Location, location, location...! This property's address may be Hornash Lane, but you'll actually find it nestled, at the end of an unnamed private lane,  at the foot of the woods and surrounded by countryside.  It's one of only a handful of unique and individual properties accessed via this lane.  The house sits comfortably towards the top end of its 1/5th acre plot, with lawns, pathways, shrubs and trees that wrap their way round, almost 360 degrees.  Its easy to see that, in its hay-day, this garden was the owners pride and joy.  It features a timber summer house and log store and is framed on the boundary by a detached triple garage with parking and hardstanding.  A pathway leads you down the side of the garages and straight out on to the lane.   At the opposite end of the plot, a footpath off Hornash Lane, winds its way directly to the property's front gate at the top garden.  It's a pretty unique spot! The house has recently enjoyed some refurbishment.  Russetts new owners will get the benefit of freshly plastered and painted walls, new carpets and flooring throughout, plus a new fitted oven and hob.  As well as...so much scope to further enhance a truly delightful home in a unique and enchanting setting.   "The possibilities are endless here.  This is a fantastic opportunity to purchase a very comfortable, and much loved family home, that's great as it is now, but also offers potential to be changed and further improved (STPP).   It's setting is so private and peaceful, I would want to celebrate the property's close connection to its beautiful surroundings of countryside, woodlands and nature.  For example, with the main bedroom, which overlooks a very secluded corner of the garden, I would be tempted to install a set of double doors, for peaceful, lazy breakfasts on a terrace (and maybe a dip in a hot tub - it's the perfect spot!)  There is much scope to remodel and possibly extend this house, subject to all the necessary planning consents.  For those with bigger ideas and budgets seeking modern, open plan living - perhaps the kitchen could be relocated into the existing lounge/dining room to maximise those views over the garden.  And the former sun room could be reconstructed to extend the living area off the new kitchen diner and into the gardens beyond?  Whatever Russetts new owners plans are,  I can see a very worthwhile and rewarding project here, in a very special location, resulting in fantastic 'forever' home." Sarah Dillow, Property Specialist.     The part-glazed front door, under a covered canopy opens into the entrance hall, with all rooms leading off.  Ahead is the with a window above the sink to the side of the property.  A very workable U-shaped range of wall and base units, new electric oven and hob and newly tiled floor.  Opposite the kitchen is a good size double with window and leafy views towards the front of the property.  Buyers who might only require 2 bedrooms, may consider using this room as a separate dining room.  The is the stand-out space for this property, a light, bright double room, with French doors out to the patio and gardens beyond.  On the day of my visit, additional sunshine was streaming in through an additional window and part glazed single door to the side, which formerly lead into a sperate sun room.  This part of the house is clearly a delightful suntrap through the summer months and is wonderfully connected to the outside space. , one off the lounge and the main bedroom which is positioned at the end of the house, are all double with big windows and great views of different aspects of the house and its grounds. The property has a modern, contemporary fitted with WC and washbasin and I imagine there would be room to reconfigure and fit a bath if required. The property enjoys newly fitted carpets and flooring throughout.  the overall plot extends to almost 1/5th of an acre.  And the gardens wrap around almost the entire perimeter of the property creating a choice of secluded spots.  There are various pathways, grassed areas, patios, established trees and shrubs. At the bottom of the garden is a detached triple garage, which also includes and inspection pit, with hardstanding to the front and the rear.  There is power and light here, and possibly further potential to convert, or part convert, some of this space into a home office/studio or garden room.  Subject to planning consent. - The property is on the edge of Shadoxhurst Village, an area sometimes referred to as the gateway to The Weald.  A rural mix of countryside, woodlands, and farmland with a wealth of footpaths, byways and bridlepaths.  The village has its own village shop, The Kings Head pub, village hall, a 13th century church, and even a well regarded Spa, and a strong sense of community.  The house is also within a 5 minute drive of Park Farm with Tesco Extra Store, Hairdressers, School & Nursery.  And a 10 minute drive of Ashford's McArthur Glenn Designer Outlet, Ashford International Station with hi-speed links to London St. Pancras.
