Description

A stunning period barn conversion home, set in a peaceful rural position to the south of Canterbury. Originally a granary for the neighbouring farm, the property retains beautiful original details and features extensive accommodation whilst benefitting from a self-contained 3 bedroom cottage, ideal as an annexe or rental property.

THE GRANGE
Set beneath a spacious covered porch the front door opens to an entrance hall with a tiled floor. Beyond, the open plan layout of the central range links the two wings of the building and provides an impressive kitchen and dining/family room at the heart of the home. This fantastic space is the perfect hub for day-to-day family life with a vaulted ceiling and exposed brick and flint walls. The kitchen is arranged around a vast island providing both a practical and sociable arrangement with an open outlook to the courtyard and gardens. There is ample space for a large table, as the room is currently arranged, as well as for a sitting area if desired.

The beautiful, thatched wing of the house is home to a comfortable sitting room and a generous double aspect drawing room. Both showcase the fabulous timber-framed structure of the building, and French doors from the drawing room open to the gardens at the side of the house.

A useful utility room and a cloakroom are set off a reception hall from which stairs rise to three bedrooms. The principal bedroom is a dramatic, vaulted space with exposed beams and an en suite bathroom. The remaining bedrooms are comfortable rooms, full of character and served by a shower room. A fourth bedroom is situated on the ground floor with a Jack and Jill bathroom providing a versatile guest or accessible bedroom suite.

To the end of the other wing is a fantastic garden room or studio, fully glazed to the rear elevation and lit from above by roof lights. A door gives access to the garage, a store, cloakroom and the covered porch in turn. A spiral staircase rises to a mezzanine study space and store room beyond. Two inter linking attic rooms and en suite bathroom give further potential and a further staircase returns to the hall

BARN END COTTAGE
Located, as its name suggests, at the end of the thatched barn; the cottage is a self-contained property spacious enough to provide a comfortable home for family. It has also operated as a holiday let or could provide longer term rental income.

The cottage provides well presented accommodation, comprising a generous sitting room and kitchen with three double bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a shower room.

The Grange is approached via an in and out driveway which sweeps around an expanse of lawn giving plenty of parking space in front of the covered porch/carport and garage. A further garage sits closer to the entrance to the drive.

The gardens stretch away from the house and are laid to lawn interspersed with mature trees giving a parklike vista to the farmland beyond. The mature setting provides a peaceful backdrop to the house. There is a green house and orchard as well as a wildlife pond.

Close to the house, the sheltered courtyard provides a fantastic spot in which to relax or entertain.

A rear drive leads to Barn End Cottage where there is a garage and parking. In front of the cottage is a terrace which also enjoys views across the garden.

The Grange and Barn End Cottage are in a beautiful rural setting, surrounded by the stunning rolling countryside of the Kent Downs National Landscape and between the villages of Petham and Chartham.

Petham has a local primary school and a village hall, while further everyday amenities can be found in Chartham, including a local shop, a doctors’ surgery and a village pub. Historic Canterbury is less than five miles to the north, with its excellent selection of shops, supermarkets, leisure and cultural facilities, as well as a variety of superb educational establishments.

The property is well connected by road, with the A2 providing access to the M2, while Canterbury West station provides services to London St Pancras in less than an hour. The are has good access to the Continent via Eurotunnel and the Port of Dover.
