House For Sale £875,000
Westwood Road, Kingston, Canterbury, Kent

This 1780s Grade II Listed cottage is accessed via a private bridlepath and surrounded by countryside and nestles in 1.58 acres of grounds including a field opposite. It has delightful external appeal with its Kent peg tiled roof and quintessential clapboard elevations, high chimney stacks and leaded light casement windows.

The upper block paved drive leads to a porch, a utility room and the main entrance that opens into a characterful hall. The country style kitchen/diner has exposed ceiling beams, a brick wall and fireplace with a log burner, a peninsular breakfast bar, units with integral and stand-alone appliances and access to the cottage garden.

There is a spacious, triple aspect sitting room with small square and sash windows, wood flooring, panelled walls and ceiling, built in shelving and a fireplace with a log burner. The triple aspect lounge includes the original outside brick and beamed wall, a brick fireplace and log burner, herringbone parquet flooring and French doors to the terrace.

The landing leads to the family bathroom and three double bedrooms including one with exposed beams, a painted wood floor, a built in cupboard and a brick fireplace, a large dual aspect double with a vaulted ceiling and the main bedroom with an en suite shower, fitted cupboards and a viewing area.

There is a gravel terrace and ponds with a little bridge and a waterfall as well as a summerhouse with a decked veranda, a garden shed, steps to the lower garden and a private ‘woodland walk'. The lower garden is laid to lawn with trees and shrub, a gravel driveway with a seating area and the entrance to a double car barn, a large workshop and a garage/music room. The field opposite includes chicken runs and an allotment.

What the Owner says:
We fell in love with the house and the grounds as soon as we saw them and knew it was the right place to bring up young children. It is quiet and the views are outstanding. However we feel it is time for us to downsize. Although we live out in the country, we are not far from Kingston village with its historic church, unique village hall that offer a variety of activities, as well as a bus stop and the well-known Black Robin pub.
