COVER STORY Address: The Firs, Weddington, Ash, near Canterbury Price: £700,000 Agent: Charles Bainbridge

There’s a pretty outlook over gardens and countryside from the Firs, a detached house for sale just outside a sought-after village.

The six-bedroom house is on the edge of Ash, near Canterbury and is priced at £700,000 with Charles Bainbridge.

There’s plenty of parking on the large shingle driveway and a range of useful outbuildings includes a detached double garage.

On the ground floor is a large kitchen/breakfast room which has a tiled floor and overlooks the garden. Doors lead to the separate dining room and large utility. There’s a large lounge and a smaller sitting room, both with fireplaces.

To the front is a separate study and there is a downstairs cloakroom. On the first floor the master bedroom has an en suite bathroom and separate dressing room.

There are five further bedrooms on this floor, together with two more bathrooms.

The Firs has oil-fired central heating and private drainage. A short drive of less than 15 minutes takes you to Sandwich, which has a train station and is 3.5 miles away. Canterbury is 11 miles away, taking around half an hour. Charles Bainbridge says: “This is a most impressive detached family house in an enviable rural position near the popular village of Ash. “This property provides extensive and versatile accommodation with a wealth of period features including impressive exposed timbers.”
