5 bedroom detached house for sale

One of only two detached residences accessed via the Bridleway,this spacious family home is tucked away at the end of the short lane and approached through double wrought iron gates. These open onto a very large driveway that provides off-road parking for numerous vehicles and leads to a large double garage with electric doors as well as to the glazed front door. This opens into a good-sized porch with an inner glass door to the entrance hall with its impressive divided staircase.

The hall opens into the very large lounge and dining area. The double height vaulted ceiling lounge has a York stone wall and chimney breast with its raised flame effect fire. It also includes a galleried mezzanine/study area.

Off the hall there is a shower room and a snug overlooking the front garden which is ideally positioned to double as an office for anyone working from home.

It features hard-wearing Corian worktops housing Neff appliances including an induction hob, double oven and combi microwave as well as a dishwasher, full-height larder fridge. While the adjacent utility room has space for stand-alone laundry appliances and access to the garden. There is also an internal door to the garage and to a second shower room with a toilet and patio doors to the rear garden.

The central staircase leads to a large galleried landing with access to the four double bedrooms on this floor including three with plenty of fitted wardrobes and the main suite that features three large built in mirrored-door wardrobes and an ensuite shower room. There is a contemporary family bathroom with bath and a wet-room style shower. You will also find a cloakroom leading to a walk-in airing cupboard. A corridor leads to the ultimate surprise – a vast dual aspect games room/2nd bedroom complete with a full-sized snooker table.

What the Owner says:
We have lived in the area for over 45 years and moved into this house about 27 years ago as we felt it was ideal as a very practical, spacious and safe home for our growing family. We love the complete peace and seclusion, yet it is not far from all the amenities available in Whitfield and the A2 for access to Dover, Canterbury and London. However, our children are now grown up with jobs and homes spread across the world and we feel it is time for us to downsize. Whitfield includes a primary school, hairdresser, village hall, doctor's surgery and a vet as well as a post office, a pub, restaurants, a garage and the Ramada hotel.
Five minutes away is a Leisure Centre and swimming pool, a Tesco superstore and several retail outlets, There is a regular bus service to Dover, with its individual shops, bars and restaurants as well as the ferry port for trips to the Continent. Nearby train stations include Kearsney, Martin Mill and the high-speed train from Dover Priory can whisk you to London St Pancras in just over an hour. Regular bus and train services run to historic Canterbury and the coastal resorts, and there are excellent grammar and private schools in Dover and Canterbury as well as an Outstanding primary school in River village.
Lydden Downs Nature Reserve is close by, as well as the White Cliffs of Dover. For sport enthusiasts there is Lydden circuit, the Royal Cinque Ports Yacht Club, and a range of local and championship golf clubs.
