Description
I like the combination here of an established holiday let, wonderful gardens and a superb family house, all in a privileged location -- Alex Davies, Managing Director
#TheGardenOfEngland
An exceptional early 20th Century family house with holiday letting income and planning consent to extend with a splendid specification and set in grounds of about 1.11 acres.
Chillenden is one of the most sought-after villages in the area between Canterbury and the coast.
Thornlea is situated in the small, picturesque village of Chillenden in the heart of the East Kent countryside just under 10 miles to the South of the City of Canterbury and about 8 miles to the West of the coastline and Cinque Port towns such as Deal and Sandwich.
The surrounding rolling landscape is one of undoubted natural beauty and has long been considered an idyllic and peaceful part of Kent to live in.
