Situation
The house is located in the heart of Lydd, just a stone’s throw from the historic church, and only a short distance from the vibrant town square in this charming Cinque Port town. If approaching from Ashford, the property sits conveniently near the main square, where the array of shops, pubs, cafés, and doctors’ surgery are within easy reach. The picturesque market town of Rye is just a short bus ride or drive away, offering a delightful mix of medieval cobbled streets, historic inns, antique shops, and art galleries. The stunning Dungeness, with its dramatic landscape and unique views of Dungeness Power Station, is only 3.5 miles away, boasting one of Europe’s largest expanses of shingle beach. For those with a passion for wildlife, the RSPB nature reserve at Dungeness offers an exceptional haven for birdwatching. Camber is also a short drive away with miles of beautiful sandy beaches including dunes.

Description
Formerly a thriving guest house, Chatswood Lodge has undergone a number of alterations over the years, resulting in a highly adaptable and spacious family home, whilst retaining much of its original charm and character. Highlights of this delightful property include the wood-panelled walls in the elegant dining room, a light-filled and spacious conservatory providing superb views over the surrounding garden, and generously sized rooms throughout, all bathed in natural light. The kitchen, recently updated in recent years, is located to the rear of the property and leads through to a practical utility room with access to the garden. The house benefits from recent redecoration throughout.
Upstairs, the largest of the bedrooms benefits from a well-appointed en-suite, which was once a fifth bedroom. Three of the remaining bedrooms are dual aspect, ensuring an abundance of natural light in each.

Outside
The former garage has been thoughtfully converted into a versatile studio, offering approximately 300 sq ft of space, complete with a fitted shower room and toilet. The beautifully maintained garden surrounds the property, offering an enchanting mix of established shrubs, plants, and trees, ensuring both seclusion and privacy from neighbouring properties. A generous area of lawn provides the perfect space for outdoor relaxation. To the rear of the kitchen, there is a sizeable patio area, ideal for al fresco dining, with ample room for garden furniture. The property also features a large shingle driveway providing off-street parking for several vehicles, with access from the road at the front of the grounds.
