Annsfield Forstal Road | | | | ME17 2JG Seller Insight

Initially, we really liked the area and that the property is a single storey bungalow with plenty of space for our horses,” says Peter and Margaret.

“We’ve lived here for 35 years and have added a rear extension to include the kitchen, utility room and garden room. We wanted to build the stables in brick to reduce the maintenance and they’ve done a good job for us. There’s a double garage at the end of the stable block and the out buildings include space for our log and hay stores, my workshop and the area for the chickens.”

“The village is around 2 miles away and has everything we need including a newsagent, bakery, pubs, restaurants and a lovely fish and chip shop. There’s a new, modern village hall which hosts lots of local events and the Tithe Barn holds all kinds of functions, including art displays and the Rochester Symphony Orchestra played last week.”

“Our garden is around ¼ of an acre and the rest is paddock. We particularly enjoy spending time in the back garden with a cup of tea whilst the dogs are running around. With lots of flowers, a vegetable garden and a greenhouse, it’s a very comfortable area in which to sit and relax looking out over the and the Pilgrims Way on the horizon.”

“We sleep in the back bedroom where we can have one ear on the horses and chickens. It’s our life looking after the animals and there are lots of little country lanes that are good for horse riding, so this property and the local area has been absolutely ideal for us.”

“We spend most of our time in the garden rooms which has glass on the 3 walls and a vaulted ceiling with timber beams and 2 Velux windows. It’s a very light and airy room with views over the paddock and we enjoy watching the birds in the hedges and trees.”

“The house is surrounded by hedges and is very secluded. We’re not overlooked and it’s really very private. The lanes are great for horse riding and practicing for the carriage driving trials which we have enjoyed taking part in over the years.”

“Kingswood Forest is about 5 miles away and we enjoy spending lots of time here, either walking the dogs or riding along the track, it really is a lovely place.”

“We’ve loved living here, it will be a wrench to leave as the house and land is part of us now. We’ll miss the space and the equestrian facilities and we’re hoping to find something similar closer to our family.”*
