#TheGardenOfEngland
A most appealing cottage benefitting from a side and rear extension that now provides cleverly designed and stylish accommodation over three floors.
An idyllic countryside setting with fabulous views to the front and rear, a large garden with outbuildings and a garage.
About ½ acre plot.
Set within a delightful row of six cottages, this end cottage built in the 1880’s boasts additional floorspace following two creative additions, parking to the front and a large garden with garage behind.
Internally the current owners have sympathetically but boldly styled the house, celebrating much of its orignial character. Exposed bricks, beams, timbers, doors and windows are all still on display – all of which add to the appeal of the house. Arguably the showpiece of the house is the kitchen/diner to the rear, with its vaulted and curved ceilings, roof lights and chunky timber beams visible.
Outside, a large garden extends to a detached garage at the far end. The garden has been well planned with several zones. Flintstone retaining walls create a pretty and practical border for a lawn and densely planted flower bed. Mostly laid to lawn, the garden leads up to a large vegetable garden.
The brick built wash room / studio is another helpful facility that offers several possible uses.
Situation
Boughton Church Cottages are located in a pretty rural setting synonymous with farming and are a short drive from the larger village of Boughton Under Blean, which lies between the towns of Faversham and Canterbury. The name "Boughton" is derived from the Old English words "boc" meaning beech tree and "tun" meaning farmstead or settlement. The addition of "under-Blean" refers to its location beneath the Blean Forest, a nearby ancient woodland. Historically, Boughton-under-Blean was an agricultural village, with farming being a significant part of its economy. Over time, it has evolved into a residential area, although agriculture still plays a role in the local economy. The village has a quaint and picturesque atmosphere, with charming old buildings and a traditional village green. One notable landmark in Boughton-under-Blean is St. Peter and St. Paul's Church, a medieval parish church dating back to the 13th century. The church features an impressive tower and is known for its architectural and historical significance. Boughton-under-Blean is also known for its community spirit, with various events and activities organised throughout the year, including festivals, fairs, and markets. The village has a primary school, shops, pubs, and other amenities catering to the needs of its residents. The surrounding area offers opportunities for outdoor recreation, with scenic walks and cycling routes available in the nearby Blean Forest and countryside. Overall, Boughton-under-Blean is a charming village, well connected to local transport links, with a rich history and a strong sense of community, making it a desirable place to live for many people in Kent.
