Workhouse Lane, Sutton Valence

The Ashes is a splendid four-bedroom character property, showcasing exposed timber beams and impressive brick-built inglenook fireplaces, as well as clean, neutral and understated styling throughout. Set just outside the sought-after village of Sutton Valence and within easy reach of Maidstone, Tenterden and Ashford, the property also benefits from delightful secluded gardens and lies in peaceful surroundings with rolling countryside just moments away. There are two principal reception rooms on the ground floor, the main being the sitting room, which is accessed upon entering and features handsome timber beams overhead and a substantial brick-built inglenook fireplace. Open timber framing separates the sitting room from the formal dining room, creating an open plan feel to the ground-floor layout. The dining room has wooden flooring and benefits from a part-vaulted high ceiling with exposed timber eaves, helping to create a sense of space and light. Also on the ground floor, the well-equipped triple aspect kitchen/breakfast room has shaker-style units in cream, a butler sink, granite tops, a range cooker and space for all the necessary appliances, as well as French doors opening to the lovely south-facing gardens to the side. The first family bathroom can be found on the ground level, while stairs lead to the upper level, where there is an additional family bathroom, landing cupboard storage and three first-floor bedrooms. Each of the first-floor bedrooms offers views across the front gardens, including the principal bedroom, which also has a useful nook, which could be used as a dressing area or study area. Stairs continue to the second floor, where there is a further double bedroom with eaves access and its own dressing room.
