Shalmsford Street, Chartham

Guide price £250,000 - £275,000.

A charming and beautifully presented two-bedroom cottage with a delightful garden and off-road parking for two vehicles. Situated in the desirable village of Chartham, close to Canterbury, the village offers a warm sense of community, stunning countryside, woodland, river and lakeside walks and is conveniently positioned just off the A28, ensuring quick and easy access into both Canterbury and Ashford.

This pretty cottage is perfect for those looking for their first home or to downsize without having to do any work - you can simply move straight in and start enjoying life in your new home. From the moment you step inside, the atmosphere is warm and inviting, with light-filled rooms, calming neutral tones and thoughtfully designed spaces.

On the ground floor, you enter into an impressive open-plan sitting and dining room, immediately giving you a feeling of space. Natural light fills the room from the charming bay window which has a bespoke seating area, creating a warm and sunny nook to enjoy a coffee or a good book equally appreciated by the current owners and their beloved cocker spaniel! This generous open plan space is perfect for both relaxing and entertaining friends and family.

The space flows seamlessly into the kitchen, keeping the two rooms connected. The kitchen is contemporary, combining sleek cabinetry with stylish worktops, complemented by a tiled splashback. It has been cleverly designed to make the most of the available space with plenty of storage available and there is an integrated fridge and an oven with an electric hob. The kitchen leads into an incredibly useful garden room, where the owners have made fantastic use of the space, having added cabinets and using it as an extension of the kitchen. Here, you will find space for a freezer and washing machine. It`s a practical space, providing a useful buffer from the outdoors, ideal for muddy boots, drying laundry and additional storage.

Also on the ground floor, you will find a beautifully appointed bathroom, decorated in warm neutral tones. Fitted with a stylish suite consisting of a bath with both a rainfall and handheld shower, vanity unit wash basin, WC and heated towel rail.

Upstairs, there are two well-proportioned bedrooms. The main bedroom to the front is a generous double, and the second room provides an adaptable room, designed to evolve with changing lifestyles. The current owners have created a superb combination dressing room and home office having added extensive freestanding wardrobes. These are very deep and if they were to be removed, the room would comfortably house a double bed.

OUTSIDE:

To the rear of the cottage is a very pretty, landscaped garden, designed to be an enjoyable low-maintenance space full of colourful bedding plants. A paved terrace provides a wonderful spot for a bit of alfresco dining or relaxing and steps lead up to a lawned area. Enclosed by fencing adorned by climbing plants and with only the parking area and trees beyond, the garden enjoys plenty of privacy. A gate leads out to your parking area, where you can park two vehicles in tandem. In addition to this, there is a large shed for storage. For those who want a larger garden, there is the option to extend the garden further into your parking area and to the back fence.

LOCATION:

The property enjoys a convenient location within the village, within walking distance of the local shops, primary school and Firs nursery. Situated just off the A28 commuter route, Chartham is an ideal area to base yourself for quick and easy access into Canterbury and Ashford and for those who need to commute into London, the village has a mainline train station where you can catch direct services into the capital. There is also a bus service, with buses running into both Canterbury and Ashford.

The village itself has a warm sense of community, centred around the church and village hall where you will be able to get involved with groups, classes and social activities and there are two pubs, both serving delicious food.

There are plenty of stunning countryside and woodland walks, accessible from your doorstep and wonderful cycling routes. You have a cycle path which runs along the River Stour straight into Canterbury, perfect for a leisurely bike ride on a summer`s day
