A charming three-bedroom semi-detached cottage set high on the Kent Downs, offering peaceful rural living with surprisingly easy access to Canterbury, Folkestone and Ashford. The house retains strong period character — flint-knapped façade, exposed beams and latch-key doors — and sits on a large plot with beautifully manicured gardens, a greenhouse, and a patio with a pond and water feature.
Practical benefits include a large barn-style garage with vaulted ceilings and clear annexe conversion potential (subject to planning), plus a stable block with two stables, tack room and direct access onto the Minnis for riding or walking. The ground floor flows from a terracotta-floored country kitchen through to a generous sitting room with fitted shelving and a wood-burning stove; the first floor offers three double bedrooms and a notably spacious family bathroom.
Buyers should note a few material points: heating is oil-fired with a boiler and radiators (not linked to a community supply), broadband speeds are reported as slow, and council tax is above average. The property’s long history and later alterations mean some elements may need updating or investigation; interested parties should commission their own checks on services, fixtures and structural condition.
This home will suit families and countryside lovers who value character, outdoor space and equestrian access, and who are comfortable with countryside utilities and the occasional renovation or modernization project. The freehold tenure, large plot and versatile outbuildings create clear scope to add value while enjoying a close-knit village community and extensive Downs walking routes.
