5 bed detached house for sale

Wingate Hill, Harbledown, Canterbury CT2

Standing in grounds of approximately 3.5 acres, Isabel Mead Farmhouse is a substantial character residence believed to date back to the early 1700's. Constructed of brick with later additions in the early 1980's, the property offers the flexibility of a spacious one-bedroom annexe. The current owners utilise this as an extension of the main living accommodation together with a separate guest bedroom.

The property is approached via a long private driveway and enjoys far-reaching views across open countryside and farmland. The accommodation comprises a vestibule opening into a generous entrance hall which provides access to the principal reception rooms, including a charming dining room and a well-proportioned sitting room featuring a fireplace with log burner and an original internal well, currently sealed. The contemporary fitted kitchen, complete with appliances, leads through to a lobby with access to the utility room and a large conservatory overlooking the gardens. From the entrance hall a door leads to the self-contained annexe, presently incorporated into the main house and offering three generously sized rooms and a shower room. To the first floor there are four bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with en-suite facilities, together with a family bathroom.

Externally the extensive grounds provide ample space for a variety of outdoor pursuits and enjoy a delightful rural aspect. Despite its rural setting the property offers convenient access to the Cathedral City of Canterbury, approximately two miles, which provides a wide range of shopping, leisure and educational facilities including three independent schools, three state grammar schools, further education colleges and two universities. The nearby village of Harbledown offers a parish church, public house/restaurant and regular bus services. High-speed rail services operate from Canterbury West to London St Pancras in approximately 58 minutes and there are straightforward connections to the motorway network.
