Framed by open countryside, I really admire the views from this interesting former Victorian pumphouse, -- Adam Howell
#TheGardenOfEngland
A converted former Victorian pumping station full of individual characteristics in an enviable semi rural position with fine views across the North Downs, lawned gardens, and a useful detached garage building.
Approached via an extensive driveway with parking for several vehicles, this distinctive character home in Hinxhill dovetails an idyllic and peaceful countryside lifestyle with convenient access by car to Ashford itself which has excellent road and rail links, along with the popular neighbouring villages of Brook and Wye.
Features of note include a large and particularly bright sitting room with floor to ceiling windows and doors maximising the amount of light throughout the summer, and a cosy gas log burner to make the most of the winter months. The study includes high quality built-in office furniture, and the conservatory takes full advantage of the amazing views across the downs, with underfloor heating beneath a tiled floor.
Three generous bedrooms upstairs are served by two bathrooms and an additional shower room, allowing for independent and flexible use without compromise or having to share bathrooms, the principal bedroom has its own ensuite plus built in wardrobes.
The rear lawn and summer house benefit from almost entirely uninterrupted views across the downs and towards the Wye Crown, making this a superb spot to relax or to entertain friends and family.
A garage building measuring 34ft deep and 18ft wide has a pitched roofspace, a shower, and a toilet, and has great annexe potential subject to the necessary planning permissions. Alternatively this represents an excellent and substantial secure space covered by CCTV to house vehicles or for anybody seeking to run a business from home.
A central double staircase, claw foot baths, and exposed ironwork from the original build are amongst a number of intriguing features that make this a very special place to call home.
