One of those rare country cottages where all the character remains, yet everything has already been done for you. -- Greg Wood, Director

A pretty period farm cottage, fully renovated and extended, now offers comfortable accommodation complemented by delightful cottage-style gardens, ample parking, and fabulous views over neighbouring equestrian fields.
Situated in the rural parish of Bilsington, this former farmworker’s cottage is presented in superb condition. Surrounded by rolling countryside with a network of footpaths and woodland walks, it enjoys an especially peaceful setting while remaining just a 10-minute drive from the larger town of Ashford. Notable features include the vaulted entrance hall – a recent addition that also serves as a charming reception space, perfect for enjoying morning coffee. The sitting room, with its open fire, lies to the front, while the kitchen/diner with underfloor heating opens directly onto the rear garden. Upstairs, two double bedrooms are served by a generously sized bathroom benefiting a freestanding roll top bath and walk-in shower cubicle (formerly a third bedroom). Much of the cottage’s original character has been carefully retained and celebrated throughout, including exposed brickwork, original timber doors, and ironmongery. Outside, the gardens are a true delight. A colourful cottage-style garden flanks the long driveway, leading through to a more secluded rear garden with a covered alfresco entertaining area – the perfect spot for summer evenings. Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate this charming home.
Situation Bilsington is a charming hamlet, home to a cluster of historic houses and a traditional pub. It offers easy access to the bustling market town of Ashford, which boasts an International Railway Station with a high-speed service to London St Pancras in just 37 minutes. The larger village of Hamstreet lies about 3 miles away, providing a popular primary school, doctors’ surgery, village shops, and a railway station. Aldington is just 1.5 miles away, with a post office, general store, and a newly opened food store. The property is ideally positioned for country walks across the Bilsington Priory Estate, along the Royal Military Canal, or (within a short drive) on the sandy beaches of Dymchurch. The popular towns of Hythe, Tenterden, and Rye are also within easy reach.
