Pippins is a charming equestrian property set in about 4.7 acres on the outskirts of the picturesque village of Benenden. This renovated single storey, white weatherboarded home began life as a farmer’s cottage and has since been sympathetically extended to create a light and inviting residence. Its secluded setting makes it an ideal retreat, while the excellent equestrian facilities provide stabling and grazing for several horses. A traditional verandah shelters the main entrance, opening into a hall with storage. The sitting room features a log burner and direct access to the conservatory, which enjoys underfloor heating and views across the garden terrace. The double aspect kitchen and dining room is bright and airy, with light cabinetry, wooden worktops and oak flooring, offering lovely views across the driveway and paddock. From the kitchen, a spacious utility and boot room provides extensive storage, built in cabinetry, a butler sink and a stable door leading directly outside - perfect for pets, muddy boots and outdoor wear. The principal bedroom includes fitted cupboards and an en suite shower room with underfloor heating. A guest bedroom also benefits from its own en suite shower room, and a third bedroom and family bathroom complete the main accommodation. Pippins further offers additional detached accommodation in matching weatherboarded style, comprising a sitting room, bedroom and bathroom with shower—ideal for guests, extended family, or use as a studio, gym or teenage retreat. The gardens and land are a standout feature of the property. From the conservatory, an immaculate enclosed garden reveals colourful flower beds and an orchard planted with apple, plum, crab apple and cherry trees, along with a striking magnolia. A productive vegetable garden includes two greenhouses and a shed. Outside the main entrance, a sheltered south facing terrace with raised beds provides a wonderful setting for alfresco dining and summer evenings. To the rear, the stable yard offers an excellent block of three generous stables, together with a workshop or store, feed room and hay barn. There are two fields, each with field shelters and an additional storage barn. A further range of useful outbuildings include a substantial timber workshop/garage with power and light, a mower/tractor store and several garden stores. Access to the property is via the turning for Apple Pie Farm, with a right of way leading to Pippins’ own private driveway. The property enjoys footpaths from the doorstep offering a pleasant walk into Benenden village. Benenden itself is centred around its attractive village green and with amenities including The Bull Inn, an authentic Kentish pub and a village shop. View payable Stamp Duty for this property
