House For Sale £850,000
The hamlet of Shelvingford is steeped in history with Shelvington Manor and its environs dating back to before the days of Edward III and eventually passing in ownership to Canterbury Cathedral. In more recent times, the Manor was sold and the surrounding buildings converted into residential dwellings and one of these properties is this property.
Located near the end of a country lane that leads to Shelvington Manor, this charming and quirky family home oozes character from the moment you walk through the front door and into the hall with its exposed beams and rustic staircase with understairs storage. There is a relaxing family room with stripped wood flooring that flows through many rooms in the house and multi-pane wood French doors to the terrace as well as a warm and friendly dual aspect living room with exposed beams and an inglenook fireplace. The large kitchen/dining room has exposed beams, terracotta floor tiles, wood units and range cooker as well as an adjacent utility room and cloakroom.
On the first floor there is a family bathroom and three double bedrooms. One has a large pair of wooden doors to a Juliette and the other two are in the historical kilns with high, vaulted beamed ceilings. There is also a family bathroom while on the second floor there is a beamed and two double bedrooms with vaulted and beamed ceilings. One has an en-suite shower room while the other includes an original orchard ladder to a mezzanine area. The house includes plenty of eaves and understairs storage on the first and second floors.
Outside there is room for three or four cars in front of the house and a good sized garden with a large terrace and a lawn surrounded by shrub and tree border as well as a large garden shed.
What the Owner says:
“We moved here about nine years ago because we loved the quiet countryside location and the characterful house. At the same time we can take a stroll to the Gate Inn in Marshside and it is only four minutes to the Thanet Way for access to London, Canterbury and Thanet. It has been a wonderful family home but I am now starting in a new chapter in my life so hope that new owners will enjoy everything this house has to offer”.
