A former village free house sensitively reconfigured into a spacious four-bedroom family home, The Old Unicorn pairs period character with practical modern upgrades. Ground-floor living centres on two stove-warmed reception rooms linked by wide bi-fold doors, a granite-finished kitchen with skylight, and a sheltered paved courtyard for outdoor dining. Underfloor heating to the ground floor adds daily comfort while bespoke wooden shutters enhance privacy.
Outside, the property benefits from a large paved courtyard, an extended lawned garden with vegetable beds and a wildlife pond, plus a detached outbuilding with utility room, workshop and loft. That outbuilding offers genuine annexe conversion potential subject to necessary consents; planning for an ensuite to the main bedroom has been granted previously and could be resubmitted. The house sits about 200 yards from the local station, providing direct services to Canterbury and London Victoria.
Practical points to note: the plot is modest in size despite generous outdoor areas, broadband speeds are slow in this rural location, and council tax is in Band F. The EPC is rated D (60). Overall, this is a versatile period home for a family seeking countryside living with good rail links and scope for small adaptations or an annexe conversion.
