4 bedroom equestrian property

This splendid oast conversion offers four bedrooms and plenty of character, in a sought-after rural setting. The accommodation is arranged across three levels, with spacious, open reception rooms to the upper levels and flexible bedrooms on the ground and first floors. The property has a wealth of original details, including exposed timber beams to the upper levels. The house has been partly renovated with finishing still required, and therefore provides an opportunity for a new owner to impose their own identity and style on the house.

The two main reception rooms are the drawing room and the sitting room, both of which are on the second floor, offering plenty of space in which to relax. The sitting room features a stunning vaulted square kiln roof with its original timber beams, which creates a wonderful sense of space and light.

The drawing room sits above the open-plan kitchen and family area on a mezzanine-style arrangement with galleried areas overlooking the living space below. The 30ft family area and kitchen is ideal for entertaining, with its modern fitted kitchen and exposed wooden flooring.

There are two double bedrooms on the ground floor level, as well as a games room, a family bathroom, a plant/utility and a storeroom.

The first floor has a further two bedrooms together with a second bathroom.

The property forms part of a magnificent oast building comprising six properties in total, all of which share a driveway and parking.

Diagonally opposite the house is a private garden.

The paddocks lie beyond the shared drive. There is a timber-framed stable block with four stables and plenty of storage as well as a manege, both of which require attention.

The property is in a convenient rural setting within easy reach of Canterbury and just outside the small village of Chartham Hatch.

Chartham Hatch has a village hall and a recreation ground, while the charming, larger village of Chartham has a local store, a village hall and a local pub, as well as a mainline station providing direct services to London Victoria or, via Canterbury West, to London St Pancras (with journey times of under an hour). There is a primary school in Chartham, while secondary schooling can be found nearby in Canterbury.

The bustling cathedral city of Canterbury is less than four miles away, with its excellent shopping, leisure and entertainment facilities. The village enjoys easy access to both the M2 and M20. The area has good access to the Continent via Eurotunnel and the Port of Dover.
