Property description
The character and potential of this 4 bedroom detached home on the outskirts of the historic village of River really needs to be seen to be believed, particularly at this new price!
From the grand doorway and entrance hall to the stained glass windows and feature fireplaces, many of the features associated with a house of this period are present. Probably originally two rooms but now one, the large bay-windowed reception room on the ground floor overlooks the garden and gets flooded with light. The kitchen, with its range of matching units, has plenty of space to cater for a growing family. The ground floor is completed with an understairs toilet and storage by the rear entrance.
Up the wooden staircase, you 3 double bedrooms, two of which with views over the River Valley, and a smaller 4th bedroom. There is also a very good sized bathroom, currently with a 3-piece suite but with plenty of room for a separate shower cubicle.
Externally, the property benefits from off-street parking and a garage to the front and the rear provides a lawned garden, complete with pond and summerhouse.
As a location, River will more than adequately meet the needs of most. The village is well served by buses, has an outstanding (OFSTED) primary school, 4 family-friendly pubs, several shops, 2 churches and a wide variety of local interest groups, such as the Dour Dramatic Players or the River Gardeners. There are a wealth of transport options for commuters, with the A2/M2 and A20/M20 a few minutes away and the HS1 rail link to St. Pancras available from Dover. For the culturally minded, the historic town of Dover and cathedral city of Canterbury, with their castles, theatres and museums, are within easy reach and for sports enthusiasts there are many opportunities for walking, cycling, gliding, sea-fishing and the like.
Although this property comes with the usual extras, such as gas-fired central heating and white PVC double glazing, it would also benefit from some modernisation. Viewing is by appointment only so please call Geering & Colyer who would be very happy to show you around.
