A recently refurbished, traditionally styled detached property set within 0.53 acres of secluded grounds, in a rural yet highly sought-after village location close to the Cathedral City of Canterbury.
Chesters dates back to the early 1920s and is rich in character, beautifully balanced with modern convenience. It has been significantly extended and improved in recent years and now offers over 3,400 sq. ft of wonderfully appointed accommodation, ideal for modern family living.
The thoughtful architecture and fine craftsmanship are evident throughout and remain sympathetic to the original building, with extensive glazing capturing the stunning grounds and rolling countryside.
An oak-framed vestibule leads into a convenient utility room, or directly into a welcoming entrance hall, with beautiful wood flooring, a cloakroom with shower, and stairs to the first floor. To the right of the entrance hall is a spacious study with bespoke shelving and cabinetry, while beyond this is a charming dual-aspect sitting room with a wood-burning stove and two sets of French doors opening onto the patio.
To the rear of the house is a spectacular open-plan kitchen/dining/family room, part of the extension added in 2015.
The kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of modern-style wall and floor units set around rich granite work surfaces, integrated appliances, an electric stove, and a Butler sink. The family area features a stunning vaulted ceiling with oak beams and exposed brickwork, leading to a split-level area ideal for relaxing and overlooking the garden.
On the first floor, a large central landing, configured as a reading nook, leads to five generously proportioned bedrooms and the main family bathroom.
The main bedroom is a magnificent roomover 20 ft longwith dual-aspect floor-to-ceiling windows, a vaulted ceiling, and a beautifully appointed en suite bathroom featuring a freestanding bathtub.
The sixth bedroom is on the second floor and is ideal for a teenager seeking more independence and privacy. OUTSIDE: Chesters occupies a generous 0.53-acre plot of secluded grounds, overlooking rolling countryside and enjoying all-day sunshine.
The patio area surrounds the main living spaces, and the French doors can be opened to allow the outdoors to become part of the home.
The patio flows onto a vast lawn bordered by mature trees and established shrubs. An 17 ft studio is set in a shaded area, ideal as a home office or art studio/hobby room, along with undercroft storageperfect for lawnmowers and other gardening tools. To the front of the property, there is a gravelled driveway with space for several cars. The property has private drainage and oil fuelled heating.
SITUATION:
Mountain Street is a quiet little road, situated just off the picturesque village square in the hugely sought-after village of Chilham. Chilham is an historic and quintessentially English village on the outskirts of Canterbury and is set in the attractive valley of the River Stour. It is bounded on the north, south and west by the North Downs offering fantastic walks through the countryside. In the heart of the village, there is a beautiful fifteenth century market square with some exquisite period buildings, including The White Horse pub, traditional village tea rooms and a gift shop.
The village is also served by a post office, a primary school, The Woolpack public house, a railway station, a childrens playground, the village hall a tennis club and a sports centre. The village is also home to Chilham Castle and the 15th century Church of St Mary, which is reputed to have Thomas Beckett buried within the churchyard.
The nearby Cathedral city of Canterbury (7 miles) and the market town of Ashford (9 miles) offer a superb range of shopping, recreational and educational amenities, including a selection of both private and state grammar schools. Both have mainline railway stations which connect with London Victoria and London St Pancras, with a fast service running from Ashford International station to London St Pancras in just 37 minutes.
The area is very well served by road connections, with the A2/M2 (4 miles) and the M20 (from Ashford). The Channel Tunnel at Folkestone (24 miles) provides a regular shuttle service to the Continent, whilst the Port of Dover (22 miles) also provides regular ferry crossings to the Continent.
