A beautifully situated three bedroom equestrian property set in approx. 5.5 acres in an accessible rural location with 5 loose boxes, manège, access to good out-riding and wonderful views of the North Downs and surrounding countryside
The current owners have lived at the property for the last ten years and during their period of ownership they have remodelled and refurbished the bungalow internally, installed the manège and purchased additional land. The property now provides a superb equestrian family home in an area that has plenty of opportunities for hacking along numerous country lanes, local toll rides and the nearby Challock Forest.

There is access onto the M20 motorway at junction 8 close by and full ranges of shops and amenities at Ashford (including a mainline station with easy commuting to London and further afield, including an international connection) and Maidstone.
