Marshborough Cottage is a Grade II listed detached timber frame cottage with lots of exposed beams and a thatched main roof.

Tucked away behind a tall front boundary wall in a private lane in the rural hamlet of Marshborough, the four-bedroom cottage is a pretty mix of brick, plaster and timber framing.

There is a large kitchen/breakfast room with an Aga and exposed beams, a beautiful drawing room including a lovely beamed ceiling and inglenook fireplace and a bright and sunny garden room with light oak flooring. Also on the ground floor is the entrance hall, cloakroom, dining room and study.

The landing has illuminated display cupboard and shelved recess, exposed timbers, bookshelves and cupboards.

The master bedroom is light and spacious with a large triple aspect bay and walk-in wardrobe.

There are three further bedrooms with exposed beams, one with an en-suite shower room. The family bathroom has white fittings with attractive tiling and separate shower. The large landscaped gardens have flagstone terraces, colourful flowers, shrubs and trees. Together with the paddock and outbuildings, the whole plot is around 1.5 acres.

The village of Ash with its good range of shops, primary schools, post office, doctors surgery and pubs is just over a mile away.

Canterbury is 10 miles away. There is a high-speed service from Canterbury West to London St Pancras in less than one hour.
