Description
Dating back to the mid 1800s the property was once two cottages and then knocked into one in the 1970s. It has since been significantly enhanced over recent years by the current owners who have embraced its heritage and take it back to its original era.
It is now flourishing in period features which includes exposed beams, brick fireplaces, flagstone floors and latch key doors, the enhancements have been done sensitively and include an elegant bathroom and bespoke, reclaimed solid wood kitchen complementing the style of the property.
The front door sits central to the property and opens into an open plan living room, with beams running the full length, whilst a large inglenook fireplace nestles a wood burning stove and heats the whole house.
Beyond the family room there is a country style kitchen which has been enhanced with bespoke, reclaimed, solid wood units, which surround free standing appliances and a double range stove which sits beneath a large oak bressummer. The kitchen has been extended and has a vaulted ceiling and roof light; an oak door leads to the rear garden.
The downstairs space is enhanced by an elegant bathroom complete with wall panelling, free standing bathtub, with traditional style taps, WC and basin. Laundry appliances have been plumbed in and there is also room to instal a free-standing shower cubicle.
A hardwood staircase rises to the first floor where one will find four double bedrooms, all with stripped pine latch key doors. From the smallest bedroom there is access to the loft room which has an abundance of eaves storage, the room is exceptionally well insulated and benefits from natural light from the Velux window.
OUTSIDE:
Fern Cottage occupies almost 0.20 acres of grounds which includes off road parking for several vehicles. The garden is mainly laid to lawn with several mature trees, a raised vegetable patch and greenhouse.
There is several outbuildings and a garage which add another 500 sq.ft of space currently used as workshops but could easily become a home office, garden room or gym.
SITUATION:
The ancient village of Chartham is four miles west of the Cathedral City of Canterbury. It is located on the Great Stour river and is surrounded by beautiful countryside and farmland, including apple and pear orchards. It is served by a village hall, a doctors surgery, a village store, a post office, pubs and a primary school.
There is a railway station with easy access to Canterbury, Ashford and the high-speed links to London and Europe. There is also a regular bus service to Canterbury and Ashford and a cycle path runs along the banks of the river Stour all the way into Canterbury.
The nearby cathedral city of Canterbury also has a wide range of amenities, including excellent shopping and leisure facilities, primary and secondary schools as well as three universities, two hospitals and two railway stations. Canterbury also offers excellent leisure facilities, along with a diverse selection of restaurants and international eateries.
The thriving market town of Ashford also offers excellent shopping, recreational and educational amenities, along with a high-speed rail link from Ashford International Station which reaches London St Pancras in just 38 minutes.
The area is very well served by road connections, with the A2/M2 accessible from nearby Canterbury and the M20 (which can be joined at Ashford) both connecting with London and the coast.
