Having just under 12 acres and useful outbuildings creates so many opportunities for potential buyers to explore. - James Hickman, Rural Property & Land
#TheGardenOfEngland
A rural property on the northern edge of Romney Marsh with no close neighbours and comprising a 3 bedroom bungalow set in good size gardens with double garage and useful outbuildings together with a parcel of old Romney Marsh grazing pasture. The property is also a popular licenced Caravan & Motorhome site which provides a small income but the buyers will not be obliged to continue with this.
There is easy access to Ashford & the M20 (Junctions 10 & 10a), and the Kent & Sussex Coast at Hythe, Dymchurch & New Romney, Camber & Rye.
In all about 11.90 acres.
Situation
Bellfield Farm is in a rural location on the northern edge of Romney Marsh between the villages of Bonnington, Newchurch & Burmarsh. Ashford is to the north west and offers a range of fast improving facilities and amenities including 3 junctions to the M20 and the HS1 rail service to London St Pancras (from 37 mins), all of which are making it more popular as a place to put down roots. The former Cinque Port Town of Hythe is only 7.5 miles to the east. There are village and secondary schools locally in nearby villages and at Ashford, Hythe & New Romney.
Background
The property is understood to have been a small farm in the early to mid 20th century that at one time included other nearby or adjoining land. In the Second World War the property was commissioned as an Anti Aircraft Gun & Searchlight Battery tasked with shooting down V1 & V2 Rockets that were missed by the Dymchurch Battery. It is believed that about 27 members of the Royal Artillery were based there with their quarters being three outbuildings, one of which remains today.
Caravan & Camping
The owner holds a Caravan & Motorhome Club Licence ( for five units. This is served by a separate access gate and is fenced off separately from the pastureland. There are 6 hook up points for electricity with nearby taps for water.
The site currently has 52 Five Star Reviews on the Caravan & Motorhome Website (
It’s a popular stop off for people catching trains or ferries to the continent or for people visiting the area with many returning customers over the years.
The Bungalow
This is understood to have been built in the mid 1930’s and has been extended at least twice since then. The bungalow has painted rendered elevations under a tiled roof and provides 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 reception rooms and a good size conservatory with a solid ceiling. The sitting room has a brick fireplace with Acorn multifuel stove and the dining room a woodburning stove. The kitchen has an oil fired Rayburn with water heater for hot water and central heating. Replacement UPVC windows and doors have replaced the originals over the years when required and a new Hotpoint double oven has recently been added.
Outside & Garden
A gravel drive leads off the lane through an entrance gate and continues around the bungalow giving access to the Double Garage with adjoining Store Room and a drive area for further parking, a gate to the caravan site and a small storage shed.
The gardens are mainly informal and principally laid to grass. On one side of the bungalow are a number of fruit trees whilst on the other is a small enclosed garden that includes a raised timer deck with railings for outside dining and relaxing.
Outbuildings
1) Main Building which was one of original Royal Artillery buildings used for accommodation, mess room etc. This is divided into a workshop, a number of small store rooms and a small stable.
2) 3 Garage Buildings used for storage.
3) Summer House with large raised deck to enjoy the outlook and views.
4) Aviary.
5) Small Timber Barn – located across the field.
Pasture Land
The land comprises a parcel of fertile Romney Marsh pasture which has possibly never been ploughed and in nearly 25 years since the current owner has been there it has never had any sprays or fertiliser applied. The field is arranged as a single parcel.
Riding, Cycling & Walking
There is hacking on local lanes and a choice of Toll Rides in the area (tollrides.org.uk). Romney Marsh has become increasingly popular for cycling with the mainly flat terrain suiting enthusiasts of all standards.
