Property Description

Set well back from the lane in the midst of a large, wraparound garden the characterful this property is a delight, with its multi-pane and small bay windows, central chimneystack and white walls. It dates back to the 17th century but has been extended outwards and upwards over the years and now provides a delightful rural family home. It is approached through a five bar gate and a gravel driveway flanked by a large lawn with an impressive Tulip tree. The drive provides off road parking for three or four cars and leads to a recently constructed garage and carport with storage facilities. An entrance porch opens into the charming dual aspect dining room in the original part of the cottage. This has engineered oak flooring, stairs to the first floor and an oak and glass door to the dual aspect lounge with a fireplace and log burner.

There is a spacious dual aspect kitchen/breakfast room with limestone flooring and inset ceiling lights, attractive units housing a fridge, freezer and dishwasher as well as space for a range cooker and a door to a conservatory/boot room with access to the drive. Adjacent to the kitchen is a trendy double shower room and a large utility room with a new boiler. This leads out to a gravel path and a raised terrace as well as a summerhouse/bar, surrounded by a mature cottage style garden with lawns, fruit trees and a greenhouse/potting shed as well as a small stream, waterfall and lilypond. There is also a concrete base that could be used as the foundation for an office or studio. Upstairs you will find a family bathroom and four generous sized double bedrooms with bespoke shutters including one with built in cupboards.

What the Owner says:
“We feel we have the best of both worlds here. Enjoying peace and quiet in the wonderful countryside surrounded by a friendly village community, while 13 minutes down the road we can be on the beautiful beaches of Folkestone. There is the Marquis of Granby restaurant close by and if you enjoy golf there is a number of clubs while for water sports and sailing there is the Royal Cinque Ports Yacht Club in Dover. The location is extremely convenient as it is only a short distance to the M20 and Folkestone West station.
