Horseshoe Farm is a stunning property in a semi-rural location on Capel Road near Ruckinge, Kent, with multi-functional and versatile accommodation that is suited both for the single or extended family, with a central main building, attached annexe-style accommodation to the left-hand side of the main building and detached lodge including double garage with accommodation space to the ground and first floor. To the rear of the main property and annexe, connected by a 1st floor balcony with stairs to the ground floor, is a lovely summer house, with decked area including hot tub.

The grounds are exceptional, with pond, large lawned area, outbuildings including workshop, greenhouse, livestock smallholding area and further to the rear, private bluebell woodland as part of the overall property titles included in this sale, of which there are two.

The property is located in a semi-rural area, to the south of Ashford, Kent in the area of Ruckinge and with good road access to Ashford International Station and the High Speed Rail Link for travel to central London in 39 minutes and the Eurostar Train to the Continent. The property is also well placed for road access to the M20 for routes to London and also the Channel Tunnel.

The house is of timber and brick construction with white weatherboard elevations under a slate roof. The current owners have also installed solar panels, reducing the utility bills for the property as well as receiving income from electricity sales to the National Grid. The property is approached over a gravel drive from Capel Road, through double five bar gates which lead to the garage and parking for numerous cars.

The main property ground floor accommodation includes two drawing rooms, a library, a study, kitchen, utility room, dining room, a ground floor bedroom with en-suite bathroom, sauna and entrance hallway with stairs to the first floor landing. To the 1st floor of the main property, there are four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a shower room and access to the 1st floor wooden decked balcony at the rear with external wooden stairs to the ground floor towards the ground floor summer house.

The attached annexe to the left-hand side of the main property includes, on the ground floor, a sitting room, kitchen/breakfast room, dining room/study, conservatory and separate hallway with stairs to the 1st floor. The annexe 1st floor accommodation includes two bedrooms, a bathroom and shower room, plus access to the 1st floor balcony.

The lodge is specifically a double garage, which has an open plan ground floor area that could be utilised, subject to appropriate planning and building regulations consent, as a lounge with kitchen/breakfast area and to the 1st floor, bedroom, bathroom and sitting room accommodation.

The grounds are, in our opinion, a stunning feature of the property. At the rear of the property the main gardens are laid out around a spectacular central summer house with large decked area and hot tub. A large natural pond bordered by mature trees and established water plants is a lovely feature just behind The Lodge.

The gardens are interspersed with large mature trees such as oak, willow and several smaller fruit trees. To the Left-hand side of the rear gardens, purpose-built workshops with storage areas provide convenient working accommodation and the livestock pens house many species of poultry.

A superb polytunnel is being put to good use by the current vendors, who are avid gardeners, and the grounds in our opinion are a real credit to them.

Further to the rear, a post and railing fence leads from the lawned gardens into adjoining bluebell woodland, also part of this property and this too is a delight. Numerous varieties of plants can be found interspersed within the woodland itself and the area offers a great countryside retreat as part of the overall property for those wishing to be at one with nature.

Overall, this is a stunning property, much improved by the current vendors since purchase and viewing is most highly recommended.
