House For Sale £1,200,000
If a secluded period property nestling in the midst of the Kent countryside is your idea of heaven, this delightful property should be top of your list. Originally built in 1850 the house has been significantly enhanced by the present owners and now includes a stunning rear extension providing a characterful frontage and period features together with a modern family space.
There is a gravel driveway leading to the front door and solid wood gates to the inner drive and garage. The front door opens into the charming living room with oak flooring and a log burner at each end while a cosy office with another log burner is just the place to work from home and the cellar is ideal for storage.
A corridor leads to the new extension where one side is made up of a vast full height picture window and bi-folding doors to a decked terrace and provides panoramic views. The kitchen has been built by Umbermaster with dark blue units housing built in appliances and a large central island breakfast bar with a Bora induction hob. There is a picture window overlooking the walled courtyard and plenty of room for a large dining table and chairs as well as seating areas, French doors to the courtyard and a door to the rear garden, Karndean flooring and underfloor heating. There is also access to a large utility room and shower room.
On the first floor is a spacious landing with the original wood flooring and access to the attic. It leads to the contemporary bathroom and four double bedrooms, some with white wood painted flooring and built in cupboards as well as rural views from the newly installed double glazed sash windows.
The rear garden is laid to lawn interspersed with mature trees and impressive, raised flower beds. At the other end of the modern garage is a gym with bi-folding doors into the garden. In addition there is a large, purpose built cabin that would also make an excellent office or studio.
What the Owner says:
“As soon as we saw this house just over five years ago we fell in love & my husband could see its potential for an extension linking the old dairy building to the main house. Waking up to find pheasants, red leg partridges & hares in the garden as well as the owls & birds of prey makes it an oasis of tranquility especially since working from home. Enjoying the countryside walks from our own doorstep, picking plums & damsons from our trees & hedges. Having some amazing places to eat & drink, The Sportsman, Fordwich Arms, The Pig & The Dog to name a few. Enjoying shows, comedy & the ballet at The Marlowe Theatre, canoeing, kayaking & paddle boarding at Canoe Wild, playing & watching golf most recently at The Open held at Royal St George's & all less than 30 minutes away…….There truly is something for everyone. We will be sad to leave this property, but it's time for the next exciting instalment in our lives & hope that the house gives you as many happy memories as it has us”.
