Set back behind wrought-iron gates on just under an acre in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this 1920s detached home blends period charm with generous family-focused space. High ceilings, original joinery, marble fireplaces and herringbone floors give the principal reception rooms real character, while the extended layout includes a triple-aspect kitchen/breakfast room, orangery and a substantial games room — ideal for family life and entertaining.
The property offers seven bedrooms across a flexible floorplan that suits multigenerational living or home working. There is a separate study, an office with an independent entrance, a double garage and extensive driveway parking. The walled rear garden was professionally designed, with terraces, fountains, fruit and vegetable beds, a greenhouse and mature planting offering privacy and excellent outdoor space for children and pets.
Practical factors to note: heating is oil-fired with a boiler and radiators; walls are cavity-built with assumed no insulation; broadband speeds are slow. Council tax is described as quite expensive. These are material ongoing costs and may require investment if you plan modern energy or connectivity upgrades.
For a family seeking privacy and countryside living close to village amenities, good primary schools and a reachable commute to Canterbury, this property is a rare proposition. Its scale and character offer potential to personalise and update, while the substantial plot and outbuildings provide scope for hobby use or secondary storage.
