the very best rural position, yet is conveniently

situated near to outstanding amenities, with

exceptional access to both road and rail links,

Ebbsfleet International being only a short

drive away.

Built in the late 1800s, the two cottages were merged into one in the 1970s. It was the idyllic location, together with

its large parcel of land, which the present owners were seeking

and, despite the house requiring much love and care, they knew at

once it would be the perfect family home and moved to live here

thirteen years ago. Now a wonderful family home, full of character,

and which embraces all the requirements of modern day life. The

kitchen is a favoured space and features a large double sided

fireplace housing a double sided multifuel stove.

insight


A cottage style garden surrounds the house which, in turn, leads to a larger area of garden where friendly BBQs are held with plenty of space for games of football and rounders. There is a good sized pond which is a haven for wildlife and often has families of nesting ducks and moorhens. The summerhouse is

adjacent to the pond and offers a peaceful and quiet area in which to relax after busy days, and a time to enjoy the magical sunset. In addition the paddocks and stables have

enabled the family to conveniently care for their horses and enjoy watching them graze in their meadows.


The local village contains a well stocked community store and the primary school has been recently rated outstanding. There is an excellent choice of both

independent and state schools all within easy reach. Adjacent to the house is the Forestry Commission Jeskyns Park, which is a family favourite for horse riding, cycling and walking.
