Description

Set within approximately one acre of beautifully established grounds, this exceptional detached residence, originally two charming cottages  has been skilfully remodelled and thoughtfully extended to create an elegant country home of considerable character and style.

Occupying a delightful semi-rural position with far-reaching views across adjoining farmland, the property offers generously proportioned accommodation arranged over two floors, perfectly balancing timeless charm with contemporary family living.

At the heart of the home lies a magnificent open-plan kitchen/dining room, beautifully appointed with integrated appliances, a central island and a striking wood burning stove, creating an inviting and sociable space ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. A stunning garden room enjoys uninterrupted views across the gardens and surrounding countryside, while the dual-aspect sitting room provides a wonderfully cosy retreat, complete with a further wood burning stove and an abundance of natural light.

The first floor offers five well-presented bedrooms, including a superb principal suite with en-suite facilities, complemented by a stylish family bathroom.

Approached via an extensive forecourt providing ample parking, the property also benefits from a tandem garage and immaculately maintained gardens featuring an array of mature trees, shrubs, planted borders and productive vegetable gardens, a haven for keen gardeners and those seeking a self-sufficient lifestyle.

Beyond the formal gardens lies a generous paddock, offering endless potential for recreation, entertaining, family gatherings or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings.

Located within a highly desirable village setting, the property enjoys convenient access to the historic cathedral city of Canterbury and the fashionable coastal towns of Herne Bay and Whitstable, renowned for their independent boutiques, restaurants and seaside charm.

A rare opportunity to acquire a distinguished country residence combining lifestyle, space and idyllic surroundings in one of Kent's most sought-after locations.
