House For Sale £250,000
Miles and Barr are delighted to offer this exceptional period home located in the highly sought after Maxton/Elms Vale area of Dover. Immaculately presented and updated throughout, this light-filled property has been sympathetically restored to an extremely high standard, preserving a wealth of fine, original features and classic period style whilst at the same time answering all the requirements demanded of the modern family home.
The Ground Floor, which benefits from having retained its arrangement of entrance hallway, two reception rooms, plus a large, newly fitted family kitchen with French doors leading to the garden, offers a generous combination of living and entertaining spaces both inside and out.
Above on the First Floor are two double bedrooms and one single bedroom, a spacious landing and an entirely new bathroom with rainwater shower.
The 60 ft south-west facing garden, bordered on either side by beautifully weathered brick walls and with views to the surrounding hills, has been re-landscaped with a new lawn, wooden box planters, a shaded dining area and a vegetable garden to the rear, but above all designed with low maintenance as a priority.
The property boasts many, increasingly rare, period features throughout that include beautiful fireplaces, original floorboards and doors, wall paneling, picture rails, cornicing and sash windows.
Conveniently located a moment’s distance from reputable schools in Elms Vale and within a 12 minute walk to Dover Priory Station, with its high speed connections to London, this home is ideally placed for access to Dover town centre, port and seafront and the Channel Tunnel services at Folkestone. The Western Heights and the protected Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty around Little Farthingloe, with its excellent farm shop, are all within an easy and pleasant walk.
