A handsome and substantial detached Grade II listed farmhouse set on the outskirts of Ashford, dating from the 1660’s with many original features intact, pleasing proportions and generous gardens with several helpful outbuildings being sold with no onward chain and offered for sale for the first time in 56 years.
Agents note - Proceedable/financially prepared buyers only please, this an exceptional opportunity to aquire a quite beautiful home, but does represent a significant refurbishment project ideal for an experienced builder or developer client.
The current owners plan to retain shared access at the initial entrance to Brisley Rise with the future potential for a low lying bungalow on land to the rear, the existing garden to Brisley Rise remains substantial as per the site plan shown and the fence line at the property.
Willesborough Lees is a highly regarded part of Ashford and this part of the Kennington Road benefits from a conservation area status and boasts an eclectic mix of homes, showcasing classical Kentish period farmhouses, converted barns, farm worker cottages, through to detached homes. Within walking distance is a Tesco superstore, popular local pubs and the William Harvey Hospital. The M20 is within a few minutes and the International Train Station (with services to London in circa 35 minutes) is within a 10 minute drive.
Surrounding Ashford there are wonderful villages and plenty of public footpaths for keen walkers. The great outdoors is almost a stone’s throw away, which is clearly another feature that contributes to Willesborough Lees popularity.
Brisley Rise is a captivating, detached residence set in a generous plot of approx. 0.67 acres. A Grade II listed home with timber carving dated 1662, indicating the 17th century, with later Edwardian additions.
As the photos show, a wealth of appealing features remain, including exposed timbers, solid wood doors, open fires, exposed floorboards and clay tiled floors.
As is also clear, the house would now benefit from some renovation, but possesses all the ingredients to create a truly magnificent family home.
Outside there are some handy outbuildings, in variable condition. These form precedence for replacement and/or renovation.
Agents Note
Brisley Rise is sold for use as a single private dwelling house and residential curtilage.
