The property is conveniently located between the villages of Mersham, Kingsnorth, Bilsington & Aldington to the south east of Ashford with easy access to both the M20 and Ashford Station. High Speed trains run regularly from Ashford to Stratford International and St Pancras International with journey times from 28 mins & 37 mins respectively.

The Cottage
The cottage is believed to date to the early 1700 s but is unlisted. The sellers moved to the property in the late 1990 s and extended and modernised the property soon after to create an attractive cottage that provides modern living without losing its period charm.

Annexe
This was formerly a double garage and was converted for the sellers father. It provides valuable additional accommodation on 2 floors and is accessed from the rear garden.
Planning consent for an annexe extension was granted in 2018 19 under ref 18 00394 AS. Unfortunately, this has now lapsed but it is hoped that consent will be granted again if a new application is submitted.

Outside Gardens
The gardens are to the side and rear being mainly laid to lawn with mature hedging surrounding. To the rear of the garden within a fenced off area is a Garden Studio with full services and drainage connected.

To the side of the cottage is a large in out gravel entrance drive with parking for several vehicles and access to the stable yard.

Stable Yard
This is accessed off the main entrance drive via a pair of entrance gates and comprises
1 Stable Yard Hay Barn, comprising 3 standard stables and a hay barn. The stables have water drinkers and rubber matting.
