Offering over 1,000 sq ft of well-laid-out accommodation, the home combines cosy cottage features with generous living space, driveway parking, and a beautiful 60ft garden backing onto open paddocks.

The property is well located in this popular rural village, which boasts a number of amenities, including a popular public house/restaurant, community hall, cricket ground, farm shop and church. The surrounding countryside forms part of the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is a Site of Special Scientific Interest, over which there is a wealth of walks, rides and cycle routes. Lower Hardres is positioned just a few miles south of the historic cathedral city of Canterbury, which offers a wide range of shopping, recreational and educational facilities, together with high-speed main line train services to London, with the travel time to London St Pancras being some 60 minutes. There are excellent road networks linking to both the capital and the many villages and coastal towns of Kent including the port of Dover and Folkestone Euro Tunnel terminal.

Also on the ground floor is an adaptable double bedroom with an inbuilt shower cubicle — ideal for guests — and at the front of the cottage, a versatile reception room, currently a study or office, featuring beams and a fireplace, perfect for home working or hobbies.
