Description

This historic L-shaped Grade II Listed home, dating back to 1704 with an extension added in 1850, presents a unique opportunity for renovation within its expansive 0.7898 acres of landscaped gardens and paddock. The property is enclosed by a curved brick wall and tall hedging, offering privacy and charm. Its exterior showcases authentic features such as original brickwork, chimney stacks, multi-pane casement windows, and solid oak doors, complemented by a large gravel driveway leading to the garage. Internally, the house boasts characterful spaces including a hall with parquet flooring that opens into a family room featuring a brick fireplace with log burner. The living room is adorned with exposed beams and an inglenook fireplace, while the country-style kitchen/breakfast room retains period details such as terracotta floor tiles and ceiling beams paired with modern appliances. The first floor houses four double bedrooms with scenic views, one of which includes a walk-in wardrobe, alongside a family bathroom. The outdoor space is equally inviting, complete with mature trees, divided lawns, a greenhouse, and paths leading to both a wildlife pond and a children's hideaway garden room. Notably, planning permission has been approved for the construction of a new double garage along with two offices above it—including bathroom amenities and a balcony—which could significantly enhance the property's value. Located in a friendly village atmosphere close to local amenities—including recreational grounds and dining options—the property also benefits from convenient access to Canterbury's cultural offerings and excellent transport links to London. This home offers substantial renovation potential for those looking to invest in enhancing both its historical charm and functional living spaces.
