3 Bedrooms Detached house for sale in Selling Road, Old Wives Lees, Canterbury, Kent CT4 | £ 750,000

Property Description

Pond Cottage is set in a glorious location with unspoilt views. Though rurally located, the house has excellent and easy access to commuter links and facilities. Understood to date from 1711, Pond Cottage was sympathetically renovated in 2005 creating a special home of great charm.

Everyday access is through a front door to a lobby set off the kitchen. The kitchen/breakfast room is a fantastic, vaulted room with tall windows to the eaves and bi-fold doors to the front, designed to make the most of the beautiful surroundings and views.

A glazed lobby with bi-fold doors leads to the older part of the house where a charming double aspect sitting room has a wood-burning stove and exposed beams. Attractive open studwork divides this from the dining room at a slightly higher level, providing a lovely cosy living space, full of character.

To the far end, a contemporary styled en-suite bedroom with French doors leading to the garden, provides flexible ground floor bedroom accommodation.

On the first floor there are two further well-proportioned bedrooms with lovely views. A generous family bathroom has a roll top bath and separate shower. A staircase continues up to the second floor and a further bedroom/study.

Pond Cottage is located in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with some far reaching views. Old Wives Lees is situated on the Old Pilgrims Way on the Chartham Downs, surrounded by countryside and orchards.

The property is conveniently located for access to Canterbury, which offers an array of cultural, sporting and recreational amenities. In particular, there is a good range of educational facilities in both the independent and state sectors.

Faversham and Selling offer rail services to London Victoria (approximately 70 minutes) as does Chilham; the High Speed service to St Pancras from Canterbury West takes around 54 minutes. Ashford International offers services to the Continent and the High Speed service to St Pancras in around 37 minutes. Motorway access is from Junction 7 of the M2.

Pond Cottage is set well back in its grounds and is approached by a gravel drive. Set in an elevated position, the house has stunning countryside views.

Lawns sweep down to a pond shaded by a willow tree and there is a large timber building providing excellent storage. Behind the house is a sheltered, landscaped garden with a terrace and a sunken cedar wood hot tub.
