Greater Puckstone Farm, Stodmarsh Road, £3,000 pcm Stodmarsh, , , CT3 4AY Furnished

A stunning Grade II Listed former farmhouse in a delightful rural setting with a range of versatile outbuildings and most attractive grounds extending to approx. one acre. The property enjoys wonderful views and is believed to have Medieval origins and later adapted and extended in the Eighteenth Century. The accommodation is of elegant proportions and features extensive exposed timbers, many stone floors, vaulted ceilings and impressive fireplaces. The quintessential farmhouse kitchen includes flagstone floor, solid timber work-surfaces and electric AGA, with hotplates and multiple ovens. The sitting room has a large inglenook fireplace and attractive staircases to the first floor. There is a bedroom on the ground floor with a beautifully fitted ensuite bathroom. On the first floor are two large bedrooms and spacious family bathroom. In addition is a further pretty attic bedroom with access via open-tread timber stairs from the landing. Mains water and electricity. Oil fired central heating, drainage to cess pit.

Externally the property is approached from Stodmarsh Road via a long farm track through woodland and farmland reaching a five bar gate accessing the private drive, parking area and garaging. The house is set behind a front lawn to the side of which is an impressive timber framed Kentish barn including a lined room to the side formally used as a studio commanding fine views of the neighbouring countryside. Adjoining the barn is a large greenhouse and former stable block which has been converted to provide ancillary accommodation, served by bottled gas, and could now potentially be put to a number of uses including annexe, gym, studio or office. The detached garage building includes double garage and adjoining store room. Behind the garage is an enclosed vegetable garden with comprehensive raised beds, composting bins and timber shed. To the rear of the house is a paved terrace with steps down to the large lawn which has a number of inset trees and mature beds. The grounds then extend beyond a low-level wall and timber five-bar gate to a further grassed area, with substantial pond, leading to a small copse towards the rear boundary.

The house is just outside the highly regarded village of Stodmarsh which has a popular pub, the Red Lion, and famous wetland nature reserve. The village is surrounded by lovely countryside ideal for walking and cycling. The Cathedral is easily accessible and offers a comprehensive range of shopping, leisure and educational facilities and boasts an enviable selection of schools and colleges and universities. Easy access can be gained onto the A2 to Dover and the M2 to London. The High Speed rail link is available from Canterbury West Station with an approx. journey time of 55 mins to London St. Pancras.
