Situation
Greenwood Slip occupies a particularly desirable position within Slip Lane, one of Alkham's most sought-after village settings. Surrounded by the rolling countryside of the Alkham Valley, the village is renowned for its scenic walks, riding and cycling routes, with a welcoming community centred around the village pub and restaurant overlooking the cricket ground and park. A community hall, regular local activities and equestrian centre add to the appeal, while the nearby Channel Port of Dover provides a range of shopping, recreational and educational facilities. Folkestone is approximately four miles away, with its vibrant town centre, restaurants and coffee shops, while Canterbury is readily accessible via the A2. Excellent commuter connections are also available from Folkestone and Dover, including the high-speed rail service to London St Pancras. The Eurotunnel (approx. 10 mins distant) and the Port of Dover provide easy access to the continent.

The Property
A welcoming entrance porch opens into a generous reception hall, with a blend of parquet and engineered oak flooring extending throughout much of the ground floor. The spacious sitting room provides an inviting focal point with its exposed brick fireplace and wood-burning stove, while beyond lies a sociable open-plan dining room leading into a striking garden room. With exposed beams, a vaulted ceiling and attractive views over the garden, this exceptional space creates a wonderful sense of light and volume. The impressive kitchen/breakfast room is comprehensively fitted with contemporary-style cabinetry, complemented by Corian and oak block work surfaces and a useful range of integrated NEFF appliances with an induction hob and Corian splashback. A breakfast bar provides an ideal informal space for everyday dining, while a cloakroom and separate utility room add further practicality. The utility room also provides access to the integral garage and garden. On the first floor, a spacious galleried landing leads to four well-proportioned bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with ensuite facilities and Hammonds wardrobes fitted to bedroom three. A well-appointed family bathroom, incorporating Jack and Jill access, serves the remaining bedrooms.
