Property description
Few homes come onto the market that give genuine rural, countryside living, yet are located just 10 minutes by car from Canterbury city centre. This home is a lovely period country cottage. With gardens to the front, side and rear of the home, the rear garden then narrows and meanders up the hill, transforming itself into a hillside copse, rewarding those taking a short uphill trek to a neat wooden cabin, with admirable views down the valley.
The rear garden itself has a versatile insulated garden lodge - ideal for simply getting away from it all and sufficiently spacious to entertain family and friends in a warm, lime-washed timber environment. Home workers will not be disappointed either, with an insulated, internet-connected office at the rear of the double garage, currently used as a music room/study with separate toilet. The front of the garage is now used as storage, with space for numerous cars on the driveway. For keen gardeners, there is a large greenhouse with power and light.
Relax in the spacious lounge/diner to the front and enjoy the flickering flame from the modern, wood-burning stove. Relieve any stress by embracing the feeling of hygge within the centrally-positioned snug. Benefit from having a ground floor bedroom with delightful garden views, with two further bedrooms on the 1st floor, one of which has a walk-through area ideal as a dressing room or study.
What the Owner says:
When we bought this lovely home, not only did we feel we were buying a lovely character property, but also a piece of the English countryside. The grounds gave us everything we were looking for – traditional garden areas with a couple of small ponds, space for a greenhouse, secluded garden to the rear and a hillside copse that rises up the hill to the rear with wonderful views down the valley and beyond. We converted the rear of the garage into a music room/study and as well as our main home itself this, with the garden lodge, gives us additional space where we can simply get away from it all. Great parking space for visiting family and friends too!
