Farncombe Way, Whitfield, Dover, CT16 3NT

OPEN HOUSE | Saturday 21st November | 10am–11am

If I were showing you around this two bedroom home on Farncombe Way, I’d suggest coming in the early afternoon. Open the double doors from the kitchen/diner and you’ll see why. The landscaped rear garden faces west, catching the afternoon and evening sun. It’s a lovely spot to bring your dinner outside or enjoy the last of the sunshine when you get home from work.

The approach is through a lawned front garden, with a path leading to the entrance porch. Once inside, the living room measures approximately 14ft by 13ft 7in. What I particularly like here is the way it connects to the kitchen/diner. Folding doors let you open the rooms up when friends are over, then close them again when you want to settle down with a film.

The kitchen/diner runs to approximately 14ft, with space to sit down and eat together. Having the garden just beyond the double doors makes it easy to take lunch outside on a warm day. At the far end of the garden, a gate gives access to the garage, with a further area beyond used for parking. That rear access is handy when you’re bringing bikes home or putting the garden furniture away for winter.

Upstairs, the main bedroom measures approximately 11ft 4in by 10ft 10in. The second measures approximately 10ft 8in by 7ft 5in, giving you options for a child’s bedroom, a guest room or a dedicated home office. The bathroom is also on this floor and includes a bath. Altogether, the home offers approximately 613 sq ft over two storeys.

Whitfield is a growing village on the outskirts of Dover, with plenty already on hand. There’s a village hall and recreation ground, Tesco Extra and Lidl for the weekly shop, and Dover District Leisure Centre for an early swim or a session in the gym. For anyone thinking about secondary education, Dover is home to both Dover Grammar School for Boys and Dover Grammar School for Girls.

One of my picks for a Sunday morning would be Kearsney Abbey. You can walk around the lakes, stop for a coffee and carry on across the road to Russell Gardens. When you fancy some sea air, the clifftop path at the White Cliffs of Dover takes you towards South Foreland Lighthouse with views across the Channel.

The A2 is within easy reach, and the Port of Dover is convenient for a weekend across the Channel. For days in London, you have a choice of stations. Kearsney has direct trains to London Victoria, while Dover Priory offers high-speed services to London St Pancras International.

Whether you’re buying your first home or looking to downsize and still want a garden and garage, I’d love to show you around. To arrange a viewing, please quote AL 1639 when calling.
