#TheGardenOfEngland

An enchanting 17th c cottage with oodles of character including exposed beams and inglenook fireplace, offering deceptively spacious accommodation extending to 1729 Sq Ft including a garage, driveway and private garden.

Set in a delightful village just a few miles to the south of Ashford and within reach of lovely country walks along the Royal Military Canal.


The Property
A grade II listed cottage, well maintained and improved in recent years, now offering stylish accommodation arranged over three floors. Some of the key features include the vaulted ceilings in various rooms, a modern fitted kitchen and of course, the exposed timbers, floorboards and inglenook that really convey the heritage of the home so well.
Outside, a shingled driveway with parking for two cars leads to an integral garage. The rear garden is divided into two parts. The larger lawned section offers two decked terraces and access to a summerhouse with the other smaller part is currently home to a table and chairs over a brick patio, with a sweet well.
Viewing really is a must to appreciate.

Situation
Knights Cottage occupies a central position in the heart of this pretty Hamlet with its cluster of historic houses and pub. There is easy access to the bustling market town of Ashford with its International Railway Station and high-speed train service to London St Pancras (37 minutes). The larger village of Hamstreet with its popular primary school, doctors surgery, village shops and railway station is about 3 miles away. Aldington village is only 1.5 miles away with Post Office, general store and new food store. The property is well placed to enjoy a host of country walks through the nearby, Bilsington Priory Estate or along the Royal Military canal or even along the coastal sandy beaches at Dymchurch. The popular towns of Hythe, Tenterden and Rye are all accessible from Bilsington.
