The Property
Brimming with character and history, this unusual Kentish cottage is set within its own beautifully landscaped gardens. Originally built in the 1900s and once serving as the village shop, the property has been in the same ownership for over sixty years. Now, it presents an exciting opportunity for modernisation and potential remodelling to create a truly exceptional home.
The adaptable accommodation has been enhanced by two extensions over the years, one of which is two-storey, offering flexible living space. Nestled in a peaceful and picturesque village, the cottage enjoys a serene setting on a quiet single-track lane, surrounded by open fields and countryside. Despite its idyllic rural feel, it is conveniently located just minutes from the A260 and the A2 motorway, providing easy access to Canterbury, Folkestone, and the wider motorway network.
