Property description
Whether you are looking for a large family home, somewhere to run a bed and breakfast or holiday lets, this veritable Tardis of a property offers everything you could need. Built by a highly respected local builder in 1987, Holm Oak nestles in 0.414 of an acre of grounds and really lives up to its name, with the ancient oak trees such a special feature of the back garden – an ideal spot for children to play in and enjoy a game of hide-and-seek, watching the squirrels and the birds.
From the moment you see the spacious and welcoming reception hall leading to the dining room and large and well-proportioned lounge with its fascinating fireplace, you will start thinking about the wonderful parties you can host and the Christmas celebrations you can enjoy
with friends and family. For day-to-day living the large and well-fitted kitchen/breakfast room with its range-style cooker is likely to be the informal spot where everyone gets together. Adjacent is a substantial
laundry room and a useful boot room leading to the rear access. The two double bedrooms, with one en suite, on the ground floor could be used as guest accommodation or make an ideal separate area
for elderly relatives who would like their independence. Leading off the large landing upstairs there are two further en suite bedrooms, so there would be no queuing for the bathroom in the morning, as well as
three further bedrooms and the family bathroom. If more rooms were needed, above the double garage is a delightful bed/sitting room and bathroom annex that makes an excellent guest suite and if you wanted
to add a kitchen to make it a self-contained unit, the ground floor workshop area could be converted.
What the Owner says:
“We have been running this property as a guest house for many years but feel it is now time for us to retire. It has also been a wonderful family home and we have always enjoyed having the children and grandchildren to stay. We have loved living in this gorgeous house and revel in the tranquil and quiet surroundings of a large garden and relaxing courtyard. We converted the single bedroom into an office and airing cupboard for all the laundry needed for a guest house, but it could always be turned back into a bedroom. However, if you wanted even more rooms because of the wide landing, it would be possible to install a staircase and convert the attic into two additional en suite bedrooms. St. Margaret at Cliffe is a delightful village, with its shops, pubs and
Restaurants. There are plenty of lovely walks along the Saxon Way or you can wander down to the Coastguard pub at St. Margaret’s Bay for a drink. It is here where Ian Fleming lived and Noel Coward was a regular visitor. In fact the ‘007’ for James Bond was apparently based on the number 007 National Express bus to Canterbury. There is also a private pathway from
The property to the village so you can safely walk the children to school or wander back from the pub late at night.”
