The Ridgeway, Boughton-under-Blean

A beautifully renovated two-bedroom semi detached home occupying an unusually large plot with attractive gardens to both the front and rear, this beautifully enhanced property has been fully renovated to an exceptional standard.

The current owner, with a keen eye for detail and a flair for interior design, has transformed the property into a stylish and inviting home. Internally, the house boasts a bespoke Howdens contemporary kitchen with sleek quartz worktops, a recently updated bathroom, a modern boiler, and many new radiators throughout.

Externally, an original outbuilding has been thoughtfully restored and upgraded with high levels of insulation and smart dark-framed patio doors, making it ideal as a home office, studio, guest room, or additional storage.

Originally built in the 1940s, the property is located on The Ridgeway in the highly sought-after village of Boughton. The village offers a range of amenities, including a shop, post office, two traditional pubs, and a well-regarded primary school. There are excellent bus links to both Faversham and Canterbury.

ACCOMMODATION:

A pretty front door opens into a spacious entrance hall featuring a beautifully stripped staircase balustrade. To the right, a generous open-plan living and dining area offers clearly defined zones for relaxing and entertaining. A characterful fireplace creates a striking focal point, while sliding double doors lead out to the sun terrace.

The thoughtfully designed Howdens kitchen makes excellent use of space, featuring pale cabinetry, quartz worktops, an integrated oven, induction hob, and stylish green metro tiles for a splash of colour and charm. High quality engineered floorboards have been laid and echo the same seamless flooring found in the living room.

Upstairs, there are two comfortable double bedrooms and a beautifully appointed bathroom, complete with a large bathtub and overhead thermostatic shower, WC, and basin. The room is finished with elegant marine blue metro tiles, adding a touch of sophistication.

OUTSIDE:

The home sits on a substantial corner plot with a large front and side gardenfully enclosed, making it ideal for children and pets. The lawn is bordered by mature hedging, offering privacy and a tranquil feel. There is scope to create off-street parking (subject to the necessary planning consents).

To the rear, a sunny breakfast terrace leads to the newly refurbished outbuilding, which has been cleverly divided into two sections: a practical storeroom and a beautifully appointed space that could serve as a home office or guest suite.
Beyond the terrace, the garden continues with a further expanse of lawn and a delightful, decked seating area, perfect for enjoying the evening sun.
