Mulberry Croft, Mulberry Hill, Chilham

A charming three-bedroom detached cottage, nestled within a gated plot of approximately 0.25 acres, set in a stunning rural location. Mulberry Croft boasts beautifully landscaped gardens and breathtaking panoramic views across the surrounding countryside.

Having undergone numerous sympathetic improvements in recent years, the property now offers exceptionally spacious and flexible living accommodation, perfectly blending character with modern comfort. Additionally, there remains significant potential to further enhance the home, with the opportunity to convert the garage (subject to planning permission) to create additional living space, tailored to your needs.

The ground floor is centred around a welcoming entrance hall, providing access to the principal living spaces. To one side, a well-proportioned living room enjoys a bright dual aspect and direct access outside, creating an ideal space for both relaxing and entertaining. Adjacent, the dining room is similarly generous in size and features doors opening to the garden, allowing for a seamless indoor-outdoor flow.

The kitchen is positioned to the rear and is well arranged, with convenient access from the dining room and hallway, offering a practical and functional layout. A ground floor bedroom provides excellent flexibility, whether used as guest accommodation, a home office, or for multi-generational living, and is served by a nearby bathroom and separate shower room.

Upstairs, the first floor comprises two further bedrooms. The principal bedroom is particularly spacious, extending across a significant footprint, while the second bedroom is also of generous proportion.

OUTSIDE:

Mulberry Croft features a gated driveway with a carport and adjoining storage room, offering excellent potential for conversion into additional living space, subject to planning consent.

The garden wraps elegantly around the house, designed to showcase stunning panoramic views with multiple inviting seating areas throughout. The lower garden is tiered, featuring alfresco dining beneath shaded pergolas and a dedicated hot tub area with electricity and plumbing in place. Fruit trees line the newly installed wooden fencing, adding both beauty and harvest.

Across the driveway, the garden is mainly laid to lawn, anchored by a magnificent walnut tree and providing a wonderful play area for children. At the top sits a charming log cabin perfectly positioned to enjoy the views, with a well-established vegetable patch and herb garden behind it. Beyond the fence, a wild meadow pathway attracts insects and butterflies, enhancing the natural appeal.

This thoughtfully landscaped garden is a true asset to Mulberry Croft, reflecting the passion and care of the current owners.
