Caldecot Lane, Romney Marsh, Kent, TN29

At their first visit, a cheeky peek through the letterbox made the decision for the current owners; 'one glimpse of the staircase curving up was enough to know this was the home to have!'
We love the staircase and even more than that, we love the sound of corn buntings in the field, skylarks overhead, the whispering of the wheat as a gentle breeze touches it; seeing the tower of Lydd Church (the Cathedral of the Marsh) rising up in the distance, looking toward New Romney and seeing its church, St Nicholas; all these things make this such a special home, one that has kept a family here for several decades.
Romney Marsh is an iconic landscape, an area with wonderful history, stunning scenery and wildlife.
This home sits within a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and just four miles away is Dungeness Nature Reserve where an amazing array of birds can be found through the year, cuckoo, bitterns, Whinchats, Ring Ouzel and so many more.
Numerous things make this home special.
Set within 0.9 of an acre there are three access points from the lane. The main driveway brings you in front of the main house, two other gates provide access to the land and give you the opportunity to plan specific purposes to parts of your home.
Sheep graze the paddock currently. The owners have raised turkeys here in the past, there is a formal garden, a play area and a vegetable plot.
The Nissan Hut provides storage as do the former stables, used as a workshop and storage.
Walk the grounds and two things strike you; the opportunity that exists here and the beauty of the marsh.
For those who enjoy privacy, this home provides a rare experience, to step out and have no one next door is an amazing gift.
Activities, shops and clubs can be found in Lydd, New Romney, Camber, Rye, Hythe, Folkestone and Ashford. Nowhere is truly isolated and 'life' is easy to reach from here, amenities simple to access and plenty of fun to be had. Kite surfing is popular at Greatstone and the sandy beach is great for families. You can charter a flight to Le Touquet in France from nearby Lydd Airport. London is Little more than an hour away using the High-Speed link to St Pancras (38 minutes) from Ashford International Station (approx 22 minutes to drive).
There is a wide choice of primary schooling on Romney Marsh with secondary schooling in New Romney.
Inside the home there is space to spread out, flexibility to how you use the accommodation and each person will see something here, there will be things to change to suit you and, once you have personalised this home, you will have something very special that will keep you here for decades.
