The Street , Lympne , CT21

Welcome to this enchanting piece of history, a unique characterful old coach house that stands as a testament to the craftsmanship of the 1600s. Originally a stable for Lympne Castle, this distinguished property underwent a thoughtful conversion and extension in 2005, transforming it into a splendid residence that seamlessly blends historic charm with modern comfort.

Approaching the property, you are greeted by grandeur—the imposing wooden gates guarding the entrance and meticulously maintained high hedges create a sense of exclusivity. Nestled on a private and secluded plot, the detached house unfolds into an expansive courtyard adorned with a spacious carport, a large outbuilding for storage, and a distinctive bar, adding a touch of uniqueness to the property.

A self-contained annex at the rear of the courtyard presents an enticing opportunity for Airbnb hosting. Recently refurbished to an impeccable standard, the annex features an open-plan living area and kitchen on the ground floor, complemented by a modern bathroom. Upstairs, a spacious and characterful double bedroom offers panoramic views of the Bison field, a unique vista provided by the proximity to Port Lympne Zoo.

The main house, resplendent with a beautiful stone facade, exudes charm from the moment you step inside. The large hallway welcomes you with glass balustrades on the staircase, setting the tone for the symmetrical layout of this remarkable residence. To the right, a spacious lounge adorned with an old wooden beam across the ceiling invites relaxation.

To the left, a generously sized dining room with beautiful windows letting in natural light. In between the dining room and the kitchen is another door access to the courtyard beckons for entertaining guests.

The expansive kitchen, complete with a large Rangemaster double oven and hob, features a breakfast bar area overlooking the courtyard—a perfect spot for morning coffee.

Just off the centre of the hallway is a modern and spacious bathroom which adds practicality to the elegance.

Ascending the grand staircase to the upper level, a landing with abundant windows along the back of the house floods the space with natural light. Three spacious double bedrooms and one smaller double bedroom/study await, with the front ones offering scenic views of the courtyard, the towering trees and the Bison field, where the zoo's majestic inhabitants graze. There is also another large modern bathroom providing convenience and luxury.

Situated in the idyllic village of Lympne near Hythe, this property boasts proximity to historical landmarks such as Lympne Castle and scenic views of the English Channel, Hythe, Romney Marsh, and even Sussex on a clear day. Port Lympne Safari Park is just a stone's throw away, and delightful walks through the village and public footpaths through the zoo down to West Hythe await.

The Lympne village is a close knit community with a cozy village public house, a village shop and post office, a very good primary school and a nursery school in the village hall. There are two village halls with many social events gathered there along with the playpark for children and a vast village green.

In summary, this property is an outstanding example of natural beauty, history, and modern living coming together harmoniously. A unique opportunity not to be missed.
