Detached house for sale in Bromley Green Road, Ruckinge, Ashford TN26

Bromley Green Road, Ruckinge

Property Description: Located in the sought after village of Ruckinge, this property, that includes an attached self contained annex, comes to the market well presented with its flexible accommodation laid out over 3021 square feet.

The house is set within five and a half acres and includes equestrian facilities such as; stables, a tack room, a hay store and an enclosed paddock.

There is huge potential within the grounds. Subject to planning, there are a variety of options such as; the installation of a summer house or garden lodge, opportunities or further conversions and the chance for someone to grow a small holding business with livestock. The existing stables and storage are an asset to this property but if the new owners desired, there would be potential to convert these to additional accommodation for a dependent relative or a guest house with income potential. It's worth noting that as the property comes with an existing self contained annexe, there may be a saving to be had on the stamp duty.

Through the beautifully tiled entrance hall in the main house is the kitchen that has been well fitted with plenty of wall and base units for storage. There are integrated appliances that include two fridges, two freezers and a built in extractor hood that is fitted above the space for a freestanding cooker.

Adjacent to the kitchen are the living and dining rooms. These two rooms can be laid out according to your preference. The current owners use the room with the French doors as their living room so they can sit and enjoy the garden views whilst relaxing. Both of these reception rooms are neutrally decorated and beautifully lit from said French doors.

Also to be found on the ground floor, are two of the double bedrooms, one of which has an en-suite cloakroom. Completing the main accommodation on this floor is the modern family shower room which is fully tiled and has a large walk in shower and a white suite.
