Leacon Farm Cottages Westwell Leacon

Set opposite to a charming green-recreation field is this charming 2 bedroom mid-terrace cottage, which has been lovingly and thoughtfully improved over the years. This Westwell Leacon home, in Charing, provides for some, a lifestyle change, allowing you to seek that homely community feeling, found within this peaceful rural setting whilst being a moments wander from fantastic open-green field walks found adjacent to your doorstep. Since the current vendor’s ownership in early 2013 - the house has had a number of improvements, making it ready for the next owner to call this place home.

There are a number of reasons why the vendors chose to settle in Charing - Perhaps it’s the countryside setting, perfect for dog walkers! Or even knowing just how close you are to either Ashford or even Canterbury – a simple drive and you can find yourself meandering around cobble stone streets in Canterbury, or wandering the Ashford outlet - whilst the convenience of supermarkets are a simple 15 minute drive away from your doorstep.

Note the driveway providing parking to the front of the home for a single car, which is a must for all families these days. There’s a path that leads you to your front door via the neatly landscaped and planted quaint frontage. This path, draws you to the entrance of the home, where you’ll enter into the open plan reception room. The lounge is plentiful in floorspace, neutral in décor, with a charming multi-fuel stove. This room stretches through to the designated dining space, ensuring a modern flow throughout the home. A country-style kitchen with stylish oak-work surfaces and contrasting base & wall cabinets provide the essential space to deal with all that comes with day to day life, You will also find a generous understairs storage/larder. Finishing the ground floor well, is a cottage style bathroom. Which consists of modern bath, wash hand basin & W/C, A charming bath suite where you can soak away in the tub, or perhaps make use of the shower over, finished in a modern heritage green tile.

Climb the stairs and you will find the two spacious bedrooms. The 2nd bedroom is currently utilised as a 2nd reception/snug, but perfectly adequate as a guest bedroom - a cosy room which offers ample floorspace, a built in storage cupboard and a beautiful view over the garden. Now, turn your attention to the master bedroom. A room which offers yet again that comfortable peaceful sanctuary like feeling, from its window offering views over the front plot. This room is finished with another storage cupboard and space for a large double bed too.

Wander into the garden or pop open those patio doors from the sun-room and be in touch with the outside. The plot here is truly magical, and has been landscaped over the years by the current owners, now offering a patio area for alfresco dining, and letting guests mingle on those long bank holiday BBQ filled weekends. At the base of the garden is a well designed separate area, which is currently home to a green-house, as well as an out-building, that once housed the traditional outside toilet, now removed, to make a useful storage area. It's a garden where you can envision yourself making memories with friends and family. We would recommend booking a viewing at your earliest possible chance, as there’s so much more to see than this description can tell you!
