Writers Retreat in the heart of Ashford Town
A quaint, quiet, Victorian home on the Ashford Church Yard. Just a 7 min walk from Ashford International Station. Walk just 1 min to the other side of St Mary's Church and find yourself immersed in the hustle and bustle of Ashford Town Centre.
Built in the 1870's, the cottage has its quirks and creaky floorboards but is full of charm with a gorgeous view from the master bedroom towards the church and beautiful trees. Every day the view changes with the seasons.
The space
Brightly and stylishly decorated, a lovely 2 bedroom cottage with a small garden for you to enjoy, in an excellent central Ashford location.
The house has an open plan dining/living room downstairs (with log burner), kitchen. Upstairs is the bathroom equipped with Bath tub & overhead shower and a large double bedroom overlooking St Mary's Church. The second bedroom has a Queen (Small Double bed) and overlooks the little garden.
Whilst relaxing in the garden you will hear the beautiful church bells chime every 1/4 hour.
Other things to note
Parking! Due to the location of my little cottage there is no free parking at the house, however you can pull up very close for unloading and loading. Vicarage Lane car park is just around the corner, and you can book the parking on RingGo. Alternatively I can offer you free parking for multiple cars a 10 min walk from the house.
