In all about 5.03 acres No onward chain Thimble Hall is conveniently located on a country lane, only a short distance from the A20 which offers easy access to local towns and both the M20 & M2/A2 motorway networks.

Ashford also provides a range of shopping, leisure and educational facilities, including a selection of state, grammar and independent schools, and 3 connections to the M20 motorway. Charing is the nearest village and provides a good range of village amenities and local shops. The Cathedral City of Canterbury to the north provides a wider range of shopping, leisure and educational facilities and also gives access to the M2/A2. There are local primary schools in nearby villages and a choice of secondary schools in the surrounding areas. Local railway stations are at Charing on the Victoria line and Pluckley on the Charing Cross line. Thimble Hall Thimble Hall is a charming Grade II listed house displaying a wealth of period features including ‘Dering’ arched windows and exposed timbers. The house was extensively refurbished and extended by the previous owners with works being completed as recently as 2021. These changes have transformed the property into a house that offers the perfect mix of old and new. On the ground floor there are 3 separate reception rooms with the beautiful new Family Room having 2 sets of bi-fold doors that open onto the terrace overlooking the pond. Off the family room is a guest bedroom suite. The kitchen was replaced as part of the refurbishment and, as you will see from the photographs, this has been completed to a very high standard with a very good quality fitted kitchen. On the first floor is a principal bedroom suite with built-in wardrobes and a good quality en-suite bathroom. Two further bedrooms are served by a family bathroom with a freestanding bath and a separate shower. Outside Thimble Hall is approached through electric gates from Leacon Lane which lead to an internal driveway. The main part of the drive runs down next to the paddocks to the main parking area to the rear of the house whilst two separate spurs off the drive to the right lead to an area of useful hard standing and give access to a Storage Building/Barn located in the small woodland area to the right of the drive. *Planning Consent Planning consent was granted in July 2018 by Ashford Borough Council ( ashford.gov.uk ) under application number 18/00819/AS for a detached Garage & Store with Games Room above to be sited off the main parking area to the rear of the house. This consent lapsed in 2021 and there should be potential, subject to planning, to renew this application or reapply for a similar building.
