Blackwall Road North, Willesborough, Ashford, Kent, TN24

This is easily one of the most charming homes I have seen close to Ashford in recent times, with some exceptionally well preserved period features, -- Adam Howell, Senior Valuer & Head of Department

#TheGardenOfEngland

An immensely characterful home with a host of period features, front and rear gardens, and a very useful double garage building plus off-road parking. Conveniently situated in a quiet lane, with straightforward access to junction 10 of the M20 and several thriving local villages.

An outstanding example of a Grade II wooden framed, medieval Wealden Hall House with a vast range of architectural features including exposed oak structural beams throughout, hipped tiled roof, jetty walls, Kent peg tiling, external chimney breast and a modern yet in keeping oak framed extension providing a bright and welcoming entrance to the home.

The property has been updated significantly in recent years, bringing it up to date in terms of comfort and modern living convenience whilst preserving the structure for the centuries to come. The entire exterior of the property was renovated in recent years, with the cement based render replaced with lime plaster allowing the brickwork to breathe. At the same time, the chimney was rebuilt and lined, and the roof batons and Kent Peg tiles have also been overhauled where necessary.

The modern extension, is designed to mirror and compliment the original oak structure and is constructed using the same methods and materials, it features floor to ceiling double glazing allowing light to flood through and features a bespoke oak circular staircase leading to the first floor.

Oak floorboards, both newer and original continue throughout the house, the kitchen interconnects nicely with the dining room, and the cosy living room has a superb central feature fireplace exactly as you would hope to see in a home of this nature.

Two comfortable bedrooms and a bathroom occupy the first floor, with stairs to a further loft room currently used as a craft room but potentially suitable for use as a third bedroom if it is required.

The property has a private patio courtyard rear garden, ideal for outdoor dining or entertaining, and a larger front garden which stretches down to the road with further seating and lawned areas tucked behind a pretty front gate and fence. Immediately upon entering the driveway a very useful double garage/workshop is positioned to the right, with plenty of further parking space, again set behind a secure five bar gate.

Blackwall Road North is located on the perimeter of Ashford and enjoys the best of both - a short drive to the Tesco superstore and the M20 motorway. A short stroll from your front door is the surrounding countryside of the Hinxhill Estate providing excellent walks. The Julie Rose Athletics Stadium, Connigbrook Lake and a number of country pubs are also within a few minutes’ walk.
