Property description

'this property’ is an impressive Tudor style detached house set well back from Kingsford Street, a leafy country lane on the outskirts Mersham village. The gated entrance in the hedgerow leads to a sweeping driveway, skirting a wide expanse of lawn set amidst majestic specimen trees and culminating at a generous parking area adjacent to a double garage.

Extending to just over an acre, the mature gardens with a quintessentially English tennis court, are a particularly fine feature and provide a befitting setting for this character home. Once inside one is reminded of the grandeur of country homes and the architecture of the 1940’s era, a magnificent dog leg staircase, leaded windows and a homely working fireplace. The rooms are all generously proportioned, have high ceilings and in many cases light and airy double aspects. Most of the principle rooms enjoy a south west facing aspect at the back of the house, however the outlook from all rooms command a view across well established, secluded gardens irrespective of whether they are positioned at the front or rear of the house.

This is a home that has seen improvements to the levels of comfort over the years, each of the windows have been double glazed and there is an oil fired central heating system. The kitchen has a comprehensive range of hardwood cupboards, granite working surfaces and an integrated oven and hob. Similarly one of the bathrooms has been lavishly updated in marble and bedrooms equipped with built in and fitted wardrobes. As with many properties there is scope for further improvement and this property is no exception. The new owners will have pretty much a blank canvas as far as creating their ideal home and continuing the work already carried out by the present owners.

What the Owner says:

“There is so much to like about this property, we came here 7 years ago to escape the hustle and bustle of living near London and still really appreciate the privacy the gardens provide. Once through the entrance gates it is as if we are in a world of our own. The garden is terrific, a haven for wildlife, great for barbeques and challenging family and friends to a few sets on the tennis court. The garden backs onto farmland so it feels quite rural and yet we are spoilt for choice for excellent local amenities. Being just 3 miles from Ashford town centre we have brilliant high street shopping and we are never at a loss for varied entertainment whether it’s an evening out at cinema, a meal in a multitude of restaurants or a pub lunch in one of several local village inns. By the same token we can drive down to the coast for a day out by the sea at Folkestone or Hythe in minutes, it’s literally a 10 mile journey.
The convenience of the location is second to none, the nearest junction to the M20 is less than ½ a mile away and the high speed rail service from Ashford International Station whisks you into London in 37 minutes or Paris in less than 2 hours. Travelling by car on the continent couldn’t be easier either as the Eurostar terminal near Folkestone is only 12 miles away.
We will always have fond memories of our years here but the time has come, for our children’s benefit to move closer to their work and let another family experience the joys of living here.”
