Situation
Romney Cottage occupies a central position in the heart of this pretty Hamlet with its cluster of historic houses and pub. There is easy access to the bustling market town of Ashford with its International Railway Station and high-speed train service to London St Pancras (37 minutes). The larger village of Hamstreet with its popular primary school, doctors surgery, village shops and railway station is about 3 miles away. Aldington village is only 1.5 miles away with Post Office, general store and new food store. The property is well placed to enjoy a host of country walks through the nearby, Bilsington Priory Estate or along the Royal Military canal or even along the coastal sandy beaches at Dymchurch. The popular towns of Hythe, Tenterden and Rye are all accessible from Bilsington.


Romney Cottage
Offering the best of both worlds, this period cottage has benefitted from a nuts and bolts renovation and a considerable extension, with the most spectacular results. Period charm is blended with robust carpentry and craftmanship with appealing alterations to the floor plan, especially on the ground floor. The ground floor now offers a sweeping, open plan living arrangement, with practical boot room, utility and downstairs shower room to the rear. The country styled kitchen is a particular delight, with stone worktops fitted and a range of integrated appliances.
Upstairs, the sellers have cleverly extended the ceiling space into the roof line, with vaulted ceilings adding a great deal to the sense of space.
Outside, the garden has also benefitted from thoughtful landscaping, with a large sandstone patio, aesthetically pleasing fencing and a further seating area.
Full of quirks, this house is an exceptional example of traditional Kentish architecture combined with the comfort of a new interior.
