Shuart Lane, St Nicholas At Wade, Birchington, Kent

This charming Grade II Listed thatched cottage on the outskirts of St Nicholas-at-Wade includes a detached barn converted into a two bedroom annexe. The cottage was originally built in the 1600s with later additions and is approached via a driveway for two cars and steps down to the front door that opens into the entrance hall with limestone flooring and underfloor heating that flows through much of the ground floor.

There is a charming study with a log burning stove and an open arch to the sitting room with its magnificent inglenook fireplace and wood burner as well as exposed beams, a staircase to the first bedroom and a stable door to the garden. The kitchen/breakfast room includes a range cooker and bespoke units with solid oak worktops housing a variety of appliances and a large central island/breakfast bar. It is open plan to the triple aspect dining area with French doors to a ‘sunken' terrace. There is also a cloaks area with exposed beams that continue into the contemporary shower room. The impressive dual aspect first bedroom has a vaulted and beamed ceiling while the other bedroom is accessed from the secondary staircase.

The stable door entrance to the barn opens directly into the attractive lounge with a fitted kitchen area and leads to the shower room and two double bedrooms. There is also a spacious summerhouse with a decked terrace overlooking farmland, a pergola covered alfresco dining area and a large hot tub as well as paths to the south facing rear garden with its wildlife pond and lawn. An adjacent gravel drive is currently rented on a three year lease.

What the Owner says:

We have thoroughly enjoyed living in this gorgeous property for the past few years. However we now feel it is time to start a new chapter in our lives. It is very quiet and peaceful and, being a cul-de-sac, is also safe for children and pets. St Nicholas at Wade is a friendly village surrounded by countryside yet is only moments from the road into Canterbury and the Thanet Way for access to London. There is a good primary school and two pub/restaurants as well as a 13th century church and a village shop/post office.
