Property description & features

Tenure: Freehold
Extended Grade II listed 1700s cottage
Detached one bedroom annexe
Driveway parking for 3-4 cars
Low maintenance walled garden
Sensitively refurbished whilst retaining many original features
Idyllic village location with local shop, post office and pub

The Grade II listed Gardener's Cottage, with its newly built detached annexe, has its origins in the 1700s. Outside the annexe there is a block paved driveway, a solid gate to the courtyard and annexe entrance as well as a curved brick wall and willow hurdle fencing. This leads round to the path to the front door, flanked by a cottage style front garden. With its high chimney stacks, multi-pane sash windows and historic front door, the exterior of the cottage oozes all the charm of a bygone era. However, internally it has been sensitively updated while still retaining its historic feel.

The front door opens into the spacious open plan lounge and dining are with its newly replaced oak beams, period shutters and shelving as well as a stone tiled floor that continues into the kitchen/breakfast room and up the stairs. In the dining area there is a brick chimney breast and fireplace enclosing an antique range while in the lounge there is a brick fireplace with a log burning stove.

An archway leads to a lobby area with an understairs cupboard, the staircase, boiler room and utility/cloakroom and an arch to the open plan kitchen/breakfast room with Wren units, appliances and room for a table and chairs. There is a larder cupboard and stable door access to the walled inner courtyard area as well as to the lower block paved terrace that leads to the annexe. On the first floor there is a contemporary bathroom and two double bedrooms with fitted cupboards.

The detached annexe includes an open plan lounge/diner/kitchen with inset lighting, bespoke units and appliances, a storage area with ‘faux' garage doors and an understairs cupboard housing a washing machine, while upstairs there is a double bedroom and adjacent shower room.

What the Owner says:
We bought this cottage because we loved the position and the character of the property and have enjoyed updating it and building the annex. However we are now considering going to live abroad. The friendly village has a shop and post office, a pub for a drink or a meal, and a café at the East Kent heritage railway station. The nearest mainline station is Shepherdswell and the bus goes to Canterbury, Dover and the Sandwich Technical School while the nearby primary school at Elvington is rated Outstanding by Ofsted.

Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on June 20, 2023

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 June 20, 2023

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

Energy Performance data and Internal floor area: obtained on June 12, 2023 from The Energy Performance of Buildings (Certificates and Inspections) (England and Wales) Regulations 2007 or the Home Report if in relation to a residential property in Scotland.
