House For Sale £850,000
Tucked away along a private lane and enjoying an elevated position with far reaching views over Alkham Valley, you will find 'Nirvana'. Benefitting from over 2,800 square feet of lateral accommodation, well-laid out over one floor, you cant help but be impressed with the size of the living space on offer. The property was built in the 1980s to the sellers own specification and is now offered to the market for the first time in it's history.
The entrance hall has wonderful volumes, with a double height, vaulted ceiling with skylights, allowing light to flood the space. The layout has been designed in two, distinct 'wings', one for living space and one for the sleeping quarters. For formal entertaining, the main reception room is vast, with polished parquet flooring, an impressive brick built fireplace at one end. The room has been designed to make the most of the sweeping, open views to the front. The living space also offers a separate dining room, informal sitting room and kitchen/diner with built in pantry. Additionally, there is a useful utility room and guest WC. The five bedrooms are all double rooms, three of which have fitted wardrobes. The principal bedroom is located at the front of the property to take advantage of the open views, complete with en-suite shower room and walk-in wardrobe.
Externally, the property is set within approximately 0.8 of an acre of extensive grounds, of which are a real feature of the property. To the rear, there is a large patio and lawned area which is wonderfully private and sheltered. The driveway meanders through the front gardens, which almost feel park like with a true sense of tranquillity and seclusion. There is a large formal lawn which could lend itself well to a tennis court or swimming pool area. The driveway leads to a detached double garage which could lend itself to a variety of uses, if required.
River is a sought-after village situated between the historic town of Dover and the neighbouring village of Temple Ewell. In transport terms, River is well connected, being close to the A2 and A20 trunk routes having a railway station at Kearsney with direct services to London and only three miles from the Port of Dover. River has a strong identity and sense of place in Dover. The village has a Primary school taking almost all of its intake from the village itself. Its population supports a wide variety of local interest groups such as drama, gardening and society activities. The village has a recreation park and nearby is a historic park with its lavish grounds at Kearsney Abbey and another two adjacent parks namely Russell Gardens and Bushy Ruff. The village presently has three public houses, a green grocer, a Co-Op convenience store and still retains its Post Office which combines a pharmacy.
