House For Sale £695,000
An old farmhouse like this that requires modernising has a habit of sending my imagination racing. -- Greg Wood, Director
#TheGardenOfEngland
A handsome and substantial detached Grade II listed farmhouse house set on the outskirts of Ashford, dating from the 1660’s with many original features intact, pleasing proportions and generous gardens with several helpful outbuildings.
Sold with no onward chain and offered for sale for the first time in 56 years.
Willesborough Lees is a highly regarded part of Ashford and this part of the Kennington Road benefits from a conservation area status and boasts an eclectic mix of homes, showcasing classical Kentish period farmhouses, converted barns, farm worker cottages, through to more modern bungalows and detached homes. Within walking distance is a Tesco superstore, popular local pubs and the William Harvey Hospital. The M20 is within a few minutes and the International Train Station (with services to London in circa 35 minutes) is within a 10 minute drive.
Surrounding Ashford there are wonderful villages and plenty of public footpaths for keen walkers. The great outdoors is almost a stone’s throw away, which is clearly another feature that contributes to Willesborough Lees popularity.
Brisley Rise is a captivating, detached residence set in a generous plot of approx. 0.67 acres. A Grade II listed home with timber carving dated 1662, indicating the 17th century, with later Edwardian additions.
As the photos show, a wealth of appealing features remain, including exposed timbers, solid wood doors, open fires, exposed floorboards and clay tiled floors.
As is also clear, the house would now benefit from some renovation, but possesses all the ingredients to create a truly magnificent family home.
Outside there are some handy outbuildings, in variable condition. These form precedence for replacement and/or renovation.
Agents Note
Brisley Rise is sold for use as a single private dwelling house and residential curtilage.
Services: Mains services are connected but have not been tested.
Viewing: Strictly by appointment with the agent.
