Upstairs are two great sized double bedrooms, one of which has en-suite W.C. The property also boasts a thatched annexe offering kitchen area, bathroom and two double bedrooms. This potentially almost doubles the size of the property. Formal cottage style gardens are considered a particular feature of the property enjoying privacy and seclusion with established shrubs and trees, lawns and shrubbery borders with climbing roses. The gardens are naturally divided into separate areas with trees and attractive fencing. The lawns wind round through arches into more informal garden areas extending on all sides. Immediately to the rear of the cottage is a large paved terrace, perfect for garden furniture. To the far end of the gardens is the block of three stables which have electric and water connected. The access at the rear leads to a circular driveway around a mature pond and offers off street parking for several cars. Beyond the driveway is access to the paddock and a small area of orchard with mixed fruit trees, the paddock is fenced and immediately adjoins farmland and enjoys an attractive backdrop. The property is positioned in the small sought-after village of Womenswold. The village lies within the catchment area for Barham Primary school and has easy access to the nearby villages of Barham and Bridge. The surrounding countryside offers lovely walking and cycling. The A2 is easily accessible, reaching the Cathedral City of Canterbury, Dover and the coastal towns. Canterbury offers comprehensive facilities with a large range of shops, schools and universities. Canterbury West station provides high speed rail services to London St. Pancras with a journey time of approx. 55 mins. Our Time Here When we first saw our home, we thought how idyllic it was. The gardens instantly won us over, flowing from one delightful area to another. Wildlife is diverse, and the gardens have many beautiful shrubs and trees. Wrapping around the whole property, you can always find somewhere sunny in the gardens to enjoy a glass or two! The living spaces in the house have worked well. The lounge has a huge inglenook, matched on the other side in the dining room with a smaller inglenook. They both have log burning stoves, which makes this a very cosy place to be in the winter. An added bonus is that we rarely need to use the gas central heating. The self-contained detached annexe adds to the versatility here. It's ideal for hosting family and friends when they come to stay providing comfortable and private accommodation. The Cottage sits in a rural, peaceful and friendly village. We overlook the surrounding fields and the summer sunset up on the meadow is truly breathtaking. Although in a rural setting, shops, bus stops and a train station are all within a five-minute drive.
