Westerfield is an impressive, detached period home with tremendously well-balanced accommodation ideal for family living, with natural oak finishes and mellow brickwork adding a great sense of warmth and comfort. The garden is set up for country living with useful outbuildings, and plenty of room for entertaining family and guests. The property is in a rural setting with charming views over adjoining fields and beyond, and within easy reach of the popular town of Sandwich, the beautiful Kent coast and the historic city of Canterbury.

The property has planning permission for a rear/side single storey extension that would enlarge the kitchen, details of which can be found on Dover District Council’s planning portal, ref: 23/01370.

There are four main formal reception rooms on the ground floor, three of which sit at the front of the property, benefitting from a sunny south-facing aspect. These include the sitting room with a bay window, open fireplace, cornicing and ornate ceiling rose. There is also a useful home study with a log burner. The adjoining comfortable snug features plantation shutters over the windows and French doors opening to the garden.

Towards the rear there is a formal dining room, while the open-plan kitchen and breakfast room also provides space for a large family dining in front of the handsome inglenook fireplace. The kitchen itself has an array of fitted units and wooden worktops, as well as a split butler sink and a range cooker. The adjacent utility room offers further space for home storage and appliances, as does the cellar, which is accessed via a hatch in the snug.

Stairs lead to the first floor landing, off which there are four well-appointed double bedrooms of similar proportions. These include the generous principal bedroom, which has a generous en suite bathroom with a freestanding, roll-top bathtub, dual washbasins and a separate shower. The first floor also benefits from a family bathroom.

The second floor provides an additional, well-proportioned double bedroom with a contemporary freestanding bathtub and a separate large shower enclosure. A further shower room can be found on the ground floor.

A driveway at the side of the house provides access to a large parking area towards the rear, with space for several vehicles.

The garden is mostly located towards the rear of the house and includes a spacious, split-level patio area for al fresco dining, with rolling lawns beyond, bordered by established hedgerows and mature trees.

The gardens and grounds also include a vegetable patch, a hand built Victorian glass house, a stable, a field shelter and a timber-framed summer house with its own verandah, providing the ideal spot in which to enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

Surrounded by beautiful Kent countryside, the property is situated on the outskirts of Woodnesborough village, between Eastry and Ash. Ash provides a good range of local services, including a small supermarket, Post Office, pubs and schools. The property sits within the catchment area of several grammar and independent schools. The award winning Updown Hotel and Restaurant is nearby.

The ancient medieval Cinque Port of Sandwich offers a further range of amenities, as does the cathedral city of Canterbury with its excellent leisure, shopping and educational facilities. The Kent coast is within easy reach, and links golf can be enjoyed at the Royal Cinque Ports Golf Club and the world-famous Royal St George’s.

Communication links are excellent, with the A256 linking directly with the A2 to Dover, which in turn links directly with the A2/M2 and the A20/M20. There are High-Speed rail services to London from both Sandwich and Canterbury. The area has good access to Continental Europe via the Channel Tunnel at Folkestone and the Port of Dover.
