This substantial contemporary home, positioned at the far end of the development, benefits from a private west-facing garden and has been designed to maximise views of the surrounding countryside and lake from every room. ### Long Description The estate is fully enclosed by secure boundary fences and electric gates, offering peace of mind and a safe, private enclave for families to explore the expansive grounds and take full advantage of this exceptional location. Just across the way, Pluckley train station provides fast, direct services to Ashford in around 6 minutes, and to London (Charing Cross) in under an hour – with high-speed links via Ashford to St Pancras in just 36 minutes. Beyond the estate, Pluckley itself is a quintessential Kent village, steeped in history and community spirit. The M20 motorway is easily accessible via Ashford or near Leeds Castle, while Dover is only around 30 miles away – making travel and commuting convenient. Ashford, with its shops, restaurants, and the awardwinning Designer Outlet (designed by Richard Rogers), lies just a few miles away, for all your everyday needs. Pluckley, known for its “chocolate-box” charm, offers a butcher, convenience store, “Good” primary school, and several traditional pubs. The village also boasts deep historical roots: its Grade I–listed Church of StNicholas dates back to the AngloSaxon period. The village name appears in the Domesday Book (“Pluchelei”), and the estate was once held by the Dering family, whose architectural signature, rounded “Dering” windows, remains iconic. But perhaps Pluckley’s most intriguing character trait is its reputation as Britain’s most haunted village, with reports of 10–17 ghosts, including the Red Lady, a phantom highwayman, and even a spectral horse-drawn coach. The churchyard, local woods, and old inns all feature in tales of hauntings, making the village a magnet for ghost walks and paranormal explorers. Pluckley remains deeply rooted in its past yet thrives as a tight-knit community. Green spaces, footpaths (including part of the longdistance Greensand Way), and community events at the village hall further enrich village life.
