Rural properties with land and equestrian potential are hard to find this year, so I am hoping for lots of interest - James Hickman, Rural Properties and Land.

Situation

Rose Cottage is situated on the Romney Marsh to the east of St Mary-in-the-Marsh with New Romney, Littlestone and Greatstone to the south. Hythe is to the north-east and Ashford & the M20 are to the north, being easily accessible via Newchurch and Bilsington or Ivychurch & the A2070. Ashford offers a fast-improving range of recreational, educational, and shopping facilities as well as twin motorway connections and an International Station with a regular HS1 service. The Cinque Port towns of Rye and Tenterden are also an easy drive away.

Rose Cottage

The sellers have owned the property since 2010 but it has been in their family for almost exactly 70 years. It is understood to date to the early 1900’s and was once a pair of semi-detached cottages. At the start of their ownership the sellers extended and renovated the property to provide comfortable accommodation suitable for a family wanting the country life. The sale includes all fitted appliances in the kitchen including the hob, oven, extractor and fridge /freezer and the wood burners in the Sitting Room and Dining Room.

Gardens/Outside

The gardens lie principally to the rear of the house and are mainly laid to lawn with shrubs and trees with a patio off the cottage enclosed by fencing. To the rear of the main lawn area is a useful summer house.

The property has 2 separate gated drives with the main drive serving a good size driveway which provides parking and turning for several vehicles. This gives access to the house and is where the proposed double garage is to be located. Please note that planning consent has been granted and this is still a live consent. (Further details can be found at folkestone-hythe.gov.uk, under planning reference YO9/0977/SH).

Yard

A further access gate leads to the land and enclosed yard measuring about 30 metres x 20 metres which the owner has used for private storage and business use. There are storage containers as well as useful sheds and a workshop. The whole area has a hardstanding surface and would be a good place to build some stables (subject to planning).

Land

The land comprises a single parcel of pastureland which lies to the north of the cottage and outbuildings as identified on the attached plan. The land has potential to be fenced off for either equestrian or livestock grazing or could be kept as an open mown area for amenity use. In the north west corner is a rather run down shed which could be re-instated and put to another use.

The owners had considered applying to The Caravan Club for consent for a small registered caravan and site on part of the field.

Planning/ Local Authority

All planning enquiries relating to the property are to be directed to Folkestone and Hythe District Council on 01303- 853000 (Folkestone-hythe.gov.uk)
