Situation
The sought after and attractive village of Tilmanstone is conveniently placed midway between Sandwich and Dover. And is bypassed by the A256. The neighbouring villages of Eythorne and Eastry both provide local shopping facilities together with primary schools and other amenities. The historic town and Cinque Port of Sandwich lies just to the north and offers a wider range of shopping facilities together with very good secondary schooling and a mainline railway station with regular high speed services to London. For major amenities and shopping, Canterbury, Dover, Deal and Westwood Cross (Thanet) are a short drive away. The attractive partially wooded countryside surrounding Tilmanstone offers pleasant walks, riding and cycling. Bathing, fishing and boating can be enjoyed around the coastline and Sandwich Bay with its miles of beaches, nature reserves and choice of championship golf links - including Royal St George's the venue for the 2020 Open - is about 7 miles distant.
The Property
St Mary's Grove Cottage has been thoughtfully and sympathetically renovated by the current vendor to provide a wonderful and unique home full of charm and character which include solid oak flooring, plantation shutters, and most notable tile hung Dutch gable ends. On the ground floor is a sitting room with attractive fireplace housing a wood burning stove, dining room with feature inglenook, fitted kitchen with Rayburn range cooker and A rated condensing boiler providing hot water and central heating, integrated dishwasher (new), and retro fridge/freezer. The spacious bathroom boasts a free standing claw foot slipper bath, underfloor heating and a useful floor to ceiling utility cupboard with concealed washer/dryer (new). There are two double bedrooms occupying the first floor - both with fitted wardrobes - and a modern shower suite. The detached barn provides ancillary accommodation and is a perfect guest suite with exposed brick chimney breast, oak flooring, impressive high ceiling, and en suite shower room with underfloor heating.
