Property Description

An excellent property for a family with a love of horses and the outdoors is available on the outskirts of the delightful hamlet of Chislet, not far from Canterbury. Tucked away down a long drive behind a high hedge that provides complete privacy and surrounded by fields, this charming and individually designed house nestling in 8.6 acres will attract you from the moment you sweep up to the front door and see the unusual arched entrance porch. Once through the panelled wood front door you will be impressed by the spacious, warm and welcoming reception hall with the unusual teak staircase and wide archway providing a lovely flowing feeling through to the large lounge that is ideal for entertaining. With large patio doors overlooking the swimming pool area and windows providing plenty of natural light on three sides, a stunning bespoke circular fireplace with a copper cowl in the centre of the room, a partial double height tongue and groove pine ceiling and a fascinating minstrels gallery above, makes this room truly unique. There is a good sized dining room with a feature brick wall and a very useful study as well as a utility room and cloakroom adjacent to the recently installed contemporary Howden kitchen. This well proportioned room provides everything needed to cook up a storm with its range of mostly Neff appliances including an eye level double oven, hob, dishwasher, integral fridge and freezer plus a built in combi oven/microwave as well as having plenty of room for a large table and chairs. The spacious feel of the property continues as you go upstairs to the large L shaped landing with its arch to the large minstrel's gallery where you can sit and read in peace and patio doors to the attractive balcony where you can look out over the large front garden. Off the landing there is the family bathroom and four double bedrooms including the master with quality built in bedroom furniture including cupboards, drawers and a dressing table and en suite facilities with a bath and a separate shower. At the rear of the property there is a heated swimming pool surrounded by a large terrace.

What the Owner says:
“We had this house built for us in the 1980s and have loved living here ever since. However as the children have now grown up and flown the nest we feel it is time for us to downsize. The house has many happy memories and our daughter enjoyed being able to have her horses here where we could see them every day. We had thought we might stay here longer so had a new kitchen installed fairly recently but the situation has changed and we have now decided to move although we want to stay in the area as we love it. We also have plans passed to enclose the swimming pool that and would be available to a new owner. We are very close to Upstreet with its post office/local shop and the A28 for direct access to Canterbury or alternatively you can easily get to the Thanet Way for London, Herne Bay and the Thanet towns. The charming Gate Inn pub is within very easy walking distance and is a classic example of a Kent country pub that serves beer from the barrel and good quality food while the nearby Chislet primary is a good and popular village school. There is also the Herne Primary that is rated by Ofsted as Outstanding and the Herne Bay High school as well as a number of grammar and private schools in Canterbury, Broadstairs, Ramsgate and Sandwich. For those who enjoy fishing there is the Marshside Fishery with its two lakes covering seven and a half acres and these lakes are well stocked with a variety of fish including carp, tench and bream."
