Description

" This stunning character property, originally built in the early 1800s as two separate buildings has been ingeniously combined with the addition of a magnificent glass atrium by the current owners, resulting in one truly remarkable property. The main living areas are in what was once the post office and include a picturesque sitting room with an attractive original fireplace housing a wood burning stove and pretty, sash windows, as well as a snug, with another lovely original fireplace. The large kitchendiner brings a more contemporary feel to the property, with two electric ovens, gas stove, an American style fridge freezer and integrated dishwasher.

To the first floor are two good sized double bedrooms, both with ensuite bathrooms, and is an excellent sized family bathroom with separate shower. On the second floor are two more double bedrooms, benefitting from breathtaking views over the surrounding countryside.

Back on the ground floor, leading off the kitchendiner is the superb glass atrium, which makes a glorious garden room and leads to the fabulous, converted coach house. The atrium has two sets of French doors leading onto the sizeable garden and has direct access via a third set of French doors to the home bar, which itself combines the traditional feature of exposed brick, and modern additions by the current owners such as the tasteful, custom-made bar, porcelain floor tiles and brilliant bifold doors. On the first floor is another good-sized double bedroom, with beautiful, vaulted ceilings and original wood beams, complete with an ensuite bathroom.

The exceptional outside space begins with private, gated access to the gravel driveway, with parking for numerous vehicles as well as a car barn. The striking, oak framed extension off the coach house is home to a garden kitchen and with its traditional wood fired, clay oven, as well as modern, electric integrated oven and bifold doors opening across the entire wall, you really can enjoy alfresco living all year round. There is also a vast paved and decked terrace, with an attractive, timber framed, slate roofed pagoda, a hot tub and a large summer house complete with sauna. The garden itself extends to 0.5251 and has been divided into the main garden – mostly laid to lawn with young trees and quirky Victorian style streetlamps – and a separate grazing paddock with tractor barns and storage. All in all, this garden is simply spectacular.

What the Owner says:

It is very conveniently located, with multiple stations within a ten minute drive with regular fast trains to London, and it's only a 15 minute drive from Canterbury city centre. There is also a regular bus route through the village from Westwood to Canterbury.
