The Willows is situated in a convenient location in the little known Parish of Snave towards the northern edge of Romney Marsh about 2 miles south of Hamstreet. There is easy access from there to Ashford and the M20 motorway to the north, Rye to the south and Tenterden to the west. New Romney, Dymchurch and Hythe are also within easy reach. Hamstreet has the benefit of local shops, a primary school and railway station with trains to Ashford or to Rye, Hastings and Brighton. There are high speed HS1 trains from Ashford to Ebbsfleet, Stratford International and St Pancras International.
The property is next to St Augustine’s Church which is understood to only be used on a limited number of occasions throughout the year.

The house was built in about 2007/2008 following grant of planning permission to replace the previous dwelling. The house and garage were built in a barn style to fit in with the surrounding rural landscape and now make for an impressive rural property. The house provides good size accommodation which now requires some minor redecoration with 3 double bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor and a spacious living room, open plan entrance hall & dining area, kitchen/breakfast room and utility room on the ground floor. The majority of the windows and doors have very recently been replaced with very good quality ‘Britelite’ doors and windows with just 3 windows left to do.

Garage & Annexe

This has been built to match the house and is a substantial building comprising a 4 bay garage, 2 of which are open bays for easy car parking and one is enclosed with double doors. The 4th bay is enclosed as a workshop/storeroom and provides access via an internal staircase to the first floor annexe flat.

This has an open plan room with kitchen and living area together with a double bedroom and bathroom. Interested parties may wish to replace the existing kitchen with new units.

Garden

The garden lies to the rear of the house with a brick paved terrace accessed off the dining area through the bi-fold doors. This looks out over a large mainly lawned garden which is enclosed by mature laurel hedging and is planted with a number of small trees and shrubs. In the corner of the garden is a pizza oven and a smaller brick terrace.

Outside

The property is approached through close board gates leading to a stone drive with a turning circle giving access to the house, garage and annexe. The front of the house is nicely enclosed by fencing and mature hedgerow boundaries making it nice and private.

Land/Pond

The land lies to the rear of the house and garden and comprises one larger grazing field which could be divided into smaller grazing paddocks, a smaller turn out paddock and a separate area with an attractive ‘lined’ pond which is stocked with a large number of coarse fish including Common Carp, Mirror Carp, Ghost Koi, Tench, Roach and Bream. Next to the pond is a container unit with a small barn structure.

Footpaths

There is a footpath (Footpath Number HM66) that crosses the large paddock behind the garden boundary, there is little physical evidence that this is walked very often. For further details visit:
