Description

A spacious detached single storey property set within 8 acres (*TBV), offering around1,800 sq. ft. of accommodation together with paddocks, an area of woodland, and excellent equestrian facilities. These include a 20m x 40m all-weather riding arena with rubber and silicone surface, a five-box stable yard, large hay barn, detached triple garage, large parking area for a number of vehicles/horseboxes and a mobile double field shelter located within one of the paddocks.

The accommodation comprises a kitchen/breakfast room, utility room, living room/dining room, five bedrooms, and two bathrooms, with potential to create a self-contained internal annexe if required. The property is set well back from the lane in a highly desirable rural location within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, on the outskirts of Denton, a charming hamlet close to the Cathedral City of Canterbury.

Surrounded by generous gardens, the property also benefits from a productive vegetable and fruit garden,greenhouses and a garden shed,alongside well sized adjoining pastureland. The area offers excellent off-road hacking with numerous local bridleways accessible via quiet country lanes, including direct riding access from the rear paddocks. Convenient road and rail connections also provide easy access to London and continental Europe.

Situation & Location - The property is situated along a country lane on the outskirts of the hamlet of Denton, enjoying excellent access to the M20 and A2, together with Eurotunnel and ferry services from Dover to the Continent. High-speed rail services to London St Pancras are available from Folkestone, Canterbury and Dover Priory, with journey times of approximately 60 minutes.
Denton is conveniently positioned between Folkestone and the City of Canterbury, both of which provide an extensive range of shopping, recreational and educational facilities. The nearby villages of Hawkinge and Bridge offer a selection of local shops and amenities, while Barham benefits from an award-winning community shop and post office catering for day to day essentials.
The area is particularly well suited to equestrian pursuits, with excellent hacking available along local bridleways and additional facilities at nearby Denne Hill Cross Country and Breach Barn. The surrounding countryside also provides superb opportunities for walking, riding and cycling, making this an ideal country and equestrian setting.
