House For Sale £1,350,000
Dane Court Farm House is a wonderful family home nestled in a glorious location providing peace and tranquillity amongst the beautiful surrounding countryside, whilst at the same time having excellent access to Faversham and transport links. Home to the current owners for some 50 years and hugely enjoyed by them, the sale presents a rare opportunity for a new owner to similarly enjoy this charming home.
The house has evolved over the years to provide a combination of cosy and more elegant rooms, at the heart of which lies a welcoming farmhouse kitchen. With a vaulted ceiling and created using reclaimed beams, the room blends with the older part of the house.
A very generous reception hall to the centre give access to the reception space. The drawing room is an elegant room with a fireplace to one corner and, in tandem with the dining room, provides a perfect entertaining space. Being double aspect, both are bright rooms. Occupying the older part of the house, the relaxed sitting room has a beamed ceiling and deep inglenook fireplace with a wood-burning stove. The adjoining study area has a superb elevated outlook across the garden and countryside.
There are three double bedrooms on the first floor, including the generous principal bedroom with its dressing room and en suite shower room. The second floor provides a further two double bedrooms. Additionally, there is a family bathroom on the first floor and a useful shower room on the ground floor.
Dane Court Farm House is approached through an electric gate opening to a driveway leading to plenty of parking next to the house.
The house is positioned overlooking its lovely gardens, both from inside the property and from a raised terrace and deck either side of the house. The gardens are laid to lawn with plenty of nature planting and trees, including a mature walnut tree. The lower section of the garden is home to an orchard and there is a greenhouse.
A wonderful feature of the outside space is the swimming pool which is enclosed by a wall and a mellow brick outbuilding of some size. Sheltered and private, yet well situated close to the house, it provides a fantastic area to enjoy as a family or to entertain, surrounded by climbing roses and other established planting. The outbuilding offers potential for use as ancillary accommodation if desired, subject to any necessary consents, and currently houses the changing rooms and pump room and well as a stable and garage.
The popular village of Selling, to the south of Faversham and on the edge of the beautiful Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, is a small community with a well-regarded school, a shop/tea room and a public house. Local amenities can be found in nearby Boughton-Under-Blean while Faversham and Canterbury together provide an array of shops, leisure and educational facilities. There are excellent schools nearby in both state and private sectors.
The M2 provides access to the M25, London, Dover and the Channel Tunnel terminal. There are mainline stations at Faversham and Canterbury with regular and high-speed services to the City and West End from around an hour; services to London from Selling station take from 84 minutes. Ashford International offers services to London St Pancras from 36 minutes. The area has good access to the Continent.
