This is one of my favourite local locations, the whole property oozes rustic charm - James Hickman, Equestrian & Rural Property

#TheGardenOfEngland

A rural property with equestrian facilities and a busy holiday let.

The property is located in a highly desirable location within the Bonnington & Aldington areas and comprises a charming Grade 2 listed partly thatched cottage set in good size gardens with a range of 3 stables, a workshop and 3 paddocks.

Freehold – Band G Council Tax

About 3.60 acres


Thatched Cottage

This Grade 2 listed cottage comprises the original thatched cottage together with a substantial extension which almost doubled the size of the original property. The property now provides relatively spacious accommodation arranged on 2 floors with 2 separate staircases each giving access to 2 bedrooms. On the ground the accommodation is centred around a kitchen/breakfast room with oil fired Rayburn opening to a dining room and with a good size sitting room at either end of the house.

Thatching

Thatching is generally renewed on an approximate 25 year cycle dependant on the thatching used.

Gardens/Outside

There are mainly lawned gardens on 3 sides of the cottage with a spacious paved and brick terrace on the south side of the house which provides ample space for outside dining and relaxing. The is a former brick and ragstone outhouse, there are planted borders and a number of attractive trees including a monkey puzzle.

Beyond the main garden is a separate vegetable garden with a polytunnel, apple trees and a single cherry tree.

Tiled Cottage

This a is a good looking and well built building which was originally constructed as a home office and playroom in 2014/2015 and then had its use changed to a holiday cottage (planning reference 18/00097/AS) at the end of 2018. The building is located close to the entrance away from the cottage, next to the Stable Yard & Workshop, the cottage has recently been successfully let to holidays guests since planning permission was granted.

Stable Yard/Workshop

This comprises 3 Stables and a former tack/feed room. To the front of the stables is a concrete yard area whilst to the side is a Workshop about 29 feet x 11 feet.

Land

The land lies to the south of the property and is accessed from the stable yard and garden areas. It is divided into 3 level paddocks which front onto Cherry Orchard Lane, 2 of the paddocks share a field shelter and there are some young trees planted in tow of the paddocks including silver birch.
