Property description & features

Tenure: Freehold
A delightful cottage with origins from the 17th Century
Detached garage, car port and gated driveway
Beautiful mature wrap around garden and summer house
Idyllic village location with countryside walks
Ground floor shower room and utility room
Wonderfully maintained by current owner so you can move straight in

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.

Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on August 25, 2023

Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on August 25, 2023

Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services

Energy Performance data and Internal floor area: obtained on March 14, 2018 from The Energy Performance of Buildings (Certificates and Inspections) (England and Wales) Regulations 2007 or the Home Report if in relation to a residential property in Scotland.
