This unique detached cottage, dating back to the 16th or 17th century, presents an exceptional renovation opportunity within a serene setting in Hoath, near Canterbury. The property is nestled on approximately 3 acres of land, featuring expansive paddocks and thoughtfully landscaped gardens.

The layout includes an entrance hall leading into a fitted kitchen/breakfast space with a walk-in pantry, a family bathroom on the ground floor, and two spacious double bedrooms upstairs—with one offering an en suite cloakroom. Outside, mature gardens wrap around the cottage and include trees, shrubs, an ornamental pond, and a brick-built well. Additional structures present include a detached garage and a former Nissen hut, with ample parking available. There is also exciting potential for equestrian use with adequate space for stables and a riding arena (pending planning approval).
