House For Sale £325,000
A well presented three bedroom character property offering attractive accommodation, parking and garage
Situation
The gravel driveway leading into the 30 year old development at Staple Farm, Durlock Road, is approximately 150 yards from the road junction with Lower Road in the centre of the village. Staple enjoys a strong sense of identity with the village hall being at the heart of this rural community and the village pub, the Black Pig, is always popular for a drink or meal out - they also provide a small shop for essential and artisan food. Nearby Ash, Eastry and Wingham provide good primary schooling, a wide assortment of shops and varied recreational facilities, whilst the larger towns of Sandwich (5 miles) and Canterbury (9 miles) have railway links to London and beyond.
The Property
Part of a courtyard development, this well-presented property provides attractive accommodation mainly on the ground floor, with the third of three bedrooms on the first floor level above. The spacious, open plan living room/dining room/kitchen, with brick chimney breast and fitted stove, has a vaulted ceiling to one end and a spiral staircase leading up to the third bedroom. Double doors to the side of the living room access the secluded main garden. The kitchen has fitted units and a door to the side leads out to a second, private courtyard garden. An entrance hallway has doors leading to the two main ground floor bedrooms, both of which have high ceilings and wooden beams - the larger of the two has an ensuite shower room/WC. There is also access to attic space and the main bathroom that has a bath with shower fitted over. The well planned accommodation has mainly laminate flooring, timber-framed windows and a gas central heating system with modern gas boiler and radiators.

Outside
As well as the pretty communal courtyard, there are two private garden areas which accompany the property - both have patio areas and paving, with planted borders. The smaller of these gardens, to the east, is ideal for breakfast - running beside the kitchen and living room. The larger one, to the south and west, will attract the afternoon and evening sunshine. It has a good size patio area and a similar sized raised lawn with well-established “cottage garden” planting and offers good privacy. There is also outside lighting, an outdoor tap and access to the single garage via wooden steps from here. The single garage has electric light and power point, with up-and-over door and boarding for storage in the roof space above it. A wide allocated parking space for use by this property may be reached through a gate in the main garden or by the communal gravel driveway where other properties have their parking spaces plus there are plenty of visitor spaces serving as overflow parking.
