8 bed detached house for sale

The Street, Molash, Canterbury, Kent CT4

Set within a breathtaking protected landscape, formerly designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this exceptional country residence presents an extraordinarily rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully restored period home with outstanding versatility. Dating back to approximately the early 1800’s, the property has undergone an extensive and sympathetic programme of refurbishment, blending the timeless character of its historic origins with the luxury, efficiency and convenience expected of modern family living.

Occupying an impressive plot with beautifully landscaped gardens, the estate is centred around an elegant three bedroom farmhouse, complemented by a thoughtfully converted former oast house that now provides two completely independent properties. Together, they create three separate dwellings, offering exceptional flexibility for multi-generational living, luxury guest accommodation, an established holiday let or the opportunity to generate a substantial secondary income.

The current owners have invested significantly in both the restoration and enhancement of the property, with every detail carefully considered to preserve its original charm while elevating it to an exceptional modern standard. Planning permission was secured for a striking kitchen extension to the farmhouse, transforming the heart of the home into a spectacular open plan entertaining space. Featuring a premium German-designed kitchen with elegant Corian worktops, integrated appliances, a Quooker instant boiling water tap, reverse osmosis filtered drinking water system and an impressive circular breakfast bar, it is a room designed equally for everyday family life and entertaining on a grand scale. Underfloor heating and beautiful herringbone hardwood flooring complete this stunning space.

A welcoming Regency inspired entrance hall immediately sets the tone, with elegant black and white Victorian tiled flooring leading to a magnificent bespoke curved staircase that creates a memorable first impression. Throughout the farmhouse, beautiful hardwood flooring flows seamlessly across the principal rooms, complemented by a wealth of period character, while a magnificent open fireplace provides a striking focal point within the principal reception room.

The farmhouse itself offers three generously proportioned double bedrooms, each enjoying the luxury of its own beautifully appointed en suite bathroom, creating an ideal layout for modern family living or visiting guests.

The former oast house has been comprehensively transformed following planning permission into two beautifully finished independent residences. The annexe offers two spacious en suite bedrooms, making it ideal for extended family, dependent relatives or long term guests. Alongside sits the superb holiday let, providing three bedrooms, including a principal en suite bedroom alongside two further bedrooms served by an elegant family bathroom. Both properties have been completed to an equally impressive specification, with matching hardwood flooring throughout the ground floors, luxurious new carpeting upstairs and their own private enclosed gardens and patio areas, framed by attractive picket fencing to create peaceful outdoor retreats.

No expense has been spared in improving the efficiency and longevity of the property. Every window across all three dwellings has been replaced with high quality diamond leaded double glazing, enhancing both thermal performance and the property's traditional aesthetic. Each dwelling benefits from its own independent heating system, allowing complete autonomy for owners or guests. The farmhouse is served by an externally housed Worcester oil fired boiler, recently serviced, while both the annexe and holiday let benefit from newly installed oil boilers, commissioned only recently and accompanied by the remainder of their manufacturer warranties.

The grounds are every bit as impressive as the accommodation itself. Accessed through magnificent handcrafted iroko hardwood entrance gates, individually made by a local joiner and incorporating a modern video entry system, the property opens onto an elegant circular driveway centred around an original Victorian lamp post, providing parking for approximately six vehicles and creating a truly impressive arrival.

The gardens have also been thoughtfully designed with sustainability in mind. An advanced rainwater harvesting system collects water from the roofs of all three buildings into a substantial 6,000 litre storage tank, supplying a golf course grade irrigation pump that efficiently maintains the extensive landscaped grounds throughout the year.

Properties offering such remarkable flexibility are exceptionally rare, particularly when presented to this exacting standard. Whether seeking an impressive principal residence, accommodation for multiple generations, space for dependent relatives, luxury guest suites or the opportunity to generate valuable holiday letting income, this outstanding home effortlessly delivers. Combining historic charm, exceptional craftsmanship, modern luxury and an enviable countryside setting, this is a truly unique country estate that offers an unrivalled lifestyle opportunity for its next owners.
