Lake House is wonderfully sited at the top of mature gardens which run down to the glorious lake from which the house takes its name. The current owner has refurbished the house during their ownership to create light open spaces in which to enjoy family life.

The accommodation radiates off a central hall with a sitting room to one end occupying the full depth of the house and with a large fireplace housing a wood burner to one corner. French doors open to the garden.

The kitchen/breakfast room stretches across the back of the house and is fitted with a range of shaker style units providing good storage. It enjoys the use of a separate pantry, boot room and utility room. The adjacent family room has two sets of double doors to the decked rear terrace offering the ideal space for entertaining. A peaceful study to the front of the house, with an array of fitted desks and storage, provides a superb work space.

Stairs rise to the first floor and a bright, spacious landing. The large principal suite is triple aspect and enjoys the use of an en suite bathroom and a dressing room. A door from the dressing room returns to the landing, giving flexibility should a further bedroom be required. Bedroom 2 is also en suite and is filled with light having a large dormer window with views across the garden. The two remaining bedrooms are well served by the family bathroom.

Lake House is situated in the picturesque hamlet of Mystole. The nearby villages of Chilham and Wye offer an array of amenities and mainline railway stations with services to Ashford and Canterbury. The High-speed service from Ashford International provides links to London St Pancras from 36 minutes. Road connections are also excellent, with the M20 and A2/M2 offering links to the major motorway networks.

Nearby Canterbury offers a wealth of cultural and leisure facilities Excellent schools in the vicinity include King’s School, St Edmund’s School and the Simon Langton grammar schools.

Opportunities for outdoor activities such as walking, cycling and horse riding are easily available on the Kent Downs (AONB), renowned for its stunning scenery.

A driveway leads to extensive parking adjacent to the house and coach house. The gardens stretch out to the lake and are laid to lawn interspersed with some beautiful, mature trees. The lake provides a magical and rarely found backdrop to the lifestyle offered by this well situated country house.

The Coach House is a substantial building over 2 floors. Providing some 1,500sq ft of space, the building offers great potential to create further accommodation, home working space or storage, subject to any necessary consents.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on September 29, 2022

    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: obtained from Ofcom on September 29, 2022

    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
