This beautiful period home, which is set within 12 acres of sprawling grounds, is situated on the fringes of the village of Ash in

Kent. “We purchased the house in 2008,” says

Caroline, “and although the previous owner had

done bits and pieces to improve it, it was in quite

a sorry state, so we decided to strip it right back,

start again and bring it back to its former glory.”

vendor


“We did everything,” says Andy. “We updated the plumbing and the electrics, put in new bathrooms and a lovely new kitchen, the list goes on.” “Even the

conservatory was in a state of disrepair,” says Caroline, “in fact it

began to fall down, and so we demolished it and built a lovely new

family room with an additional bedroom upstairs. The house is

now looking really lovely.” “We’ve tried to keep the old part of the

house quite traditional,” continues Caroline, “so we have a large

lounge, what we call the ‘library’ and a lovely dining room, and

then in contrast to those rooms we have a really nice, open-plan

kitchen and family area. It has beautiful walnut units and a couple

of settees next to the open fire, and it also has four sets of French

doors that look out over the most incredible views. It’s the heart of

our home and a really great family space.”

“We also added an indoor swimming pool,” says Andy, “which is newly

finished and a great facility to have in your own home, particularly when it’s cold

and wet outside but the children need somewhere to run off some energy.”


“We have 12 acres of land,” says Caroline, “about an acre of which is garden. It’s mainly laid to lawn with a couple of nice patio areas, so there are plenty of spaces to sit and relax.” “The rest has

been divided into fields,” adds Andy, “one of which is used by our son for football matches. It’s lovely because we can have a whole crowd of children here and they can be off for hours playing in the garden

or the fields.” “And that’s when the boot room comes in handy,” adds Caroline, “because the muck and dirt doesn’t need to come any further.”


“The location of the house has been perfect for us,”

says Caroline. “New Ash Green, which is only minutes away, has a

really good selection of shops and amenities, and I often head into

Bluewater which is only around a quarter of an hour away.” “There

is a much larger selection of shops in Sevenoaks and Dartford and

Sevenoaks has many restaurants to choose from”. “I think what I’ll

miss most about living here is the fact that it’s so peaceful,” says

Caroline, “and the views are spectacular. It’s lovely to sit and look

out over the fields and watch the surroundings change throughout

the year. It’s just lovely.”
