Park Cottage

Beautifully tucked away in a super location behind the ancient parish church, Park Cottage was originally part of the Hothfield Estate. Approached by a private driveway through a high brick wall the house is set off what feels like a private walled garden. There is ample parking in front of the house.

The reception hall leads to a well fitted, kitchen/breakfast room. A pantry and laundry room are attached to the kitchen, providing a great deal of useful space. The sitting room is a bright and sunny room with a stone fireplace being a focal point. Double doors lead out to the terrace making indoor/outdoor living very easy. The study leads into a conservatory which provides the ideal space to relax. The spacious second reception room could double as a fourth bedroom, if desired. The ground floor also has a double aspect bedroom and a bathroom.

The first floor has a generously sized principal bedroom with built in storage space with excellent views of the surrounding countryside. The large family bathroom is located across from the principal bedroom, directly adjacent to bedroom 2.

Hothfield is a pleasant village in the heart of Kent. It is split in two by Hothfield Common, a beautiful nature reserve that is home to Kent’s last four valley bogs and one of the few remaining areas of open heath in the borough. The common also features a children’s playground and a multi-use games pitch.

The village community centre is the hub of activity for the community and the Bluebells Children’s Centre is perfect for younger children. For older children, the highly regarded Ashford School is located in nearby Ashford. The town has plenty of shopping opportunities, pubs and restaurants, and regular public transport links, including the High Speed train service to London St Pancras. The nearby A20 offers access to both Ashford town centre and the M20.

A gravelled and concreted driveway gives immediate access to the front of the property as well as the two-storey double garage. The garage provides both space for storage and also features a study and a studio that could easily be adapted to a self-contained annexe, subject to any necessary consents. There are also a shed and two greenhouses. Nearby stables offer three separate stalls and a dedicated storage area.

At the rear of the property a stone patio is perfect for al fresco dining, and a generous level lawn is surrounded by established bushes and trees, offering shade and privacy without sacrificing views of the surrounding countryside.

From the formal garden a pathway meanders through to a delightful area of mature woodland that gives high levels of shelter and protection. From both the garden and the woodland there are gates into the paddock.
