Freistehendes Haus Mit 4 Schlafzimmern Zum Verkauf In Ashford

What the owner says: ”We have loved living in this adorable cottage for the past 28 years and having the opportunity to modernise the property and develop such a special garden and to enjoy the abundant wildlife. It is wonderful to be living in the countryside but, at the same time, as it is easily accessible to the A20 and Ashford station with the high speed train, it means that a daily commute to Canary Wharf takes just an hour door-to-door.

The other great thing about the location is that, on the one hand there are delightful places to go for country walks, but it is also central for access to Hythe, Folkestone, the Channel Tunnel for the Continent and Canterbury as well as Ashford.  Sellindge has expanded over the years and now includes a very active sports and social club with tennis, bowls and football as well as a social clubhouse. There are two convenience stores and a popular cafe, Potten Farm shop and other local businesses, together with a food and craft market in the spacious village hall. There is a surgery with pharmacy and a primary school rated Outstanding by Ofsted.  In the village is The Duke’s Head pub and restaurant and there are several excellent eateries nearby including the Black Horse in Monks Horton, The Drum at Stanford and the Tiger Inn at Stowting.

It is straight down Stone Street to the Roundwood Hall Golf Club and on to Canterbury with its historic buildings, high street stores and independent shops, restaurants, theatres and first class grammar and private schools. Hythe is just a few miles away with its charming shops, pavement cafes, beach, golf club and sports facilities and Folkestone features the Creative Quarter, the Harbour Arms as well as The Leas Cliff Hall and two first class grammar schools.

We have enjoyed developing the garden over the last 28 years, benefitting from the acidic soils of the Greensand Belt in parts of the garden and the alkaline soils of the North Downs in other areas. 

As a result the garden now contains a number of plant collections including over 250 Rhododendrons and Azaleas along with the many mature trees and shrubs throughout the garden including a variety of productive fruit trees in the orchard as well as in the large productive kitchen garden. Spring is a favourite time in the garden for us with over a 100 varieties of narcissus amongst the tens of thousands of spring bulbs that extend from the swathes of snowdrops through to the bluebells in the woodland garden areas onto the alliums dotted amongst the flower borders.

We garden to be wildlife friendly and it’s home to abundant birdlife which is a joy to see and hear”
