Located along a private road in Fordwich is this delightful detached, light and bright family home with no forward chain. It features a large block paved driveway for off road parking and is bordered by a lawn that wraps around most of the property. The front door opens into a spacious entrance hall that would also make an excellent dining room and includes a staircase and oak flooring that continues into the reception rooms.
There is a shower room adjacent to the well-proportioned, dual aspect dining room. This has space for a log burning stove and, as it is next door to the shower room, could always be a double bedroom. The large bright triple aspect lounge features a stone fireplace and log burner as a focal point as well as full height windows and a glazed door to the rear terrace. The kitchen/breakfast room, with its tiled floor and painted wood ceiling, has plenty of space for a table and chairs and includes shaker style cabinets and units with built in and stand-alone appliances. It has direct access to the utility room that also has a door to the dining room as well as to the delightful conservatory with its sliding door to the rear terrace.
The galleried landing has an airing cupboard and access to the attic that runs the entire length of the property and both the floor and roof are insulated and boarded. There is a large family bathroom and four double bedrooms. Two have sliding mirrored wardrobes, another has fitted cupboards and the principal suite features a mirrored walk-in wardrobe, ensuite shower and dressing room/nursery or study.
Outside the terrace spans virtually the length of the property while an adjacent gravel area provides space for a hot tub. The lawn is interspersed with trees and shrub beds surrounded by close board fencing.
What the Owner says:
We originally bought this house as it is very quiet and peaceful since the private road just becomes a footpath. It is a two minute walk to the lakes for fishing and sailing and only two minutes' drive to Sturry. Fordwich is the smallest town in England with its own town hall, attractive historic buildings, the Michelin star Fordwich Arms and the George and Dragon. While Sturry includes the station where trains to London take just over an hour as well as The Kings Junior School, an Outstanding primary school, a pharmacy, post office, hairdresser, a convenience store and a cricket club. It is only a short drive or bus ride to Canterbury with its historic buildings, retail parks, high street stores, individual shops, restaurants, bars, a cinema, theatres and two stations. There are also excellent grammar and private schools, three universities, a further education college, the Kent cricket ground and sports facilities.
