A striking detached Grade II listed four-bedroom period property, dating from 1835 and set within approximately 0.48 acres of established grounds in the sought-after village of Boughton Aluph, close to Ashford and its excellent high-speed rail connections to London St Pancras, with journey times of just over 30 minutes.

Rich in character, the property retains a wealth of period features including exposed brick flooring, open fireplaces, two wood-burning stoves and timber-framed windows with elegant period handles.

The handsome red-brick exterior is complemented by a plain tiled roof, distinctive gabled roofline and central two-storey entrance porch, with its round-headed doorway, mullioned window and original 1835 plaque depicting a pilgrim.

These architectural details provide a wonderful sense of the property's history, while the interiors have been thoughtfully arranged to create a comfortable and practical family home. The ground floor is particularly versatile, with a welcoming entrance hall leading through to a generous triple-aspect living room, a separate dining room and a useful home office.

The kitchen sits to the rear, with an adjoining utility room and access into the substantial conservatory, which provides an additional reception space overlooking the gardens. Upstairs are four well-proportioned bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with its own en-suite, together with a family bathroom. The accommodation offers excellent flexibility for family life, guests or those working from home.

OUTSIDE:

The property enjoys an unusually generous 0.48-acre plot, enclosed by mature hedging and established boundaries. Expanses of lawn, established planting and mature trees create a wonderfully private setting, while a generous driveway provides ample off-road parking. Despite the size of the grounds, the gardens are professionally maintained by a gardener, allowing the current owners to enjoy the beautiful surroundings without the demands of managing such an extensive plot themselves. A characterful country home with a rare combination of Grade II listed architecture, generous grounds, beautifully preserved period details and excellent connectivity, all within the attractive village setting of Boughton Aluph.
