrobes. The accommodation is served by a well appointed family bathroom, whilst the second bedroom enjoys the benefit of an en suite shower room. A versatile ground floor study offers potential for use as an occasional fourth bedroom and is served by its own adjoining shower room.
Outside, the gardens have been designed for ease of maintenance, being predominantly laid to lawn with a generous terrace adjoining the rear of the house and a substantial brick and timber pergola providing an attractive focal point. The grounds are enclosed in part by traditional walling and mature hedging, affording a good degree of privacy.
To the front of the property stands an impressive detached garage and workshop extending to approximately 7 metres in width, together with ample private parking. Beyond, a magnificent mature oak tree forms an attractive backdrop to the setting.
