Description

Property Description: Guide Price £600,000 - £650,000. Nestled in a peaceful village location, this enchanting Grade II listed thatched cottage presents a rare opportunity to own a piece of English heritage overlooking a beautiful 13th century church and surrounded by rolling countryside. Steeped in history, the cottage has a wealth of original features including an impressive Inglenook fireplace with an original bread oven, exposed brickwork and timber beams throughout. These details are complemented by thoughtful modern touches, making it a perfect balance of old world charm and contemporary living.

The dual aspect dining room provides a great space for entertaining, complete with a cosy log burner, while the inviting living room centres around the Inglenook fireplace, creating a peaceful retreat to enjoy with family and friends.

The country style kitchen/breakfast room is both charming and practical, fitted with a Brittania Range cooker, a Qettle instant hot water tap, two integrated fridges, a freezer and a dishwasher, as well as a door out to the rear garden.

Upstairs, the property has three double bedrooms, two with fitted wardrobes. The stylish family shower room features a rainfall shower and there is also a convenient ground floor cloakroom. Planning permission has previously been granted for alterations to the roof to allow for a first floor side extension to add an en-suite bathroom to the bedroom.

Outside: The stunning, mature garden has been lovingly maintained by the current owners and showcases a spectacular variety of trees, shrubs, and flowers. An immaculate lawn leads to a delightful garden room, ideal for relaxing or working from home. A true highlight, the garden has proudly featured in the National Garden Scheme for an impressive 27 years.

For those seeking further potential, the property includes a double, timber framed garage complete with a shower room and storage above. This space has the potential to be converted into a two storey annexe, subject to the necessary planning permissions. There is also driveway parking for three cars.

Location: This charming property is situated within a conservation area in the picturesque village of Womenswold. Located between Canterbury and Dover, this small parish combines historical character with the natural beauty of the North Downs. Womenswold is part of a cluster of settlements that includes Woolage Green and Woolage Village, forming a quiet, close-knit community surrounded by farmland and ancient woodland. Its rural setting makes it ideal for walkers and cyclists, with access to a network of footpaths, bridleways, and scenic routes like the North Downs Way. The village itself is steeped in history, with origins tracing back to the Domesday Book. Its most notable landmark is the Church of St. Margaret, a Grade II* listed building that showcases Norman architectural features and stands as a testament to the area's rich heritage. Canterbury lies just 7.5 miles away with its excellent shopping centre and fantastic choice of private and public schools and famous universities and colleges. Transport connections are also good with easy access to the A2 and nearby Aylesham train station or travel to Canterbury West train station where it operates the high speed train to London St. Pancras. Le Shuttle and the Port of Dover both operate regular services to the continent.
