About this property
A well presented Grade II listed detached cottage
0.4954 of an acre plot, including beautiful garden
Double garage and vast gated driveway
Beautiful countryside views as far as the eye can see
Still retains many original period features
Ideally located for Chartham village and its array of amenities
Nestling in 0.4954 of an acre, surrounded by undulating farmland and overlooking by the North Downs aonb is this adorable Grade II listed cottage that looks like something out of a fairytale. It was originally built around 1650 with later extensions and is approached through a five bar gate flanked by brick pillars.
A spacious driveway for off road parking is bordered by a large lawn interspersed with trees and shrubs and leads to a double garage with automatic doors. The characterful period features continue internally with exposed beams and fireplaces, well-illustrated in the dual aspect sitting room with its inglenook fireplace, multifuel burner and vertical beams that lead to a separate study area. There is a dual aspect snug with a central beam and an ornate wood surround flame effect gas fire and a tile floored dining room with brick features and underfloor heating that continues in the kitchen and cloakroom. A lobby has storage cupboards, access to a cloakroom, an external stable door and an archway to the modern kitchen with a Rangemaster cooker and shaker style units with quartz worktops housing various appliances, while a covered walkway leads to the utility room, an external toilet and a garden storage shed.
There is an oak staircase to the beamed first floor landing with an airing cupboard and access to the family shower room, a single bedroom with fitted cupboards and two dual aspect vaulted ceiling double bedrooms with far reaching countryside views. One has exposed wall beams and a cast iron fireplace while the first bedroom has fitted cupboards and a stunning stunning ensuite bathroom with a stand-alone claw foot bath and a shower.
The garage includes a large loft space and an attached garden mower shed, while a wrought iron gate opens into a block paved courtyard that continues under the covered walkway to the garden. This features a spacious terrace and a large lawn with shrub beds and trees surrounded by high hedging and includes a summerhouse with lighting and electrics that could make an excellent office.
What the Owner says:
This has been a wonderful home for the past 12 years but I need to move nearer to my children. Over the years we have sensitively modernised the property but retained all the character features. Although surrounded by countryside it is not isolated and Chartham village is only half a mile away. It includes a good primary school, recreation ground, convenience stores, post office and hairdresser, two pubs, the station where trains to London take around an hour and a half and the Chartham Vinery. While Chilham with its castle, picturesque village square, farm shop, primary school, station, pubs and eateries is less than two miles away.
Canterbury includes ancient buildings, pubs, restaurants, a cinema complex and two theatres, high street stores and independent shops, recreational facilities and two mainline stations including Canterbury West with the high speed train taking less than an hour to London. It also has excellent grammar and public schools and three universities plus easy access London, Folkestone and Dover.
