House For Sale £840,000
'The Gables' is an attractive period home which dates to around 1903 and situated within an idyllic semi-rural location, surrounded by picturesque countryside with the most stunning views.
Occupying a generous plot of 1/3 of an acre, the original cottage has been superbly restored and sensitively extended to create a four bedroom home which is situated in the conservation area of Highstead, Chislet.
The generous ground floor flows superbly with two principal reception rooms and a large kitchen/diner which is open plan with the sitting room. The family room leads through to an impressive conservatory with a pleasant outlook of the rear garden, whilst a very handy utility room and downstairs shower room concludes ground floor.
Stairs rise to the first floor which has an exceptionally bright landing area with windows to one end and a skylight to the other. The Master Bedroom is a good size room with east-facing windows, fantastic floor to ceiling fitted wardrobes and large an en-suite shower room. Bedroom Two is a good size double room with west-facing windows and lovely views of the garden and countryside beyond. Bedroom Three is another dual-aspect double room with very pretty views to the front of the house and excellent built-in floor to ceiling wardrobe cupboards. Bedroom Four is a double room and is double aspect to the side and front. The first floor accommodation is completed by the family bathroom with bath, WC and wash basin.
Moving outside, beautiful established gardens encompass the property with various areas to enjoy the sunshine thanks to its southerly aspect. A sweeping gravelled driveway provides extensive off-road parking and leads to a large detached double garage with pitched roof and power.
'The Gables' offers an enviable country lifestyle yet is within just a few minutes drive of a Sainsburys Superstore and the coastal town of Herne Bay just a few minutes thereafter.
