House For Sale £695,000
A substantial extended detached family home in the heart of Barham village offering deceptively spacious accommodation. Viewings from Saturday October 2nd.
Situation
The property is situated in the centre of the village which boasts a good number of facilities, including an award winning community/general store, village hall, bowls club, playing fields, church, public house/restaurant and sought after primary school. The surrounding countryside forms part of the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty over which there is a wealth of public footpaths, bridle paths and cycle routes on one's doorstep. There is a regular bus service running through the heart of the village, giving access to the north to the historic Cathedral City of Canterbury and, to the south, the Channel Tunnel town of Folkestone and Ancient Cinque Port Town of Hythe on the coast. These offer a wide range of shopping, recreational and educational facilities and the high-speed main line train services to London to St Pancras.
The Property
Built circa 1940's, Marshal Ney derives its name from the first owner who commissioned the build and named the property after the ship he sailed with whilst in the Merchant Navy. The property has been the present owners family home for over 40 years, and has been the subject of considerable renovation, including a number of extensions to blend with and compliment the existing accommodation. The ground floor is entered through a central entrance porch and hallway, the original two reception rooms lie to front, and are presently used as a music and dining room. The sitting room is spacious and enhanced by the high beamed ceiling, with a wood burning stove and fireplace remaining the focal point. French doors open to the rear terrace and garden. The modern kitchen/breakfast room has a range of units incorporating cooking appliances and a side extension providing natural light to the breakfast room via a large window to front and roof lantern. Antico flooring extends through here into the rear utility room and ground floor shower and cloakroom which also benefits from underfloor heating. To the first floor are four double bedrooms, the Master bedroom being particularly grand with vaulted ceiling and split level with an en-suite and wardrobe facility. The main family bathroom services the three other bedrooms, although a separate cloackroom/WC is also available to the fourth bedroom.
