Situation

Hillecourt is situated at the foot of the North Downs on the edge of the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and just outside the highly sought after village of East Brabourne. The property is adjacent to the highly regarded Primary School and within a short walk of the popular Five Bells Pub. The fast growing town of Ashford and the International Passenger Station with HS1 rail service, as well as three M20 connections, is only 8 miles whilst Canterbury, Hythe, Eurotunnel & Dover Port are all easily accessible.

The Bungalow

The bungalow was built in about 1992/1993 as a replacement dwelling for the original bungalow with the conservatory added in about 2006. The sellers feel that there is real potential to convert the first floor into additional accommodation, perhaps 2 more bedrooms and a shower room with possibly dormer windows to the rear to take advantage of the lovely views.

There are 3 good size principal rooms. The Kitchen/Dining Room includes a well maintained fitted kitchen with an Electrolux oven and Samsung hob, the adjoining Conservatory is another spacious room and similarly there is a similar size Sitting Room. Please notes the electric ‘Woodburning Stove’ will be included in the sale.

Garden/Outside

There is a private mainly lawned garden to the front enclosed by mature hedging and a paling fence. There are a few trees, shrub borders, a pergola, gravel pathways and a small greenhouse.

Behind the bungalow is a small enclosed gravel area with picket fence and close to the drive is a fishpond.

The property is approached off the lane through double gates leading to a stone entrance drive leading to a large parking area which provides more than adequate parking for several vehicles and a horse box and gives access to the Double Garage with 2 Small Stores to the rear.

Stable Yard

1) 3 Stables & Barn
2) Field Shelter & Hay Store to the Rear
3) Covered Store/Workshop, where the owner used to have a hot tub.

In front of the stable yard is a raised deck & pergola for outside dining and an above ground vegetable bed.

Land

The land lies to the side of the bungalow and stables and is divided into 3 separate paddocks. There is one larger paddock and 2 smaller paddocks. There is post & rail fencing to the external boundary and the row of trees which divide the 2 smallest paddocks provide useful shelter.
