House For Sale £435,000
Located on the outskirts of the pretty village of Appledore, this 4 bedroom attached Victorian cottage, originally built to house the railway workers from the station nearby, not only benefits from direct access to the famous Military Canal that runs from Hythe to Rye, but also boasts truly spectacular far reaching views across the Romney Marshes which simply take your breath away. Adults and children alike will want to spend as much time as possible outside in the warmer months, fishing or boating on the canal and taking long relaxing dips in the hot tub while relishing the spectacular views, while in the colder months, they will be equally as happy to cosy up indoors in front of the roaring wood burner. The house also benefits from off-street parking. The Cinque Port towns of Rye and Tenterden are approximately 7.5 miles distant by car and offer a wide selection of shops, supermarkets, banks, restaurants and leisure amenities. Viewing is highly recommended.
