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.

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.

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.
