In terms of location alone, this beautiful home, formerly the village vicarage, offers the best of both worlds. While it is located in a quiet location that few people would even know about just a short walk from the heart of the village, it is also conveniently only 3 and 9 miles respectively from the towns of Tenterden and Ashford, both of which benefit from good schools, amenities and transport links.
The house itself, which has been a much loved family home for the past 40 years, has a lovely established, warm feel and the accommodation is not only extremely generous, but also very practical and flexible. In addition, the generous plot size, thought to extend to circa 0.61 of an acre (tbc), would allow for further extension if desired, subject of course to the necessary permissions. The property also boasts a sweeping gravel driveway providing extensive off-street parking, an attached integral garage and large, mature, mostly south facing gardens which encircle the house and provide a haven for children, pets, gardeners and nature lovers alike.
