The Property
Christmas Tree Cottage is a delightful semi-detached property nestled on the Kent side of the border with East Sussex in the village of Ashurst
Entry to the property is via a gated gravel driveway which can easily accommodate 3 cars in addition to the garage.
Entering through the covered porch and front door you reach the hallway. The main lounge can be found to your left where a Stovax cassette log burner takes centre stage as a focal point and useful under stairs storage can be accessed..
The Kitchen is very well appointed with a range of units and the integrated concealed appliances give the room a tidy streamlined feel with space for a dining table.
Leading off the Kitchen is the conservatory which has a solid and insulated tiled roof along with an expansive outlook on to the well established and cultivated garden.
The bathroom is fresh and practical with a bath featuring a rainfall shower and hand held shower, sink and toilet.
The three bedrooms are well proportioned and able to accommodate double beds. The largest room has fitted wardrobes and faces the front of the property whilst the other two overlook the garden, playing fields and countryside to the rear of the property.
Outside, there is a wonderful garden arranged on two layers with a variety of new and established shrubs and trees which during late spring/summer months transform the space into an heavenly oasis. An enormous decking area provides plenty of space for alfresco dining adjoining a cleverly enclosed patio space for the hot tub. Towards the rear of the garden there is a small pond, swing, second patio area and storage space. The garden benefits from all day sunshine throughout the summer and has multiple external plug sockets and an outdoor tap. At the very bottom of the garden is a gate which leads out on to the playing fields behind.
Subject to planning, there is ample space to extend the property to create further living areas, bathrooms and bedrooms.
Location
Christmas Tree Cottage is a delightful semi-detached property nestled on the Kent side of the border with East Sussex in the village of Ashurst. Whilst this is a rural property with an abundance of footpaths and equestrian bridleways through picturesque farms and forests on the doorstep, for those seeking urban life Tunbridge Wells town centre is just 10 minutes away and the local station (5 minute walk) will take you directly to London Bridge in 55 minutes. For international travel, you can be at Gatwick Airport in just over 30 minutes.
The playing field behind the property were purchased by the village over a decade ago to be enjoyed exclusively by the residents and to prevent any development. Featuring a small playground, two communal pavilions which are occasionally used to host social gatherings such as bar nights and BBQ’s it is a treasured peaceful open space.
View Of The Property
What the owner says: “I moved here 10 years ago seeking the best of rural life whilst also being able to commute to London, so having a station within walking distance was ideal, but even better was discovering it ran on a different line to Tunbridge Wells so fares are a fraction of the price. However, with both Tunbridge Wells and East Grinstead train stations nearby, when there are issues with trains, there is a choice of 3 different lines to get home which is so handy! The local community are very welcoming and with an abundance of village events it was very easy to meet the neighbours and build friendships.”
