Ashford, Kent
Lower Brook House
Set along a quiet lane on the edge of Sellinge, just between Ashford and Folkestone, this beautifully appointed five bedroom farmhouse sits on nearly an acre of grounds. From the moment you pull through the gates, it feels like you have arrived somewhere special. The house has been designed with large groups in mind, and it delivers on every count. The heart of the house is the kitchen, a large shaker-style kitchen with a central island, bar stools, a range cooker and an American style fridge/freezer that means business. This is a space that genuinely inspires people to cook. The dining table seats ten with ease, set next to bifold doors that open directly onto the garden, perfect for long breakfasts or evening meals. There's also a comfortable seating area with sofas, armchairs and parquet floors offering a quieter corner when the group wants to spread out. At the other end of the house is the cinema room, a deep forest green room with a large corner sofa and a 75-inch screen TV, perfect for movie nights. All five bedrooms are individually decorated with their own distinct character and colour, each with a king-size bed, generous storage space and high quality mattresses and bedding for the best nights sleep. Two have en-suite bathrooms, and the main bathroom on the ground floor is a full bathroom with both a bath and shower. Outside is where Lower Brook House really comes into its own. A wide white terrace wraps around the house with a fire pit and a bubbling hot tub for eight at the other end, overlooking open fields. An outdoor dining area, gas barbecue and generous lounge seating mean that long evenings outside are inevitable. The table tennis table sits tucked under the trees with wheat fields stretching behind it. Further into the garden, a children's play area with swings, a slide and a climbing frame sits within beautifully planted borders, with a Wendy house beyond for the youngest guests. The lawn stretches out under mature trees, and there is parking for eight cars. Lower Brook House is the kind of place that suits a milestone birthday, a family reunion or a group of old friends who haven't all been in the same place for years. It also works beautifully for families who simply want lots of space, a very comfortable house and a garden the children will remember. Dogs are also welcome too.

Sellindge village is just minutes away with a Co-op and local amenities. Ashford is approximately 7 miles west, Hythe around 6 miles south, and Folkestone around 8 miles away. The M20 at Junction 11 is just 2 miles from the property, making the whole of Kent easily accessible.
Ashford
Sellinge sits in one of the most quietly rewarding corners of Kent, tucked between the North Downs and the Romney Marsh, with the coast to the south, the Weald to the north, plenty of countryside, history and good food within easy reach in every direction. The village itself has everything you need day to day - a post office and general store, but the real draws are the pubs. The Tiger at Stowting and The Five Bells at East Brabourne are both within a short 10 minute drive and are exactly the kind of country pubs that remind you why Kent earned its reputation as the Garden of England: good beer, a roaring fire in winter and lovely gardens in the summer. The New Flying Horse Inn at Wye is an award-winning country inn with exceptional food and a beautiful setting in the Kent Downs is well worth the short drive. For wine lovers, Domaine Evremond is one of the most exciting vineyard destinations in England right now. Founded by Champagne house Taittinger and set within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty just outside Chilham, this pioneering estate is a must visit. The coast is equally well placed. Hythe is the closest, a traditional seaside town with a long seafront and good cafés. Folkestone, twenty minutes away, has been transformed in recent years, the Creative Quarter and Harbour Arm with some genuinely excellent restaurants make it one of the most rewarding towns on the south coast. Dymchurch and the wide sands of Camber Sands are both within easy reach for families wanting a proper beach day. For history, Westenhanger Castle is just minutes from the house and for days out Port Lympne Wildlife Reserve is fifteen minutes away, Dover Castle and the White Cliffs within half an hour, and Canterbury with its famous cathedral are around forty minutes north. And for those travelling from the city, Ashford International is ten minutes away with high-speed services to London St Pancras in under forty minutes or the Channel Tunnel at Folkestone puts Paris within two hours. Lower Brook House really does sit at the centre of it all.
