If you own horses, you'll know two things - one, that livery costs are spiralling out of control and two, that there's never enough time. Especially if you have a family and find yourself having to divide your time between the things you love. So the opportunity to buy a property that gives you both the family home you need and the outside space you want should be of interest. Imagine not having to drive to the stables of a morning - instead you could take a leisurely 2 minute stroll, coffee in hand and you're there, ready to start the day. Stone Cross cottage offers you that perfectly balanced lifestyle - so no longer will you find yourself walking the line between two lives. You can have it all in one place.
Everything you could need is here and it's been beautifully arranged and organised so that everything is to hand. It couldn't be better designed and the truth is that it needs to be - due to the sheer size of the plot.
The outside space, a little under 9 acres in total, which consists of post & rail and electric fencing is divided between 8 paddocks measuring approximately 1 acre each. There are 2 with field shelters on skids.
The L shaped stable block features 6 stables, tack room and feed store, all with individual electric points.
As storage is always at a premium with equestrian properties an extra barn has been built which is divided between a workshop and barn measuring 60 ft x 11 ft
Add to this a 40m by 20m rubber based ménage.
Stepping through the gate away from the equestrian facilities, you'll find yourself in the private garden belonging to the house. This is the best part of half an acre in size and features a tree house, a well (sadly not in use, but with potential) and offers enough space for the family to enjoy without it becoming overwhelming to maintain. Beyond the end of the garden running adjacent to the driveway is the orchard area consisting of 6 fruit trees.
The house itself was once two farmers cottages which have been converted into one. The result is a home with character and charm that has maintained a cottage feel with a modern twist.
There are 4 Bedrooms with the Master Bedroom on the Second Floor of the house and 3 Bedrooms on the First Floor alongside a Family Bathroom.
The Ground Floor has a beautiful triple aspect Lounge with French doors which you would leave open for most of the summer months - and a log burning stove for when the doors close and the nights draw in as winter approaches.
The Kitchen features an Aga and has an abundance of worktop and storage space. There is a Study, a Utility Room and a Cloakroom which complete the Ground Floor layout.
There are 3 separate entrances to the premises - house, yard and ménage area, all gated.
Stone Cross cottage is the perfect country property that feels like it's far away from the rest of the world but is conveniently located only 5 miles from Ashford town centre and the high speed train line into London St Pancras. It's also only 4 miles from Junction 10 of the M20 which makes access and transportation easy - and really that's the theme here. This is the opportunity to simplify life, make things easier and have everything you could want all in one place.
