Cottage for sale in Church Road, Sevington, Ashford TN24

Ashdown Cottage is a charming grade II listed semi-detached cottage built from Kentish ragstone with tile hung upper elevations, in addition there is a detached period timber barn with tiled roof and further useful outbuildings are standing in a plot of around 0.2 acre.
The cottage has been in the same ownership since 1960 and it is believed that the property dates back to the early 1800's, however, the cottage has the feel of an even earlier period as it is though that the wealth of beams and wide floorboards are most likely to be from old ship timbers.
Inside there is a cosy sitting room with inglenook fireplace housing a wood burner, quarry tiled floor and open timbers to the kitchen/diner which has an original brick floor and leads to a utility and shower room (the toilet is outside). The stairs open straight into a characterful double bedroom with beautiful floorboards and leads to two further bedrooms, one with a vaulted beamed ceiling.
A great feature of this property is its outdoor space and outbuildings, a driveway leads to a detached corrugated iron garage to side. Then the rear garden opens up to a wonderful haven of lawns and shaped shrubbery borders, mature trees and arbours.
The old barn is glorious with its veranda including etched glass from an old Ashford jewellers then the lovely character inside, but with the practicality of being able to use the space for home working, hobby room or gym etc. There is a further workshop, potting shed, store, and the WC, together with a pond and an old water pump.
The property needs updating now but would be well worth the effort and is offered with no chain!
