4 bed detached house for sale

Shalmsford Street, Chartham, Canterbury CT4

Set within an impressive half-acre plot in the highly desirable village of Chartham, this exquisite and deceptively spacious four bedroom detached chalet bungalow offers a rare blend of charm, privacy, and versatile living. Beautifully maintained and thoughtfully improved throughout, this exceptional home must be viewed to fully appreciate the scale and quality of accommodation on offer. Set well back from the road, the property is approached by a generous turnaround driveway providing ample parking for multiple vehicles. Mature planting and established shrubs enhance the frontage creating an inviting first impression. Inside, a bright and welcoming entrance hall instantly sets the tone, with natural light flowing throughout the home. The majority of the accommodation is arranged on the ground floor, including two generous double bedrooms to the front, the larger of which benefits from a stylish ensuite shower room. A third double bedroom is also located on this level. To the rear, the principal reception room provides a cosy yet spacious setting, centred around a gas fireplace and complemented by large windows and doors opening onto a decked area with delightful views over the garden. The family bathroom is beautifully appointed, featuring a free-standing bath and separate shower cubicle. An additional reception room, currently used as a dining room, offers flexibility and includes stairs leading to the first-floor double bedroom. This impressive space enjoys double-aspect views across the garden and surrounding countryside, enhanced by a Velux window and excellent eaves storage. The heart of the home is undoubtedly the stunning country-style kitchen/breakfast room and extended utility space, designed with both practicality and sociability in mind. The kitchen is flooded with natural light and enjoys picturesque garden views, with charming curved windows creating the perfect breakfast nook. It is well-equipped with integrated appliances, solid wood worktops, and elegant cream cabinetry. The adjoining utility room offers further storage, a butler sink, external access, and houses a recently installed combination boiler.
Outside, the rear garden is truly exceptional-meticulously landscaped and thoughtfully divided into distinct areas, offering year-round interest and a sense of discovery. A converted outbuilding provides a superb detached studio with power, light, plumbing, and separate toilet facilities-ideal for home working, hobbies, or creative pursuits. Additional features include a summer house, two sheds and a more natural, wildlife-friendly section toward the rear. Despite its size, the garden maintains a remarkable sense of privacy and seclusion, with breathtaking views across open farmland and the village beyond. This is a truly special home offering space, character, and a country lifestyle in a sought-after village setting.
