The property has a Kent peg tiled roof and has been extended and lovingly restored over the years keeping its character and period features throughout including exposed beams and latch doors. The property is locally listed which means it is a building of architectural or historic interest which makes a valuable contribution to the character of an area but does not qualify for inclusion on the statutory list.

The front entrance opens into the living room which is a great size and runs along the back of the house with a feature brick fireplace and wood burning stove for those cosy winter evenings. There is a separate dining room and a country style kitchen with a butler sink, a freestanding electric Rangemaster oven and space for a fridge freezer and a dishwasher. The kitchen has a stable door opening on the rear garden. There is a separate utility area/boot room which has plumbing and space for a washing machine, space for a freezer, a storage cupboard, a shower room and a door onto the garden. Upstairs there are three great sized double bedrooms, two of which have storage and a further single bedroom. The family bathroom has a WC, a vanity sink and a bath with a shower over.

Outside: To the front there is an extensive graveled parking area with space for multiple vehicles. The private rear garden is a good size and has numerous areas for seating to take in those sunny summer evenings. There is extensive lawns bordered by mature trees including a silver birch and ornamental shrubs. There is also a brick built outhouse, a shed that has an open front timber store and an outside tap.

Location: The property is located on the outskirts of the village of Petham which lies 5 miles to the south of Canterbury, nestled within the picturesque Kent Downs which is in an area of outstanding natural beauty.

Like most villages, Petham provides a stunning environment for walking, riding and cycling. There are two public houses in the village, a local micropub and The Chequers Inn, which is a welcoming family run pub serving great food. Petham Primary School offers state education for 4-11 year olds and was rated 'good' in its last Ofsted report.
