A deceptively spacious cottage style mid-terrace house that exudes light, peace and tranquillity, with a delightful south facing garden. Backing on to farmland and open countryside with spectacular views all around you, this is truly an area of outstanding natural beauty.

Enjoy fabulous countryside walks right on your doorstep, while still being just a short drive from the historic city of Canterbury. The surrounding area is dotted with picturesque Kent villages, including the ever-popular Wye—home to three excellent pubs and convenient links to Ashford and the high-speed train into London. This location combines idyllic rural living with excellent accessibility.

Step inside this charming home through a practical front porch/boot room into a hallway with polished walnut floors, offering a beautiful view straight through to the rear garden.

The sitting room is cosy, complete with an open fireplace, while the bright country-style kitchen and dining room open directly onto the rear terrace and garden, perfect for entertaining or relaxed family living.

Upstairs, there are two spacious double bedrooms and a single bedroom, along with a pretty bathroom with large windows overlooking the rear garden. The home combines a traditional cottage feel with generously sized rooms. The upstairs bedrooms benefit from a flying freehold, which also provides gated access from a shared passageway at the rear.

Outside, the gardens are a true highlight.
The front garden is attractive and well-maintained, with a neat lawn surrounded by colourful perennials behind a classic white picket fence. The rear garden extends beyond a terrace, offering a private spot for outdoor dining among flowers, with mature shrubs and trees providing shade and seclusion. The generous plot also allows for the possibility of a rear extension (subject to planning permission) without taking up too much garden space. There is access through the garden to an adjacent off-street parking space (locally agreed if required), although the layby at the front is rarely unavailable.

Location and amenities
Waltham is an unspoilt village, partially within a conservation area, set in some of the most stunning countryside on the North Downs and in the Weald of Kent. The village has a hall, park, and the historic St Bartholomew’s Church. Excellent primary schools nearby include Petham, Bodsham, and Wye, the latter also offering a free school and local amenities including a One Stop shop and links to Ashford International (fast train to London in 37 minutes).

For commuters, there are two mainline railway stations with high-speed Javelin trains from Canterbury West to Ebbsfleet, Stratford, and St Pancras International in under an hour. The historic city of Canterbury is just a few minutes’ drive away, and the Channel Tunnel is around 20 minutes by car, offering a perfect mix of peaceful rural living with excellent connections.
