Description

The owners here have left very little for you to do apart from hang your own pictures on the wall,  you can sit back, relax and enjoying being at the heart of this well serviced and easily accessible village.  You'll have local shops, post office, primary school, doctors surgery and a popular sports and social club ( tennis and bowls ) all within walking distance.  The coastal town of Hythe or the market town of Ashford are both only a short drive away.
This semi detached home occupies a level plot, with a wide gated driveway to the front making parking so easy.   The rear garden has been well tended and designed for maximum visual effect plus ease of maintenance.  A covered seating area and garden studio allow you to enjoy the garden in all weathers - also as the sitting and dining rooms over look the garden - it can be enjoyed all seasons from inside too.
Most of the accommodation is on the ground floor, that includes, spacious sitting and dining areas,  a well equipped kitchen with built in appliances,  all at the back of the property - over looking the garden.  Also on the ground floor are two double bedrooms, both with built in wardrobes and a modern shower room/WC.  There's a good size hallway with understairs storage and stairs to another double bedroom also with built in wardrobes and first floor bathroom/WC.
