Here's our monthly round up of our favourite properties to come to the market in August.
Maidstone Road, Ashford
Guide Price £1,000,000 - £1,100,000
This exceptional property has a great feeling of being in a rural location and yet is still nearby to Ashford and its fantastic selection of amenities on offer. Built approximately 12 years ago, this stunning home has been cleverly designed with beautiful features throughout and plenty of space both inside and out for all to enjoy.
Abbots Grange, Stawell
Guide Price £1,000,000 - £1,250,000
This handsome country house, steeped in history, is located on a quiet lane just down from the picturesque church in this peaceful village. Abbots Grange and the attached Grange were originally one property that were sympathetically split many years ago creating an individual home with an expansive garden and a feeling of seclusion and privacy.

Sutton Road, Maidstone
Guide Price £900,000 - £975,000
The current owners have beautifully converted this 1830s Grade II chapel from its dilapidation to what we see today - a modern, high specification and stunning family home. With some of the original features maintained such as patterned and exposed stonework, high ceilings, gothic windows and fireplaces, this property is the perfect blend of original charm and modern living. With four double bedrooms (two on each floor) this property will give each of the family their own substantial space.
The owners have spent considerable time researching the best way to heat this building and settled on the installation of both underfloor heating to the ground floor and the insertion of a HERU system. This stands for ‘Home Energy Resources Unit’ and it’s a hybrid heat pump that extracts heat from a source and transfers it to where it is needed the most. There are thermostats on the walls and then this recycled heat gets pumped out via circular air vent units in the ceiling of each room to keep it at a certain temperature. It also helps to reduce dust particles too.
The Street, Adisham
Guide Price £700,000 - £750,000
This romantic, detached, Grade II listed property is located in a conservation area and consists of two former cottages that date back to around the 1600s with an abundance of original features and all of its original charm. Both cottages and their gardens are mentioned in a Will by Bennet Austen of Wingham in 1621, an ancestor of Jane Austen. Over the years, it has been home to farm workers, home bakers, artists and writers.
The property was completely restored and refurbished in 2018 using materials faithful to the original build wherever possible. Whilst some of the timbers are still those of the original build, the current owners have also sympathetically modernised this listed property for contemporary living.

Absolutely perfect for anyone looking for that peaceful setting amongst Kent's finest countryside.
The open plan living space is astoundingly spacious and has beautiful high ceilings and Velux windows.
