The property is approached via a five-bar gate, opening onto a private driveway and setting the house discreetly within its landscaped, bordered gardens. The sense of arrival is calm and secluded, creating an intimate backdrop for this characterful home.

The front door opens into a spacious reception hall that immediately establishes the tone of the house. Finished with a Swedish print wallpaper, solid wood flooring and a carefully detailed staircase, the space speaks to a sensitive and design-led approach, with craftsmanship and materiality at its core. The accommodation is notably adaptable. At ground-floor level there is the potential for three bedrooms, currently arranged as a generous principal bedroom, a dressing room and a study.

The main living spaces are positioned to the rear, where an elegant sitting room is centred around a wood-burning stove and enriched by William Morris print wallpaper, adding depth, pattern and a quietly decorative backdrop. A striking stained-glass window draws the eye through to the adjoining garden room beyond, creating a light-filled space that forms a seamless connection between house and garden and offers a refined yet relaxed setting for everyday living. The kitchen-diner is fitted in a considered farmhouse style, creating a warm and tactile environment anchored by a second wood-burning stove, which forms a natural focal point to the room. A ground-floor shower room completes this level.

To the first floor is a substantial double bedroom, set beneath the eaves and benefitting from Velux windows, eaves storage and a well-appointed adjoining en-suite bathroom.

Externally, the house is set within well-proportioned gardens to front and rear. A defined alfresco dining area provides an inviting space for outdoor entertaining, while the surrounding lawns are neatly maintained and framed by established planting. A summerhouse sits quietly within the garden, alongside a separate composting area, reinforcing the practical and sustainable ethos of the setting.

Parking is available for three to four vehicles, complemented by a carport adjoining the house. In addition, there is a substantial detached garage, fitted with an electric roller shutter door and equipped with power and lighting, offering excellent storage or workshop potential.

The property is connected to mains electricity and water, with oil-fired heating and drainage via a cesspit. Solar panelling - A 3.7kW solar pv array and 5.2kw battery storage contributes to improved energy efficiency and lower running costs.

Characterised by rolling farmland, established hedgerows and quiet country lanes, Wootton retains a peaceful, village atmosphere while remaining well connected. Canterbury’s historic centre, with its cathedral, independent shops, cultural venues and mainline rail services (including high-speed connections to London), is only a short drive away, making the village particularly attractive to commuters and those seeking a rural setting without isolation.

The surrounding area provides extensive opportunities for walking and cycling, with access to open countryside and scenic routes across the Kent Downs. Nearby villages and market towns offer a good selection of pubs, farm shops and local amenities, while the north Kent coast is easily reached for coastal walks and dining.
