An impressive and beautifully refurbished four bedroom home, believed to have been built circa 1920 and thoughtfully updated in recent years. Set on a substantial ¼ acre south-facing plot, the property boasts a 50ft frontage and is positioned well back from the quiet, private road. Located in the highly desirable Chestfield area, the property offers a rare sense of space, privacy, and tranquillity, all whilst being within easy reach of local amenities as well as Canterbury, Tankerton, Whitstable, and Herne Bay, with fast rail links to London nearby.
The entrance hall offers underfloor heating, extensive storage including fitted shelving, under-stairs cupboards, and an additional built-in utility room plus large storage cupboard. The utility area provides space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer, and houses a high-efficiency mains gas combination boiler. The ground floor shower room is finished with stylish exposed brick detailing and features a wireless quadrant shower, WC, basin and underfloor heating. A sliding barn door leads to the spacious lounge, with a picture window overlooking the front garden and features a full length oak slat wall. Large format cement wall tile detailing surrounds the triple aspect log burner, with sliding doors leading into the kitchen. The heart of the home is the stunning open-plan kitchen and dining area, thoughtfully designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen boasts bespoke solid oak inset cabinetry, complemented by a micro-cement worktop. High-end integrated appliances include Neff full-sized double ovens with slide-and-hide doors, a Smeg six-ring induction hob, a Miele dishwasher, and a Caple stainless steel sink with matching drainer and underfloor heating. The dining area is flooded with natural light, with two sets of triple bi-fold doors opening directly onto the south-facing garden and patio, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. A large opening roof light further enhances the sense of space and brightness. Upstairs, a generous landing is lit by a sun tunnel and offers access to a fully insulated and boarded loft, ideal for additional storage. All four bedrooms are well-proportioned, with the master and second bedroom featuring built-in wardrobes and patio doors opening onto glass Juliet balconies, offering uninterrupted views across the garden and surrounding farmland. The family bathroom is stylishly finished with Venetian plaster, inset lighting, and a sun tunnel. It includes both a corner bath and separate shower, controlled via a modern Mira wireless system for convenience and comfort. There is scope for extension (subject to the necessary consents) as a number of planning applications have been approved but subsequently lapsed. The wrap-around gardens back directly onto open farmland, creating a peaceful rural feel, with distant sea views from the front. Modern features such as solar panels and an electric vehicle charging point complement the homes blend of character and contemporary comfort.
The front garden is approached via a grass verge and a large driveway for several vehicles, finished with limestone chippings. A screen of evergreen trees and solid oak fencing provides privacy to the front aspect, with double gates leading to the garage. Mature Cherry and Plum trees border the lawn and a resin-bound gravel path leads to the front entrance, framed by a solid oak covered porch that echoes the oak beam accents found throughout the exterior. To the side, there is a matching oak shed and pergola overhead, and the resin-bound path leads to a detached, versatile outbuilding ideal for use as a gym, studio, and/or home office with heating and air conditioning. The rear garden is equally well-appointed, with established trees, a large resin-bound patio area, covered gazebo, and dedicated trampoline space. A rear gate opens directly onto fields with public footpaths, ideal for countryside walks and exploring the local area.
