Description

" This immaculate detached family home was built about five years ago on the outskirts of Preston village. It is opposite farmland and is set back from the road where, in summer, it is almost completely hidden behind high hawthorn hedging. There is a front lawn and a wildlife pond bordering the tarmac drive that leads to the double garage and where you can park four or five cars.

The good sized hall has engineered oak flooring that flows throughout the ground floor, including the kitchenbreakfastsitting room. This has a shaker style kitchen with a central islandbreakfast bar and units housing a variety of appliances. The seating area includes a large bay that resembles a small conservatory with wide French doors to the beautifully landscaped rear garden. There is also an adjacent utility room with an external door and a larder cupboard.

The delightful lounge has feature wall panelling and French doors to the decked gazebo while the elegant dining room with its bay window is ideal for more formal occasions. The ground floor also has a cloakroom and an office. Off the U shaped galleried landing is the family bathroom, four double bedrooms and one single including an en suite guest room and the master with fitted wardrobes and an en suite bathroom.

The easy to maintain rear garden incorporating a wooden gazebo style dining space on a raised decked area while a large seating area is provided by a large terrace that leads to wild meadow lawns interspersed with young trees, shrub borders and a wildlife pond. There is also a storage shed and access to the garage, which has fitted cupboards and shelves.

What the Owner says:

“We bought the house from new just over five years ago and have thoroughly enjoyed our time here. We have upgraded the property by installing a new kitchen and flooring as well as having the rear garden landscaped. The garden is where we spend much of our time during the spring and summer as we feel that the gazebo and terrace provide us with two extra ‘rooms'. It is a wonderful family home and is ideal when all the children and grandchildren come to stay as there is sufficient room for everyone not to be on top of each other with all the flexible accommodation available. However we have now decided to move nearer our children. We love the area and the village as well as our own neighbourhood community. There is the Half Moon and Seven Stars pub in the village as well as a local shop and a wonderful garden centre with a cafe that does amazing food as does the Rising Sun pub in the next village of Stourmouth. It is a quiet and peaceful place and yet we are not too far from the Minster Service Station and Coop and it is no more than 20 minutes to the historic city of Canterbury with its high street stores, individual shops, bars and restaurants, the medieval Cinque port town of Sandwich and the beach at Herne Bay. While the Thanet Way provides easy access to London, the Thanet towns and Minster station for the high speed rail. There is a good primary school in the village and excellent state and private secondary schools in Sandwich and Canterbury.
