Situation

Stokeys Gate occupies an elevated position on the North Downs which is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on the rural edge of the village. Hastingleigh has the Bowl Inn Public House and many walks and rides in the surrounding countryside. Wider facilities are available in the nearby village of Wye, which benefits from a good range of local facilities including restaurants, inns, shops, and a mainline railway station connecting with Ashford International (HS1) and Canterbury West both offering services to London St. Pancras in under an hour.

Stokeys Gate

Stokeys Gate is a detached chalet bungalow providing deceptively spacious accommodation extending to approximately 2,150 square feet and offering 3 formal bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, together with a first floor living area which could be adapted to a fourth bedroom subject to minimal partitioning.

The property is believed to have been built in the 1950s and was extended from 2002/3 onwards and now offers a very good sized kitchen/breakfast room, sitting room and dining room on the ground floor with the possibility of a further extension, subject to planning.

Garden

There is a large, mainly lawned garden, particularly on the western side where the garden extends back to the entrance drive with smaller gardens to the front, rear and sides. On one side there is small outbuilding used as a utility room & tool store with a greenhouse nearby. There is an outside seating area next to the garage.

Outside

The property is approached off the lane over a concrete entrance drive which leads to a small yard area giving access to the Garage/Tractor Shed and fields. The drive continues past the front paddock to the Garage/Workshop, which is a good sized building which possibly has potential to be converted to an annexe (subject to planning consent).

Equestrian Facilities

1) Pair of Stables, which are on skids and have electricity & lighting connected with standpipe water nearby.
2) Field Shelter in a small fenced paddock.
3) Further Field Shelter
There is space to build further stables and a riding arena, if required and subject to planning.

Land

The land included with the property, coloured red on the plan, is dedicated to rotational horse grazing and is divided into a number of paddocks.

The land coloured blue is available as part of a purchase of the property as a whole at a higher guide price. This extends to about 8.60 acres and is a single grazing field with its own gated access from the lane. (This land is not being marketed separately and is currently only available to be bought with the property).

Fencing

If the property is sold with just 6 acres (coloured red) then the purchaser of the property will be responsible for fencing the newly created boundary between the 2 parcels of land with either a suitable livestock proof fence or if they choose to erect post and rail fencing then the purchaser of the blue land will be allowed to attach livestock proof netting to this.

Footpaths/Bridlepaths & Riding

There are NO footpaths crossing the property. However there are a large number of footpaths in the area and just to the west of the property and accessible from the blue land is a bridlepath (AE229). For further details go to using the property postcode.

The North Downs area is very well suited to riding and hacking on the quieter local lanes with their undulating gradients. There are also a number of toll & forest rides locally, for further details, contact TROT (tollrides.org.uk)

Planning

The property is within the Kent North Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and all planning enquiries should be directed to Ashford Borough Council (ashford.gov.uk).
