The spacious hallway leads to all ground floor rooms including a triple aspect living room measuring over 23ft-long and features an inglenook fireplace with log burning stove in pride of place. The grand kitchen-dining room features a vaulted ceiling with exposed timber beams and part oil fired and part electric Aga. There’s a downstairs bedroom and bathroom featuring a corner bath and separate shower, large study/office room which alternatively could be utilised as a fourth bedroom. Upstairs are two bedrooms, the master having en-suite and dressing room facilities. Outside the plot measures approximately three quarters of an acre with a perimeter hedge and is gated to the road with CCTV cameras and the house benefits from a security alarm system. The detached garage is huge and may suit conversion, subject to any relevant consents. The house further benefits from under floor heating and each room is individually thermostatically controlled. Wormshill is a small village and civil parish predominantly surrounded by farmland with excellent walking and horse- riding countryside with numerous footpaths and quiet lanes. The villages of Doddington and Hollingbourne are close-by with essential amenities, pretty greens, churches, pubs and a well-regarded primary school in Hollingbourne. The nearby towns of Faversham, Sittingbourne and Maidstone have good road links via the M2 and M20, high speed rail services to London St Pancras, and direct links to the City and Victoria. All three towns offer a wide variety of shopping, dining, leisure and recreational facilities including educational facilities and grammar schools. The Cathedral City of Canterbury is only 20 miles away where you will find a wider range of facilities. The Channel Tunnel is only 30 miles away and Ebbsfleet International 23 miles which also give connections to the Continent. There are numerous leisure facilities in the local vicinity including the Hucking Estate Woodland Trust, Leeds castle golf course and the World renowned Tourist attraction 'Leeds castle' as well as various sport and leisure centres. Our Time Here Island View is a beautiful place to live. We are in a rural setting with no neighbouring properties but have excellent local amenities, so we don’t feel isolated. There are a variety of local countryside pubs and restaurants nearby which we can stop off at after a walk. Transport connections across the local area make travelling short and long distances easy. We have lived here since 1997 and have always found the property to provide everything we need. Each room has its own individual character and they are all filled with natural light. In the winter we can individually regulate the temperature of the underfloor heating in each of the rooms downstairs. The main living area is always warm and welcoming, especially with the multifuel burner in the inglenook fireplace. The kitchen is a large room with an eight-seater dining table, it has high ceilings with wooden beams which add to the character. We have plenty of worksurface space and a four oven Aga. Our garden is beautiful, the huge lawn and patio provide us with excellent spaces to entertain in the summer and for children to play. It has a surrounding hedgerow and we have electric gates at the front of the property. There is plenty of potential to add to the spaces we have here too, while we haven’t needed the extra room you could look to build on the plot with the relevant permissions as there would be more than enough space to add in a bungalow. The garage could also be connected to the main house to be used as further living accommodation too and it already has its own bathroom. This has been a really enjoyable place to live, the surrounding countryside is beautiful, there is a wide variety of wildlife and we have loved our time here during the last 23 years.
