Pett Bottom, CT4

A beautifully presented gated three-bedroom detached cottage set in the peaceful rural hamlet of Pett Bottom, surrounded by open fields, gardens and countryside.

The Old Stables is full of charm and character, blending the warmth of a traditional country cottage with stylish modern living. Exposed beams feature throughout, bringing texture, history and personality to the rooms, while the impressive mezzanine levels create a sense of space and individuality rarely found in homes of this kind. The property is approached through a gated entrance onto a generous stone driveway, with a large front garden giving an immediate sense of privacy and arrival.

Inside, the home has been thoughtfully arranged to make the most of its character features and open layout. The spectacular kitchen and dining area is a standout space, finished in a sleek modern style with warm wood cabinetry, white worktops and lovely views out to the garden. The contrast between the contemporary finish and the cottage’s original-style beams gives the room a particularly inviting feel. There is also a spacious lounge, a further sitting/dining room, three double bedrooms and two stylish bathrooms, including an ensuite.

The mezzanine level looks over the lounge area and adds a wonderful extra dimension to the home, with its exposed timbers and elevated outlook creating a cosy yet open family area. This space works beautifully as a second sitting room, snug, playroom or relaxed work-from-home area, with an additional bathroom and useful flexible accommodation making it ideal for guests, older children or anyone needing a quiet retreat away from the main living spaces.

Outside, the garden and driveway create a private and attractive approach to the house, with plenty of parking and space to enjoy the setting. The surrounding countryside gives the property a peaceful, tucked-away feel while Canterbury remains within easy reach for shops, restaurants, schools, rail links and everyday amenities.

The Old Stables is an ideal home for anyone looking for a character cottage with modern interiors, flexible living space and a genuinely rural setting close to Canterbury.
