Newlands Stud, Newlands Road, Charing

Property Description: Guide Price £700,000 - £750,000. This back to back attached home is just one of nine properties located in the hamlet of Newlands Stud. Newly converted by the current owners in March 2022, situated on approximately an acre of meadow within a peaceful rural setting on the edge of protected woodland, just outside of Charing. Absolutely perfect for anyone looking for that peaceful setting amongst Kent's finest countryside.

This property was once a ragstone barn that belonged to the adjacent property. The owners have converted the barn into this stunning home to exceptional standards and have thoughtfully installed certain features for comfort, ease and longevity. These features include; underfloor heating to the open plan living space, boot room and cloakroom, lvt flooring to the living space, heavily insulated floors, walls and ceilings - making the property inexpensive to heat, new electrics, new plumbing, new boiler, new oil tank, new treatment plant with a filtration system and a 13KW Bronpi wood burner with a built in oven. The current owners have had considerable work done to the roof that includes a brand new roof structure with the reuse of the original Kent Peg tiles to be in keeping with the area and the addition of three layers of top of the range Torch-On felting to the flat roof.

Entrance via the convenient boot room which also has access to the cloakroom. This space is extremely handy for those that enjoy a country walk, the perfect space to kick off those muddy boots before walking into your beautiful home.

The open plan living space is astoundingly spacious and has beautiful high ceilings and Velux windows. The owners made the decision to keep some of the original stone exposed and in keeping with this theme have kept the steel works exposed too, adding to the height of the room. This area is incredibly flexible and has plenty of room for dining, cooking, relaxing and entertaining. The kitchen area includes a Belling induction range cooker with a steel splashback and an extractor hood fitted above plus the dishwasher will also remain. The freestanding island/breakfast bar is included and has the flexibility to be moved, should the new owners require. There is a walk-in pantry for storage and ample space for an American fridge freezer. Above the sink, is a wide horizontal window that shows a stunning panoramic view of the surrounding woodlands.

From the open plan space, there is an oak staircase that leads up to the mezzanine floor. This room has a built in king-size bedframe that looks out over the hamlet. There is ample built in storage and a study space, perfect for those that work from home. There is extra storage built into the eaves and Velux windows letting in plenty of natural light.

Underneath the mezzanine there are two further double bedrooms. The principal suite is bright and has a large en-suite bathroom that has a traditional high level WC, a bidet and a freestanding round tub. The absolute luxury of this suite is that there are French doors leading out to your own private, enclosed garden with a sheltered seating area and some bright flower beds. The family shower room has a modern feel to it yet maintains the original charm with some painted original ragstone walls - another room with a high ceiling and a Velux window. There is a fully tiled walk-in shower with a seating ledge, another high level WC, hand basin and a heated towel rail. Just outside of the shower room is the laundry cupboard that houses both the washing machine (which will remain) and the tumble dryer.

There are two attached outbuildings. Planning permission has been granted for the installation of French doors for one of the rooms, which the owners are currently using as an internal log store. The sheltered area adjacent to this is open fronted and would be the perfect indoor/outdoor space for an alfresco kitchen. Alternatively, it could be transformed into a car barn, a workshop or developed further into a self contained annexe for multigenerational living, subject to the usual consents. With the required permissions, there could also be an income generating opportunity to run a glamping business from within the grounds with your guests enjoying the seclusion that this property has to offer.

This property if offered for sale with no onward chain.

Outside: The approach to the property is just wonderful, with Newlands Stud having a delightful array of grade II listed farmhouses and cottages. The gated entrance for this property is slightly further along from the main access into Newlands Stud and has an area of underground hardstanding with grass reinforcing mesh, providing parking for several vehicles. There is approximately one acre of land and areas for all to enjoy, including the wildlife. In the centre of the grounds, is a substantial timber outbuilding. Subject to planning, this building could be converted into a wonderful modern summerhouse or garden office. Throughout the grounds there are an abundance of mature trees and areas that have been deliberately kept wild to act as a wildlife garden. With a meadow feel to it, the garden has a very relaxing nature and sits adjacent to the protected woodland. The garden is fully enclosed and has the utmost privacy whilst still maintaining the stunning countryside views. There is a secure workshop, two open fronted garden sheds for storage, some raised beds within an allotment area and a greenhouse for those who wish to grow their own plus an external open fronted storage area. As previously mentioned, there is an additional garden area that serves the principal suite. These beautiful grounds are south facing and capture the sunshine for the whole day.

Location: Charing, a small but lively village in the Ashford District of Kent, situated at the foot of the North Downs. The village is sited on the Pilgrims' Way from London to Canterbury and is still surrounded by farmland, but the good transport links have also led to the area becoming a popular commuter village for people employed in London. Charing station has connecting services to London St Pancras via Ashford International or London Victoria station in approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes. The village has a strong community life and the locals organise regular fairs, community and charity events. On the High Street and surrounding streets you will find a wide variety of shops, restaurants and services. Charing Church of England Primary School is just over half a mile away. Its most famous building is the Archbishop's Palace, which lies by the church and was an ancient possession of the Archbishop of Canterbury.
