Description
When we bought the property some eight years ago it was in a somewhat tired state and we have thoroughly enjoyed redesigning and refurbishing it from top to bottom. We love it here because it is quiet and peaceful and the countryside views are stunning, but we have decided to look for another project and hope that new owners will take pleasure in everything we have done to create a beautiful country residence, whether as a permanent home or a lovely weekend and holiday country retreat.
Although we live in the country we are not isolated as it is only half a mile to the quintessential village of Aldington where you will find a 12th century church and the Walnut Tree pub, a good primary school and a tennis club plus an excellent deli store and a post office. You can appreciate just how popular Aldington is from the number of celebrities who have called this village their home. These include Noel Coward and Bill Deedes as well as Paul O’Grady, Julian Clary and Vic Reeves while Noel Redding, who was bass player for the Jimmy Hendrix Experience, was a previous owner of our house.
If you carry on along our lane in the other direction you will come to the Evegate business park which includes a delightful café/deli, The Dog House micropub, a beauty salon and a variety of artisan shops including clothes and jewellery. The lane leads on to the A20 for access to the M20 for London and the Channel Tunnel as well as nearby Ashford where the high speed train from Ashford International can whisk you to London in 37 minutes. The town also includes restaurants, pubs, shops and supermarkets as well as the McArthurGlen Designer Outlet showcasing numerous well known clothing brand shops. With regard to education there are other primary schools in nearby villages as well as two good academies in the town and the independent Ashford School while grammar schools are available in Folkestone and Canterbury which is also where you will find first class independent schools.
