Homes that can generate a regular income are increasingly in demand these days, this characteristic former school house with a smart adjoining annexe has done so consistently, -- Adam Howell

#TheGardenOfEngland

A distinctive former school house with several intriguing features in an exceptional village location, with outstanding far reaching views and a particularly well arranged annexe adjoining the main house.

This thoroughly charming home has been carefully reconfigured over time to retain an array of wonderful original features combined with bright open reception rooms fit for modern day living.

Superbly positioned close to the heart of the village it affords tremendous views across rolling farmland and swift access to some of Kent’s very best countryside and the City of Canterbury combined.

A double height vaulted sitting room is a particularly special space to enjoy, complimented by a more formal dining room and a sociable kitchen/breakfast room, plus a downstairs cloakroom, a study, and the useful boot room and rear porch.

The current layout provides four bedrooms in the main house, with three comfortable rooms on the first floor including the primary bedroom which has its own ensuite shower room, a main four-piece bathroom, and a further bedroom positioned on the ground floor.

The annexe is cleverly arranged with a 29ft open plan living space downstairs and two double bedrooms either side of the bathroom on the first floor, access is possible either completely independently of the School House or via the rear gardens, the annexe also has its own small secure garden.

It has consistently performed well - -attracting a broad range of guests looking to take advantage of this glorious location, but could equally appeal to families looking for independent multi-generational living, the property is unlisted and holds the possible option to combine the two dwellings should the need occur.

Situation

The peaceful North Downs village of Waltham is surrounded by outstanding countryside, with numerous walks and rides in the immediate vicinity.

The area is surprisingly convenient for access to the City of Canterbury with its cultural interests, Universities and retail shopping facilities. School buses run throughout the wider area and can be used to access schools both in the State and Independent sectors, including some excellent primary schools as well as grammar schools for boys and girls.

Major travel links in the surrounding area include access to the A2/M2 motorway, Channel Tunnel near Folkestone and HS1 stations at Ashford and Canterbury, along with local mainline stations including Chartham.
