A delightful 1930s semi-detached cottage, that offers over 1400 sq.ft of well-appointed and beautifully extended accommodation. This three-bedroom property has seen numerous improvements over the years including reconfiguration of the layout, installation of new solid oak flooring, a multi fuel stove and a contemporary downstairs wet room.
This attractive cottage is situated in the rural village of Shottenden just a short drive from the Cathedral city of Canterbury. Set in a generous 0.15 acre plot, the property offers established gardens with summer house, a substantial gated driveway and a double vaulted garage.
Steps rise to a pathway leading one to a front door that is nestled beneath a pitched door canopy with solid wood beams. The doorway opens into a spacious entrance hall with wainscot panelling, under stairs cupboard and an entrance into the newly installed wet room which has been fitted with contemporary tiles and high specification fixtures.
Oak flooring runs through into the triple aspect family room which has been opened up, to create clearly defined areas for dining, relaxing and reading. A multi fuel burner sits beneath an oak bressummer and is encompassed within a chimney breast that has stone hearth and stylish herringbone tiles.
There are wooden bi-fold doors that open into a bright and airy kitchen breakfast room, this forms part of the extension and every effort has been made to incorporate the original features such as the exterior brickwork and original rear door which now leads to a quirky pantry.
The kitchen with skylights and French doors to the garden, has an array of units finished with ceramic wall tiles, solid wood work tops which surround a Rangemaster stove. This delightful room is further complemented by a utility and laundry room which also provides access to the garden.
Stairs from the hallway rise to a further two floors where one will find a well-appointed family bathroom and three double bedrooms. There is a similar calming décor throughout the upstairs, neutral tones balance with stripped internal doors and natural wool carpet.
The main bedroom is generously proportioned and benefits from fitted wardrobes, the bedroom on the second floor has exposed brick work, skylights with splendid views of rolling countryside and farmland and plenty of storage within the eaves.
OUTSIDE:
Set within a generous 0.15-acre plot, the rear garden offers several seating areas dotted around the established gardens, including raised decking and a charming summer house with electricity and lighting. Adjacent to this there is a pergola with a hot tub which sits in the far corner adjacent to a sunny seating area and childrens play equipment.
To the front of the property there is an extensive gated driveway that leads to a double vaulted garage which has been divided to offer a workshop, dog kennels, area for bikes and storing logs. There is a pull-down ladder that leads one to a second floor which is fully boarded with windows this could be further adapted to create a home office or childrens games room.
SITUATION:
The property is set within a quiet country lane, in a picturesque rural setting which is designated as An Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and less than 2 miles from the sought after village of Chilham.
Chilham is an historic village on the outskirts of Canterbury and is set in the attractive valley of the river Stour. It is bounded on the north, south and west by the North Downs offering fantastic walks through the countryside. In the heart of the village there is a fifteenth century square with a post office, primary school and several public houses.
Other nearby villages such as Selling (2.5 miles) and Sheldwich (3.5 miles) both offer outstanding primary schools.
The nearby Cathedral city of Canterbury (8 miles) offers a superb range of shopping, recreational and educational amenities, including a good selection of State and private schools and three universities. The city is served by two mainline railway stations which connect with London Victoria and London St Pancras in approximately one hour.
The market town of Ashford (10 miles) also provides excellent shopping, recreational and educational amenities along with a high speed rail service which reaches London St Pancras in approximately 38 minutes from Ashford International Station.
The area is very well served by road connections, with the A2/M2 (5 miles) and the M20 (which can be joined at Ashford) both connecting with London and the coast.
The Channel Tunnel terminal at Folkestone (25 miles) provides a regular shuttle service to the Continent, whilst the Port of Dover (23 miles) also provides regular ferry crossing
