Property description & features

Tenure: Leasehold (1814 years remaining)
Delightful country home with origins in the 18th Century
Renovated and extended by the current owners
With planning permission and huge potential
Separate 2.83 acre field incorporating paddocks and barn
Detached office, workshop, stables and garages
Short drive to local village shops or nearby Canterbury

This delightful detached country home has its origins in the 18th century but has been renovated and extended over the years while still retaining charming period features. It includes a detached office, a large workshop, double garage, stables and a nearby 2.83 acre field incorporating two paddocks and a barn with planning permission to be converted into additional stables and a manege.

The cottage is surrounded by fields and has a spacious driveway flanked by a lawn where you can park numerous vehicles. The delightful dual aspect sitting room has a beamed ceiling, a brick fireplace and log burner as well as hard wearing wood effect flooring that flows through double pine doors into the beamed dining room. This has built in bookshelves, access to the inner hall and French doors to a decked terrace with footings for a potential garden room. The country kitchen has a range cooker, solid wood units housing appliances and an adjacent utility room and cloakroom.

The first floor landing leads to the family bathroom and three double bedrooms including the dual aspect main bedroom, while on the top floor there is a dressing area/study and an attractive double bedroom/playroom. The garden lawn is bordered by high trees and includes a summerhouse and access to the detached office that is currently configured as a sitting room, a kitchenette/diner and toilet. The stable block consists of two large and one small stable/store room and a tack room.

What the Owner says:
This cottage is on a 2000 year lease and still has 1814 years to run so, although it is technically a leasehold property, it realistically comes under the category of a ‘Virtual Freehold.' We moved here 24 years ago and have renovated and extended the property including creating the second floor accommodation, underpinning the house, renewing plumbing and electrics and building the annex and have planning permission for a garden room and two porches. Sadly a change in circumstances mean we have to move but hope to stay in the area. It is not far to Lyminge with its shops, surgery, post office, pharmacy and primary school and Elham is also within easy reach. There are plenty of places for walking, cycling and riding including Lyminge Forest and two golf courses nearby. While Sandling station is not far away with fast trains to St Pancras taking just over an hour.

Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on January 5, 2022

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 January 5, 2022

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 June 1, 2024 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.
