Cockering Road, Chartham, Canterbury, Kent CT4

Hidden from view and set down a track is this pretty and unique property which has the benefit of a secluded and enclosed garden in this rural setting but with the convenience of Canterbury City Centre being a fairly short drive to all amenities.

The main living area has been extended to provide two spacious rooms, one which incorporates a dining area zone and has large windows looking across the adjacent field, and the second reception room has a log burner and French doors to open and enjoy the rear garden area.
