What Hothfield has to offer and how you may have a chance of owning a piece of history within the village.

A village stooped in history, find out more about Hothfield and why you may be tempted to buy this fine home in the country.

Outer Gate Lodge promises character and individuality combined with substantial grounds, a three box stable and a detached garage with planning permission to convert. Set in part of Kent's stunning countryside, this is a home to yearn for and may well take your breath away.  Originally the gate house for Hothfield Place the property was built in 1809 using mathematical brick and tile with a Cumberland Green slate roof. Later on, the old Bake House to the rear was adjoined to the main house, creating a much larger home.

So why Hothfield? 

Hothfield is one of Ashford’s local villages, within easy road access to the town but still offering a more rural feel.

A mixture of mid 20th century homes and classic grade II listed buildings, it’s a village offering variety. The medieval church, St Margaret’s, dates back to 1598 when it was rebuilt due to fire damage. There’s a local children’s centre, playground and village hall that offer a multitude of events, services and activities. The local convenience store houses a Post Office too.

Right on the doorstep of the village is Hothfield Heathlands Nature Reserve – a truly beautiful area of protected reservation and one of Kent’s last remaining heathlands. Home to Highland Cattle, wild horses and various other rare birds and fauna, it’s the perfect place to take in the very essence of natural beauty in its purest form. Accessible all year round and completely free, what’s not to love?!

Although there is no longer an operational train station in the village, neighbouring Charing has one which is just under four miles away. Alternatively, a short 12 minute drive gets you directly to Ashford International Train Station.
