Elham

Situation

The Orchards is an attractive and peaceful cul-de-sac of similar homes, set just off Duck Street and within easy walking distance of the village amenities, including a soon-to-open enlarged village store.

Elham is situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, enjoying a particularly convenient position. The property is bordered only by footpaths and lies within approximately 150 metres of Elham Primary School and the recreation ground, while the church and village centre are just 200 metres away.

The excellent village pub, the Kings Arms, is only a 2-minute walk away on the square. The property is also ideally placed for commuters, being approximately a 15-minute drive from Folkestone West station, which offers fast and regular services into London.

Property

Constructed of brick beneath a tiled roof, this property has been the subject of extensive refurbishment by the current owner, who has carefully restored and enhanced the home to create a stylish and characterful family residence, retaining many of its original features.

The former rear store has been thoughtfully converted into an impressive, vaulted kitchen with exposed beam work, creating additional space for a separate breakfast room and cloakroom/WC.

The former dining room now serves as the principal living area, centred around a wood-burning stove which provides a warm focal point and the main source of heating for the cottage.

In addition, there is a cosy sitting room with an attractive fireplace, offering a more intimate space in which to relax. Stairs rise from the spacious entrance hall to the first-floor landing, which gives access to two generous double bedrooms, a single bedroom and a contemporary shower room, all presented in a modern and stylish finish.

The gardens extend to the front, side and rear of the property and are attractively stocked with a wide variety of flowering shrubs, plants and climbers, providing colour and interest throughout the seasons.

The generous rear garden has been thoughtfully arranged as a series of distinct outdoor "rooms", creating a variety of spaces for relaxation and entertaining.

Partially shaded and interspersed with separate seating areas, the garden offers a delightful sense of privacy and character, together with access to a garden shed.
