Church Lane, Barham, Canterbury, Kent, CT4

An attractive semi-detached home with carport parking, positioned on the edge of Barham, a highly sought-after and picturesque village set within the Kent Downs AONB. The property is part of an exclusive development of just ten homes, tucked away within a private close off Church Lane and constructed in 2021 by the well-regarded developer, Roddy Homes.

This charming home boasts a white weatherboarded façade with red roof tiles, creating an appealing cottage-style exterior. The front door opens into a generous entrance hall, where a door straight ahead leads to a spacious ground floor WC, and a door to the left opens into the main living space.

The ground floor offers a superb open-plan kitchen, dining and living area, perfectly suited to modern living and entertaining. French doors open directly onto the garden, allowing for an abundance of natural light. The L-shaped layout extends across the width and depth of the house, cleverly designed to provide distinct zones while maintaining a cosy feel, with the sitting area tucked neatly around the corner.

The kitchen is fitted with a range of sleek white gloss wall and base units, complemented by grey stone-effect worktops and a breakfast bar that subtly separates the kitchen from the dining area. Integrated appliances include a fridge/freezer, dishwasher, Zanussi oven with induction hob, and washing machine.

Returning to the entrance hall, stairs rise to the first floor, featuring an attractive glass and wood balustrade that enhances the home’s contemporary finish. There is also a useful storage cupboard beneath the stairs.

Upstairs, there are three bedrooms and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom, located at the front, benefits from fitted wardrobes, a deep storage cupboard, and a stylish en-suite shower room with a large rainfall shower. The second bedroom, overlooking the rear garden, is a small double with fitted wardrobes, while the third is a well-proportioned single room, ideal as a child’s bedroom or home office. A further large cupboard on the landing currently accommodates a tumble dryer.

Externally, the rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped for ease of maintenance. Two patio seating areas provide excellent space for outdoor entertaining, with the rear patio enhanced by a wooden pergola adorned with climbing plants. A side gate leads to a secure, gated courtyard area, offering additional parking or storage options. Subject to the necessary consents, this space could potentially be incorporated into the garden to create a larger outdoor area.

The property benefits from ample parking, including a carport, additional space to the front of the house, and visitor parking within the development.
