House For Sale £665,000
Originally built in 1950 as a forestry worker's cottage, this attractive attached property has since been cleverly designed and extended to provide a spacious, versatile home, with all the comforts required for modern living, and would suit any number of different purchasers. In addition to the main house, there is a substantial timber outbuilding currently providing storage, which could also be used for a number of different purposes (stp). Set in a plot of circa 0.3 acre (tbc), this property also benefits from a good size level garden and driveway providing off-street parking.
Located on the edge of the pretty village of Warehorne, surrounded by ssi (Site of Special Scientific Interest) woodland, Forest House is everything you could wish for in a rural retreat, and yet it benefits from being just 5 miles from the popular town of Ashford with its high-speed rail link to London and well regarded Grammar schools. Viewing is highly recommended to appreciate all that this lovely property and its stunning location have to offer.
Location
Situation: Tucked away from any main roads, this unique property is situated along a country lane on the edge of the pretty village of Warehorne.

For rail travel to London, the high-speed service from Ashford gets into London St Pancras in just 37 minutes. The property is surrounded by Forestry Commission woodland which is ideal for dog walkers and nature lovers.
