NO CHAIN - An equestrian property or rural smallholding situated in a delightful location between Wye, Godmersham and Crundale . This attractive semi-detached cottage which is accessed over a no-through lane, provides comfortable and flexible accommodation. Stable yard and paddocks. About 1.40 acres.

The Property
The original cottage is believed to date to the early 1900’s and has been owned by the sellers since the late 1990’s. The lovely garden room was added soon after that and then the property was extended again in about 2011. The house is located at the end of a private trackway drive shared with one other property and is surrounded by open countryside on the edge of the Olantigh Estate.

Gardens
The gardens lay principally to the front of the property and are divided into two separate parts with a pathway leading down to the lower garden area which has a useful mower shed. There are useful terraces for outside dining on either side of the garden room.

Outside
The property is approached through electric gates which lead to a resin bonded driveway providing parking for several cars with additional parking/turning available on the adjoining terrace. The gateway from the drive leads from the closest paddock and stable yard. It can also be accessed via steps from the driveway.

1) Stable Yard
This is located in a slightly elevated position on the opposite side of the drive and comprises:-
a) Stable/Stores
With store/workshop with double doors.
b) Secure Tack Room/Kennel
c) Single stable
2) Stable/Log Store
a) A Single Stable
b) Open Fronted Log Store.
3) Four Outdoor Kennels
4) To the rear of the stables are two above-ground vegetable beds, a former kennel which is now being used as a chicken run and a greenhouse.

Solar Panels
These are located on the roof of the two stable buildings and benefit from a feed-in tariff into the National Grid which has about 16 years left to run on a 20 year plan. This not only provides additional income to the property owner but also provides free electricity during peak sunshine months.

Paddocks
The land is divided into 2 separate paddocks of similar size which are extremely well fenced with mainly post & rail fencing.

Riding
There is some excellent riding in the area, particularly on the North Downs via Crundale. There is an annual sponsored ride at nearby Olantigh Park in April and a number of toll rides in the area which are accessible within a short drive. For further information of local toll rides go to tollrides.org.uk.
