"Cooks Place is a charming farmhouse set on the edge of the village of Stourmouth. The house is of lovely mellow redbrick elevations and is full of character. A much loved home and under the same ownership for many years, the house offers an exciting opportunity for refurbishment and updating so as to be similarly enjoyed by the new owner.

The front door opens into an entrance hall off which is a cloak shower room. To the left are two good sized reception rooms with beautiful, exposed beams. The first is currently used as a music room and has an inglenook fireplace and French doors to the garden. The sitting room beyond is triple aspect and has a wood burning stove. Doors from here lead through to a conservatory and terrace beyond, surrounded by a mature wisteria

The hall leads to a generous inner hall and study area, again with beamed ceilings and adjacent to which is a lean to providing a utility room. The kitchen breakfast room occupies a later extension and is a well proportioned family space with plenty of room for a good sized kitchen table. There is also a cellar.

Upstairs the principal bedroom is a generous room situated to one end of the landing with exposed timbers and a triple aspect. There are three further bedrooms, with a potential fifth interconnecting with bedroom 4 and adaptable as a dressing room or study.

Tall conifers border the lane giving a good degree of privacy. A five bar gate opens to the driveway which passes an ornamental pond and continues to the side of the house and the garage outbuilding.

Much of the garden is laid to lawn with spring bulbs and specimen trees providing a naturalistic setting with glimpses of the countryside beyond. A timber pergola adjoins the house giving framework for climbing plants and dappled shade to the paved terrace below, where al fresco dining can be enjoyed.

A further terrace in front of the conservatory is enclosed by a mature wisteria. A beech hedge divides the garden from a paddock area which has fruit trees to one end and has a separate access.

Occupying a scenic setting, surrounded by the Kent countryside, the semi rural village of Stourmouth is situated just to the north of Preston village, which offers day to day amenities, including a convenience store, butcher, garden centre, public house and primary school.

Sandwich and Canterbury both provide more extensive shopping, sporting, and leisure facilities together with an array of well regarded schools and colleges in both state and private sectors.

Communications links are excellent with buses linking the village to Sandwich and Canterbury, the A2 providing access to the M2 and to the extended motorway network. Rail users are well provided for with a number of local railway stations, as well as services from Thanet Parkway station which offers regular high speed trains to London St Pancras from 71 minutes. The Channel Tunnel terminal at Folkestone and the Port of Dover provide regular cross Channel services to the Continent."
