Situation Ashdown Cottage is hidden from view from the approach along Stone Hill, tucked away at the top of a grassy drive used to approach just three or four properties. Stone Hill, is situated between the villages of Sellindge and Smeeth/Brabourne Lees, which are both served by comprehensive village stores, community halls, sports facilities, village inns and much sought after primary schools. The nearby A20 provides a swift route to major travel links such as mainline railway stations including Ashford International (Eurostar) with 37 minute High Speed trains to London St Pancras. The M20 motorway can be accessed at Junctions 10 or 11 which connect with the Port of Dover, Channel Tunnel and the M25 motorway network. There are a number of local golf courses, country leisure pursuits and bathing beaches along the coast and an excellent choice of retail outlets in the surrounding towns including branches of Waitrose at both Ashford and Hythe. There is a choice of excellent state and independent schools in the surrounding area including grammar schools for boys and girls, most of which can be accessed via the school bus network nearby. Ashdown Cottage A Grade II Listed 17th Century period cottage believed to have been formerly three cottages and converted historically to one dwelling. The accommodation is beautifully presented and features a significant amount of honey coloured exposed timbers and beams which create considerable character and interest throughout much of the accommodation. There are two fine inglenook fireplaces each with a Clearview wood burning stove and there are a number of very pretty windows. The interior also features delightful latch style doors and one or two very high pitched beamed ceilings such as within the kitchen and master bedroom. There are low voltage recessed ceiling lights which cleverly illuminate many of the spaces and timbers during the evening. The accommodation combines three principal reception rooms on the ground floor with a study and on the first floor three bedrooms (two en suite) with a fascinating landing having a striking array of exposed timbers and unusual curved walls. Gardens The property is approached from a pebble driveway with parking for a number of vehicles and wooden double gates. There is an adjacent brick log store and the pebble surface continues around to the rear of the property and divides with a pretty stone wall to form an upper terrace and seating area. Close by is a good size timber workshop with electric power connected and on the far side of the house there is a pretty lawn surrounded by shrubs and trees including an apple tree, clipped bay and a yew hedge. In one corner is a summerhouse and at the lower end of the garden there is a further patio with lily pond and nearby garden store. Services Mains water, electricity and drainage. Oil fired central heating. 3 exterior water taps. Directions From the M20 motorway leave at Junction 10 and follow signs to Sellindge/A20 passing the Tesco supermarket on the right hand side. After about 5 miles and upon reaching the church at Sellindge on the right hand side take the sharp turning left on the opposite side of the road (signposted Brabourne Lees) into Stone Hill. The road will drop initially and then start to climb. After approximately 400 yards you will enter an area with banks of shrubs and trees on either side of the road. The road ahead then bears to the right. The grassy lane leading to the property is on the right just before the start of the bend. Alternatively, continue into the bend and almost immediately turn left into the mouth of Coopers Lane and turn around in order to descend Stone Hill whereupon the approach will be seen almost immediately on the left hand side. Viewing Strictly by appointment only. If you would like to view this property please telephone our offices (Ref C1417)
