Khios Road | | Ashford | | TN27 8BL Khios This fabulous new eco-friendly five-bedroom detached family home with farmland views to the front and rear is located on the Tenterden Road between local amenities in Biddenden and St Michael’s. Tenterden, Ashford and the M20 are all within easy reach, while a nearby bus stop links to station in around 10 minutes to provide an easy commute to London Cross. Set within the sought-after Cranbrook School catchment, the property also has access to a good range of state and private schools for all ages.

Completed early this year as a project by a retired builder after the demolition of a previous bungalow on the site, Khios is set behind electric gates and has a large detached garage with a store, separate housing for log supplies and bins, and a landscaped garden designed by a Chelsea gold-winner. The garden benefits from mature trees including a beautifully shaped oak tree at least a century old; there’s also a special Astroturf area with a gazebo and play equipment for children. The current owners have enjoyed the wildlife that visits the garden and three owl boxes have been set up in the hope that they will nest.

The entrance hall has a superb open oak and glass staircase, which rises to a galleried landing on two sides. Off the hall, a large open plan room runs the full length of the house from the front kitchen through a central dining area to a family area at the rear, where bi-folding doors open to the patio and garden. The owners enjoy the natural flow of the open plan room for everyday living and entertaining. The family area shares a double-sided wood-burner with the adjoining formal living room. There is also an office, a utility and boot room, a cloakroom and WC. The entire ground floor has under-floor heating and, except for the carpeted living room, has polished porcelain floor tiles throughout. On the first floor, two of the five bedrooms have beautifully appointed en-suite facilities, while four have fitted wardrobes.

The owners built the property to be as energy efficient as possible and have installed air source heating, which also provides hot water. Low wattage LED lighting has been employed throughout, while all windows are triple-glazed. The lightness of the rooms is aided by the use of white wood Venetian blinds and there is a sun tunnel on the landing. Being fully alarmed with CCTV throughout and having Cat5 Wifi internet available in every room, this fabulous chalet family home has every up-to-date facility. Having invested a lot of time and effort into creating both the house and garden, the current owners hope that another family will enjoy the result, while they move on to another project.*
