A rare opportunity to take over the completion of an exciting development project, set within approximately 5.12 acres, in one of East Kent's most beautiful and secluded locations. Formerly two timber-framed cottages, originally built for wood cutters serving the Mount Ephraim Estate & woodland, Acorn Cottage has since been combined into one detached three storey house and significantly extended to approximately 3800 sq. ft. The current construction position is all the structural works have been completed and the shell is watertight just leaving the internal fitout to be completed.

Furthermore, the structure of the property has been significantly improved during the first phase of its development, including new foundations and traditional brick and blockwork to the lower floors, whilst on the upper floor they have kept the original timber frame (this has been chemically treated for wood rot) then they built a second timber wall and tile hung the outside.

The end result is an attractive yet traditionally styled exterior, ready for someone to come in and complete the interior to their own bespoke design and specification. The property could also be further enhanced with the addition of a garage block, comprising a two bay garage, a plant room and a first floor storage area and office. Architects plans have been drawn up for this, but not submitted for planning.

The site is not served by mains gas, however a power and water supply have both been laid on to the site, along with a Kingspan Klargester for treatment of waste water and a rainwater harvest system has been set up to supply water to the toilet flushes and the outside taps, ensuring superb water conservation.

There are two gated entrances to the site, which provide both security and a high degree of seclusion, whilst the property is surrounded by open fields and rolling countryside on one side and beautiful ancient woodlands to the remaining three sides.

The property is situated in an exceptionally private and secluded woodland setting, yet within easy reach of Faversham, Canterbury & Whitstable.

AGENT'S NOTE: The EPC rating is taken from an historic EPC which was carried out prior to the works which the current owner has completed at the property.

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
