A beautifully presented country home enjoying an idyllic Romney Marsh setting, surrounded by miles of open countryside yet conveniently positioned just over a mile from the historic town of Lydd.

Occupying a wonderfully peaceful position amidst the vast landscapes of Romney Marsh, Hawthorn Cottage is an immaculately maintained home that has been thoughtfully improved by the current owners. Combining character, practicality and a strong connection to its rural surroundings, the property offers an enviable lifestyle within one of Kent's most distinctive landscapes.
As the photographs demonstrate, the house has been tastefully decorated throughout and is presented to an exceptional standard. The accommodation has been carefully arranged with everyday living in mind. The kitchen overlooks the rear garden, while the sitting room and dining room are linked by a doorway creating an excellent flow for both family life and entertaining, with bifold doors in the dining room leading out to the rear terrace.A recently installed double-sided multi-fuel stove provides an attractive focal point to both rooms, adding warmth and character throughout the colder months.
To the front of the property is a bright, double-aspect study, ideal for those working from home. Upstairs are three well-proportioned bedrooms served by a modern family bathroom, whilst the ground floor benefits from a separate shower room and WC, adding further practicality.
Outside, delightful cottage-style gardens wrap around three sides of the house, extending to c 0.25a, and are thoughtfully landscaped with winding pathways, colourful herbaceous borders, established planting and several seating areas from which to enjoy the peaceful surroundings. A private driveway provides off-road parking for up to 5 cars, whilst a garage, large external store and outside WC offer excellent additional storage.
The current owners have invested considerably in the upkeep of the property in recent years, including repointing sections of the brickwork, chimney and lead flashings, together with the installation of cavity wall and additional loft insulation, ensuring the house is both well maintained and energy efficient.
