Set well back from the road and surrounded by orchards and fields, this substantial 5-bedroom detached house occupies about a third of an acre of mature, heavily stocked gardens. Generous reception space—including a 31' lounge and 31' sun room—gives the family plenty of room to live and entertain, while a cottage-style kitchen, utility and cellar add practical storage and workshop space.
The house was built in 1967 and retains a traditional character: a galleried landing, large bedrooms with countryside views and a pitched-roof double garage with loft storage. Ground-floor accommodation includes a separate dining room and a downstairs WC; upstairs there are five bedrooms served by two family bathrooms. The greenhouse and dedicated vegetable plot will suit keen gardeners.
Important practical points are clear: the property sits in a high flood-risk area and broadband speeds are very slow, which may affect remote working and streaming. The house’s age means some modernisation could be needed to bring services and finishes up to contemporary standards. That said, the large plot, tranquil setting and chain-free status offer solid potential for a family seeking space, privacy and outdoor lifestyle within easy driving distance of nearby villages and Canterbury.
For families who value peace, large rooms and outstanding garden space, this home presents an opportunity to create a long-term country base close to nature reserves and village amenities. Planning any updates around flood mitigation and improved connectivity should be part of a buyer’s considerations.
