Detached house for sale in Ash, Canterbury CT3

Are You Hunting For A Hidden Gem? This is the perfect chocolate box cottage in a picture postcard village. Inside it’s bursting with period charm. Outside has a wonderfully secluded ‘secret garden’.

The property

It’s tucked away at the end of a quiet no-through-road that’s less than 2 minutes walk down The Street to the centre of the historic village.

It’s full of character and ready for you to move in and make yourself at home. But the surprisingly spacious plot also gives you the chance to create a special blend of old and new (subject to planning permission, of course!).

The ground floor has an ever-so cosy lounge with a toasty log burner and French doors to the sun trap paved seating area.

There’s a further reception room - a dining room - next to the newly refurbished kitchen and a family bathroom.

Upstairs has two double bedrooms and a lovely view of the nearby Kent countryside.

Step outside

The secluded landscaped garden is a real highlight. It wraps around three sides of the cottage with a well maintained lawn and a wooden summerhouse where you can sit and enjoy the peaceful setting.

The large garden does give you plenty to think about if you were open to extending. There’s certainly space to add a balcony, conservatory, a garden room or a more permanent extension, subject to planning of course, which could transform the ground floor layout.

The village

Ash is a peaceful village despite being only 2 minutes from the A257.

The award winning Ash Village Hall plays a central role in village life, with a host of classes and activities for all ages.

There’s also the family-friendly Chequer Inn, a local convenience store and what must count as one of the most quirky Boots stores in the whole of the UK.

Being so close to the A257 means it’s only a short 10 minute drive to Sandwich.

It’s one of the best-preserved medieval towns in Britain, which hasn’t changed much at all since the Domesday Book. You’ll love its laid-back vibe and also the fantastic range of independent shops, pubs and restaurants.

Golfers

Keen golfers and armchair fans alike will know that Sandwich is also home to Royal St George’s. The course is ranked the number one links course in England and often plays host to the world famous Open Championship.

You can head 30 minutes west on the A257 to historic Canterbury. It’s one of the most beautiful historic cities in the country, home to a unesco World Heritage Site along with a host of cultural attractions and great shopping.

This charming cottage offers you a great opportunity to throw yourself into village life. It’s just-right as it is but does offer fantastic potential to make it even better if you had the vision and budget to extend.

i’m expecting plenty of interest so please call to arrange a viewing.
