Description

" If you dream of living the rural idyll in the peace and quiet of the Kent countryside adjacent to an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty near the end of the North Downs, then The this property should be top of your list. It is located at the top of sprawling grounds of 5.23 acres including a stunning three acre lake surrounded by trees and shrubs. The owner purchased the property about twelve years ago and, at the time, it was in a derelict state and stripped back to bare brick so, internally, everything is less than twelve years old and includes all the ‘mod cons' associated with an upmarket 21st century property. The house has an attractive frontage with a pitched roof porch, chimney stack and unusual pointed arched windows and oak front. The pointed arch design is also reflected in the pointed archways found throughout the property including in the spacious reception hall that has open archways to the ‘snug' area, the inner hallway and cloakroom as well as to the lounge and the very useful study. This has a wall of shelving and fitted desk units and a wide square arch to the vast dining room where you could happily entertain more than a dozen guests. The dining room includes two French doors to the balustraded upper decked terrace where you can sit and admire the views as well as direct access to the kitchen. This has a range cooker and a raft of attractive Shaker style units housing a dishwasher while the walk-in pantry includes a fridge freezer. On the other side of the house is the large, triple aspect lounge that spans the depth of the property. It includes a charming brick fireplace with a log burner and has French doors to the upper terrace. On the first floor there is a spacious galleried landing with large airing cupboard, an archway to a quiet readingstudy area and the contemporary family bathroom as well as to four bedrooms. These include a single and double as well as a guest double with an en suite shower room and wide windows providing excellent views and the impressive, triple aspect main suite. This has an en suite bathroom and a large dressing room with fitted cupboards that also has a door to the landing so could become an additional bedroom if required.

What the Owner says:


I bought this house twelve years ago and it has been a labour of love to restore it and create a unique home but feel it is now time to downsize. I love the quiet and beauty of the countryside but, at the same time, I can be in Canterbury in just over 15 minutes and Ashford in under 20 minutes for the high speed train that can whisk me to London in 36 minutes so, door to door, I can be in central London in under an hour. While Canterbury includes wonderful historical buildings, high street stores, independent shops, restaurants and pubs, a golf course and leisure centres as well as first class private and grammar schools and three universities.
Living in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty offers not only wonderful views but also delightful places to go for walks. It is not far to Chartham with its two pubs, two convenience stores, a hairdresser and post office as well as the Chartham Winery or Chilham with its castle and picturesque village square and nearby station.
