Guide Price £875,000

Situated in the village of Shepherdswell, in a quiet cul-de-sac, Ailanthus is a unique home that offers striking architecture. The property is tucked away at the end of a private driveway, within a large, well screened plot offering plenty of off street parking as well as an integral double garage.

Entering the front door you will find a large entrance hall with a statement staircase. Double doors lead to an exceptionally spacious living area opening onto the rear garden. Around a central fireplace, there is a generous sitting area with capacity to view a large TV screen and a dining area easily accommodating a twelve seater table. The open plan then extends to a modern fitted kitchen with plenty of storage and space for a family dining table. Beyond the kitchen is a utility room.

A further four rooms lead off the hall including a substantial room currently used as a study with a guest bed settee, and three double bedrooms with fitted storage, served by a family bathroom. The ground floor provides exceptional flexibility for every day family life as well as entertaining larger gatherings.

Beyond the study lie a second utility room and a cloakroom . A door leads to the integral garage, with access to a secluded room presently used as an office - ideal for homeworking.

On the first floor lies the master bedroom with an adjoining en-suite bathroom and a dressing room.

The balcony to the front offers exceptionally far reaching views across East Kent often accompanied by magnificent sunsets. The terrace to the rear provides views of the completely enclosed garden with its mature trees and thoughtfully planted borders.

Additional notes on the property to consider - The current owners received full planning permission for building a ground floor single storey extension on the side of the house, and a first floor rear extension. Only the ground floor work was undertaken (a new utility room) but the potential to revisit the first floor extension remains. Other options include the possibility of an independent annexe within the existing structure taking in the garage, office and adjacent cloakroom (all subject to relevant planning permission obtained).

The village has a primary school, with a preschool located in the village hall and a recreation ground for sport and children's play. There is a doctors surgery. The Bell, the village pub is situated by the village green, opposite the church. There is a Co-op mini supermarket. A 10 minute drive away takes you to the comprehensive shopping facilities at Whitfield where the Dover leisure centre is also located.

Shepherdswell's railway station and the readily accessible A2 provide strong links across the region including commuting to Dover, Canterbury and beyond via high speed trains.
