House For Sale £695,000
Walnut Tree Cottage is a delightful detached three bedroom period home set back from the road behind a white picket-fence. The property has been lovingly extended and refurbished to provide well proportioned living accommodation and is maintained to a high standard. Internally the property boasts three double bedrooms and a luxury "Jack & Jill" style bathroom complete with shower and wet room area on the first floor. Downstairs you will find a 16ft lounge complete with feature fireplace and wood burner, a separate sitting room with open fireplace, a further bathroom with separate shower and a beautifully fitted bespoke kitchen with bi-folding doors leading out to the garden and a separate utility room. The property has many attractive and appealing period features throughout including stripped doors, attractive fireplaces and picture rails. Externally is where the property really does come into its own however. To the rear, directly off of the kitchen, there is a sandstone paved patio and raised, fully lit entertaining area with wooden pergola over and extendable screens for those colder evenings. The garden then extends to the rear and side with many mature trees and shrubs with laid to lawn and various well planted borders and feature areas. For those needing to work from home, there is an insulated timber built cabin with power and lighting and it's own bar area. There is also a further raised decking area to the rear of the garden which is ideal for the last few hours of sunshine. The front of the property offers gated off street parking for a number of vehicles and access into a detached garage. In our opinion this property has the perfect blend of old and new and would make an ideal home for any family wanting the character of a period home, but with a sympathetic and modern twist!
The Hamlet of Acol, one of the smallest communities in Thanet, is conveniently situated within easy reach of Birchington; with its highly regarded schools, bustling high street and mainline train station as well as offering excellent road access to Canterbury and the M2 to London. Acol is steeped in history; close by is the famous chalk pit where Smuggler Bill met with a sticky end as told in the well-known poem ‘The Smuggler’s Leap’. This beautiful hamlet is surrounded by open fields where beyond you may hear music from the ‘Summer Proms’ at our local stately home, Quex Park, on a July summer evening. Not forgetting Quex Barn, a supplier of local produce such as locally farmed beef, seafood and a host of different cheeses which is also only a few minutes’ drive away. Acol boasts a variety of properties from unique period cottages to outstanding barn conversions as well as a selection of family homes and prestigious detached dwellings. It really is perfect if you’re looking for a rural retreat without feeling too isolated where local beaches, Westwood Cross shopping centre and the historic City of Canterbury are all still easily accessible. Not forgetting of course, the ferry ports of Ramsgate and Dover no more than 20-45 minutes’ drive away.
