5 bedroom detached house
Key information
Property description & features
listed farmhouse, which has been the subject
of considerable expenditure during the current
vendors’ ownership. The mellow red-brick
elevations have been beautifully repointed and
form an enticing and welcoming arrival at the
house. During the restoration, great attention
to detail has been paid in preserving the many
features of the original building whilst, at the
same time, making it suitable for 21st century
living. The addition of the garden room has
allowed for a more flexible and informal living
space.
The lofty central hall, with its staircase to the
first-floor, leads to the drawing room, which
has a charming brick-built feature fireplace,
beams and an abundance of exposed brickwork.
Adjacent is the dining room with a striking
inglenook fireplace and terracotta tiled flooring;
a custom-built curved corner cupboard in
mellow oak gives generous storage. A door from
the dining room leads through to the office.
With its tall, vaulted ceiling, the farmhouse
kitchen/breakfast room forms the heart of
the house. The kitchen has been designed
by Thoroughly Wood, a well-respected local
joinery company, and comprises a wide range
of bespoke Shaker-style cabinetry with granite
worktops, an inset AGA range cooker, butler
sink and a circular breakfast area. A useful
utility room sits alongside. There is access to
a cloakroom off an inner lobby. Double doors
from here lead into the oak-framed garden
room, with two further sets of double doors
opening to a private terrace on one side and to
the converted gym on the other.
A study area is set on the first floor landing,
from where there is access to the principal
bedroom suite with a feature fireplace and an
en suite shower room, as well as two additional
bedrooms, one with a characterful fireplace
and the other with extensive bespoke built-in
wardrobes. There is also an attractive family
bathroom. The second floor comprises two
further well-proportioned bedrooms, which are
well served by the shower room in between.
A large gravelled driveway leads to a parking
and turning area to the front of the house, with
an additional drive flanked on either side by
formal lawns and enclosed via hedging and a
five-bar gate leading up to the detached garage
and carport.
The gardens form a lovely setting for the house
with the majority being laid to level lawn. At the
far end of the garden there are fabulous views
down the valley and to one corner there is a
tennis court. A charming partly enclosed garden
contains pergolas, decorative climbing plants
and beds, with a variety of private paved and
gravelled terraces offering ample opportunity
to dine al fresco and enjoy the sunshine from all
aspects.
There is also an additional garage and gravelled
driveway, a garden store and a charming original
brick-built well.
The property is situated south of the picturesque village of Petham, which benefits from a primary school, church and active community village hall. The surrounding countryside is designated an AONB, providing a scenic environment for walking, riding and cycling. Canterbury offers an array of cultural, sporting and recreational amenities, as well as an excellent range of educational facilities.
The A2 provides direct dual carriageway access to the motorway network, whilst Canterbury West station provides High-Speed services to London St Pancras in under an hour. The area also has good access to the Continent.
