Summary - The Old Unicorn, Bekesbourne Hill, Bekesbourne CT4 5ED
4 bed 2 bath Village House
Spacious period house with garden, outbuilding and close rail links.
Four bedrooms and three reception rooms, flexible family layout
A former village inn remodelled into a roomy four-bedroom family home, combining Victorian character with practical modern upgrades. The ground floor is arranged for versatile family living, with three reception rooms, a fitted granite kitchen, and underfloor heating across the ground floor for comfortable, even warmth. Double doors and bi-folds connect the house to a large paved courtyard and a generous lawned garden with vegetable beds and a wildlife pond.
Outside, a detached outbuilding provides a utility room and separate workshop with loft space, offering practical storage or potential annexe conversion subject to planning. The property sits in a quiet rural village location with Bekesbourne station only about 200 yards away, easy access to local shops at Chalkpit Farm, and several well-regarded primary and secondary schools nearby — attractive for families.
Buyers should note some practical negatives: the EPC is a D (60) and the main heating runs from an LPG boiler (not a mains gas network). Broadband speeds are reported slow. Planning permission for an ensuite to the main bedroom previously existed but has lapsed and would need reapplication. Council Tax is in Band F and the gated rear passage is shared with a neighbouring property.
Overall, this is a characterful, adaptable period home in a very affluent rural setting. It will suit families wanting village life with rail links to Canterbury and London, and buyers looking for refurbishment or modest extension work to add value and personalise the layout.
