Kiln Cottage is a charming two bedroom semi-detached period home nestled in the highly sought after semi rural village of Ash, Kent. This delightful cottage, believed to have been built in the 1750's for local oast workers, combines historical character with modern comforts. The property is situated within the Ash cum Ridley Parish, an area steeped in history, with the ancient St. Peter and St. Paul Church mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 and the nearby White Swan Inn dating back to the early 14th century.
The ground floor offers a cozy sitting room featuring a log burner, perfect for relaxing evenings, alongside a well-appointed cottage style kitchen/dining room. A rear lobby provides access to the garden, and a modern fitted shower room completes the downstairs accommodation. Upstairs, two generously sized double bedrooms provide comfortable living spaces.
The pretty rear garden is a standout feature, offering a secluded and tranquil setting with two patio areas ideal for alfresco dining, a lawned section and borders filled with mature plants and shrubs. A winding pathway leads to a detached garage at the rear, providing practical storage or parking solutions which is accessed over a right of way on the neighbouring property’s driveway.
Ash village enjoys a peaceful semi-rural setting yet benefits from excellent nearby amenities in New Ash Green and Hartley, which include shops, restaurants, a medical centre, and a library. The area also offers strong transport links, with Longfield’s mainline railway station and easy access to the A20, M20, and M25 motorways, connecting to London and the Kent coast. Bluewater shopping complex and Ebbsfleet International Station are also within convenient driving distance, making Kiln Cottage an attractive home for both rural charm and modern convenience.
Location Ash is a small village located in the district of Sevenoaks. It shares the parish of Ash-cum-Ridley with the nearby village of Ridley. The London Golf Club is located in the village, which hosts the European Open on the PGA European Tour. The village offers a church and public house yet is within easy driving distance of shops and schools at New Ash Green, Hartley and Longfield which also offers mainline railway station to London Victoria. The A2, M25 and M20 provide links to both Gatwick and Heathrow airports, London, Bluewater, the channel ports and international railway station at Ebbsfleet providing a 20 minute link to London St Pancras.
