  • Stunning Views
  • Four Good Sized Bedrooms
  • Quiet Location
  • Beautiful Garden
  • Driveway For 3 To 4 Cars
Situated on the edge of Dover, in an area of outstanding natural beauty in the village of Hougham, nestles this charming Victorian cottage, tucked away on a quiet lane amongst leafy trees and surrounded by the most picturesque countryside. You arrive at the property through a pretty, white painted, 5 bar gate at the end of the large paved driveway with parking for several vehicles. Through the entrance awaits a spacious hall leading to a convenient utility/cloakroom and into the cosy sitting room, full of character with exposed beam ceiling and a log burner. This is a beautiful room and the hub of the home. Just inside the sitting room entrance is a staircase leading to the first-floor landing. There is a downstairs bathroom to the rear of the sitting room which was once the kitchen of the house prior to the extensions that have taken place since the original build in the 1860's. The spacious bathroom has a modern suite consisting of bath, separate shower, and basin. French doors lead from the sitting room to the bright dining room with patio doors leading to an outside courtyard space and further round to access the elevated garden. A large window also floods the room with light. A door leads from the dining room into the modern and tasteful kitchen with timeless wooden worktops and cream painted wooden units. The accommodation on the first floor comprises of 4 great sized double bedrooms, the main suite enjoying great views from double aspect windows and a modern en-suite. All 4 bedrooms have large windows allowing plenty of light and stunning views. A separate modern cloakroom from the landing is situated between rooms 2 and 3. To the outside of the property at the front is the private gated driveway with lots of established trees allowing plenty of privacy. There are steps to the side which you can also access via the back of the house, which lead to the beautiful, elevated garden. Being in a higher position means the garden benefits from stunning panoramic views. A pretty summer house adorns the far end of the garden which is the perfect place to enjoy the tranquil surroundings and listen to the birds. There is also a large, tiered area adjacent to the side of the house which could be utilised in various ways perhaps as a BBQ area, space for a hot tub or for planting to really create something special. This home really is the perfect balance of semi-rural living as although it's less than 2 miles into Dover (including Dover Priory station where you can travel by High speed to Central London in only an hour,) you're far enough away to enjoy the benefits of country living such as the stunning scenery and peace and quiet. If you want to escape the hustle and bustle of towns or cities, have stunning panoramic views and a beautiful garden as well as a home full of character then I recommend booking a viewing at your earliest convenience.Disclaimer

    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
