Cockering Road, Chartham, Canterbury, Kent, CT4

Hidden from view and set down a track is this pretty and unique property which has the benefit of a secluded and enclosed garden in this rural setting but with the convenience of Canterbury City Centre being a fairly short drive to all amenities. Readily accessible via public footpaths as far as a supermarket as well as the footpath to Chartham village.

From the Cockering Road, turn off and go down the long drive which passes between two small paddocks to a secure pair of large wooden gates and into your own property.

You will find on entering the property that there is plenty of charm and cosiness, with lovely views across the field and garden from some of the rooms, and you can appreciate the privacy with the property being set within its own grounds.

The main living area has been extended to provide two spacious rooms, one which incorporates a dining area zone and has large windows looking across the adjacent field, and the second reception room has a log burner and French doors to open and enjoy the rear garden area.

This whole area is light and airy and captures the agricultural barn style roots of the building with high vaulted ceilings and wonderful views over paddocks and garden.

The kitchen is in a classic style with several under counter storage cupboards and pretty coloured tiling, overlooking the paddock, included is the integrated appliances which are an oven, hob, dishwasher, fridge/freezer and washing machine.

The property has two double bedrooms. The bathroom includes a large shower and bath with a large wet room shower area with a floor to ceiling glass deflector screen, there is also an additional cloakroom in between the bedrooms with wc and handbasin.

The utility room houses the tumble dryer and ample drying/storage space and the oil fired boiler.

The good size garden is mainly laid to lawn and is somewhat of a sun trap but with additional shaded areas should you need to retire from the midday sun. There is a shed and decking area.

An open plan barn was designed as a double garage with adjacent large enclosed storage area with separate access and beyond that is a separate insulated block building with light and power set up as a home office.

Separately there is a large detached brick building divided into two rooms with internal adjoining doorway. One is a workshop and storage for tractor mower and the other room was previously used as a games room with a pool table.

Surrounding the property are the grounds which total just under three acres and comprise of one large paddock, and two smaller paddocks.
