We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
Walnut Tree Cottage is one of those very rare properties that enjoys the best of both worlds being surrounded by beautiful countryside but is literally a short stroll from the village of Aldington with all the great local facilities that it has to offer.
The cottage is sitting in around ½ acre plot and is believed to date back to the 1800's and was built of ragstone, however, the property was significantly extended both to the ground floor and the creation of a first floor which now gives a total living space an impressive 2222 sq ft.
This house has been in the same family for many years and whilst some updating is required, it could make a wonderful family home offering flexible accommodation suitable for several generations as there are bathrooms to both floors and two reception rooms could be used as bedrooms or further sitting rooms.
The property now benefits from good sized sitting room with wood burning stove and doors to a generous conservatory, two further reception rooms either of which could be used as a bedroom, reading area with stairs to first floor, kitchen almost 20ft in length, utility room and shower room to the ground floor.
The first floor takes advantage of wonderful countryside views and consists of spacious master suite with full bathroom, three further bedrooms and family bathroom with sunken bath.
Outside the most attractive gardens of around ½ acre lawn with pretty shrubbery borders and mature trees, a brick block patio extends across the front and side of the property.
To the rear is a raised fibreglass 10x5m swimming pool with decked area which has been unused for some years and would need complete refurbishment.
The plot has a wealth of outbuildings, notably a substantial modern barn in excellent order of over 1000 sq ft plus mezzanine workshop ideal for farm machinery, a small business or maybe a number of classic cars.
In addition, there is a "Portakabin" style office of nearly 40ft in length and an open cart barn together with greenhouse and garden shed.
Viewing of this unique chain free property is highly recommended! Location The property is situated in the sought-after village of Aldington, set within a beautiful rural area.
