A particularly appealing opportunity to enjoy the best of country living within easy reach of Wye. -- Greg Wood, Director

#TheGardenOfEngland

An especially handsome un-listed detached cottage, quietly positioned along a country lane on the outskirts of Wye, with beautifully established gardens of around a third of an acre, excellent parking and a collection of charmingly proportioned reception rooms.

Withersdane Cottage occupies a wonderfully peaceful position along Withersdane Lane, a small and unspoilt lane on the edge of one of Kent’s most sought-after villages. Here, the surrounding countryside feels reassuringly close, yet the village centre remains within comfortable walking distance, with its well-regarded schools, pubs, doctors surgery and railway station providing connections to Canterbury and Ashford International.

The cottage has been thoughtfully maintained over the years and is presented in excellent order, with an appealing combination of traditional materials and comfortable, well-arranged accommodation. Its mellow red brick elevations, Kent peg-tiled roof and oak-framed entrance porch give the house a timeless character, while the ground floor has been extended to create a generous and versatile arrangement of living spaces.

Inside, a welcoming hallway leads through to the sitting room, a particularly inviting space centred around a wood-burning stove, with views and access to the garden. A further reception room offers flexibility as study, the kitchen enjoys a further log burning stove, while the kitchen is well proportioned and complemented by a useful adjoining utility room, with convenient access outside.

Upstairs, three bedrooms are served by a modern family bathroom. The outlook is especially pleasing, with far-reaching views across the neighbouring farmland towards the distinctive chalk escarpment of the North Downs, including the celebrated Wye Crown.

The gardens are a notable feature of the property, extending to approximately one third of an acre and providing an appealing degree of privacy. A generous brick-paved and sand stone terrace offers a natural setting for outdoor dining and entertaining, while mature trees, established borders and well-stocked beds bring colour and interest throughout the seasons. A magnificent beech tree takes centre stage, lending the garden a sense of maturity and providing welcome shelter and shade during the warmer months.

Practicality has been equally well considered. A detached double garage sits to the side of the cottage, with a further single garage positioned within the rear garden, also accessible by car if required. Together with the generous driveway parking, these provide excellent provision for vehicles, storage and hobbies.
