Having garage envy is not a commonly used phrase, but it's definitely the case here. -- Greg Wood, Director #TheGardenOfEngland A unique detached Potton Home located on the edge of Kennington with four bedrooms and three reception rooms set in a generous plot with vehicular access to the front and rear boasting a traditional oak framed garage and brick built double garage. With an eclectic variety of properties on the road, mostly detached and almost all with generous and relatively private plots, this part of Canterbury Road in Kennington has long proven highly sought after. Being on the outskirts of the town, there are fantastic links to public footpaths and walks in the countryside towards the villages of Boughton Lees and Wye. For those who like a Sunday roast or perhaps finer dining, there are three popular pubs within a few minutes walk. The recently refurbished 'Stubbs' is becoming a go to destination in Ashford and the Conning Brook and The Old Mill are often packed to the rafters. Further along the road, the Conningbrook Lake and Julie Rose athletics stadium and Ashford Hockey Club provide superb outdoor recreations and fitness facilities. The Canterbury Road provides excellent links in both directions, Canterbury one way and then the M20, leading to Folkestone or London, the other. The Ashford Station, with HS1 links to London in 37 minutes, is within a 2.5 mile drive.The HouseFor over 50 years Potton Homes have designed and built high quality self-build homes aroundthe country. Their construction is often identifiable by the visible timber frame on display throughout the houses and this home is no exception. Built by the current owners in 1988, this house is very tradition in design, with Tudor influences in the aesthetics and also enjoys a generous plot with good frontage. The construction method blends decorative brickwork detailing and chunky timbers to givea sturdy and architecturally pleasing home. A feature that is particularly impressive is the triple aspect living room with a large inglenook fireplace. The entrance hall and dining room also boast covered storm porches outside for added convenience. The house itself has been well maintained over the years displays bespoke solid wood doors throughout, a bespoke oak fronted kitchen with integrated appliances and all four bedrooms enjoying wardrobes (of varying sizes). OutsideAs the photos show, the gardens and grounds are especially well kept, with neatly trimmed and clipped shrubs, a smart lawned araea and patios and paths. In the rear garden there is a shed, greenhouse and attractive summer house. To the front, the block paved driveway leads up from Canterbury Road and into the double width traditional oak framed garage. Behind the house there is a further brick built double garage with electric door. This is accessed from Tritton Fields and the driveway has parking for several cars. We suspect that this garage has potential for conversion into habitable accommodation, but professional advice should be sought and planning approval would need to be obtained.

Situated in a convenient position on the outskirts of Ashford is 'The Coach House'; a well maintained and substantial home, offering a generous 2800sqft of internal space, with potential for further development, extension or the addition of an Annex (stpp). In its current form, the house enjoys accommodation spanning two floors, and has been extended over the years. A main entrance hallway leads to the kitchen and dining room and one staircase rises to the first floor. The conservatory adjoins the kitchen, which has been modernised in recent years and offers a wealth of cupboards, work surfaces and integrated appliances. The dining room leads from the hallway, and beyond this is the main living room. Access to the outside can be gained from within the conservatory or living room. A second stair case rises from the living room to one of the bedrooms.(We believe there is potential for the living room and bedroom above to become self-contained for multi generational living or supported living should this be desired).The first floor is accessed via two separate staircases (not inter-linking). From the entrance hallway, the stairs rise to a central landing which gives access to the three of the bedrooms and family bathroom. The larger of the three bedrooms enjoys a loft ceiling with exposed beams and en-suite bathroom comprising a four-piece suite. Both of the other bedrooms are roughly equal in size and would comfortably accommodate double beds.From the staircase in the living room, access is granted to the final bedroom, currently used as the main bedroom, which also benefits from an en-suite shower room. There is also access from here onto the balcony, which over looks the garden and offers a lovely spot to enjoy breakfast on a sunny morning.Outside, the garden encompasses the home and have matured over the years, featuring numerous trees, some fruiting, shrubs and large areas of lawn. There is also a brick-built pond, garden shed, log store and plenty of parking within the gravel driveway. To one side is the garage, larger than most with good working height, and an adjoining workshop. There is an attic room above the garage and workshop, which in our opinion, could be converted to create a self-contained Annex or work space/home office. The driveway which extends along the side of the house and gives access to the garage, provides plenty of parking for numerous vehicles and can be enclosed completely from the road with double gates.Nestled on the edge of town, the location offers convenient access to both Canterbury & Ashford. Ashford International Station is located approx 2.2 miles away, providing quick and efficient services to London in just 37 minutes.EPC Rating: D For more details and to contact: https://realtyww.info/houses_kennington-d18584/for-sale_i71596325
