Welcome to this remarkable 6-bedroom detached family home which offers nearly 3500 square feet of flexible living space. This stunning property has undergone extensive renovations that were designed by White & Faded. Both inside and out you can be ensured a modern and comfortable lifestyle for its fortunate occupants.
Let's begin with the exterior features that make this property truly exceptional. The roof has been completely redone with high-quality slates and insulation, providing optimal protection and energy efficiency. Additional improvements include a new window for the bathroom, a roof lantern above the main bathroom's bathtub, and a sizable roof lantern across the hallway, flooding the space with natural light. A new porch and entryway create an inviting first impression, while a water pump increases water pressure throughout the home. The property also boasts two water filter systems, specifically designed to combat limescale. An insulated outside unit serves as a home office, and the landscaping has been thoughtfully redesigned to open up the space, featuring shingles, a pergola, and a BBQ area. A wooden carport with matching slates and a fresh coat of white paint on the main house complete the exterior enhancements.


This location offers more than just a beautiful home, there is direct access through a private gate, allowing you can enjoy leisurely walks, including a scenic 30-minute stroll to Fordwich. Enjoy the unique setting which allows you to be close enough to the city centre of Canterbury but enjoy the benefits of being in the rural landscape. The serenade of nightingales in the garden adds to the enchanting atmosphere. For history and culture enthusiasts, the cathedral is just a 30-minute walk away, and as a resident of this home, you will receive a free access pass to the cathedral. Furthermore, planning permission has been approved for knocking down the outbuilding and building an extension, and all the necessary drawings will be provided to the new owner.


Inside the property, every detail has been carefully considered. The living room underwent structural work, resulting in a new layout with double doors leading to the diner, which itself has been reconfigured to create a seamless flow. The French doors leading to outside have been designed to be in keeping with the look and feel of the property. The kitchen is a culinary delight, featuring a new layout with a stunning island, complete with plumbing, electricity, and an instant boiling water tap. Antique cupboards add a touch of character, and the entire kitchen showcases beautiful shiplap-style wood panelling. The hallway and porch have been refreshed with new flooring, while the laundry room boasts new plumbing, lighting, and appliances. The downstairs bathroom has been transformed with a Japanese bath, sink, and Turkish toilet, all finished in pristine white with new skirting. The TV room and office have received upgrades, including new flooring and LED lighting. The original staircase has been lovingly restored, and the landing has been rearranged for better functionality. The main bathroom has undergone a complete renovation, including a new window to enhance natural light. Essential upgrades such as a new hot water cylinder, Nest system, and Verisure alarm system have also been installed.
This property is not just a home; it's a piece of history. Dating back to Henry VIII in the 1500s, it served as the park keeper's house for Kings Park before becoming privately owned. The extension  also dates back to the Georgian and Victorian era. You would be the third private owner of this magnificent property. The private driveway, approximately 380 meters long, adds to the exclusivity and privacy of the estate.
This extraordinary property presents an opportunity to own a meticulously renovated home with a rich heritage. If you're seeking a spacious and beautifully appointed family residence then this is the perfect choice.
