A charming and sympathetically extended period cottage, offering elegant and versatile living spaces, nestled in the heart of the North Downs village of Shottenden.
Chilham Train Station, 2 miles
Detached garage and driveway.
Set beneath half white weatherboarded elevations, this attractive character home has been thoughtfully updated to provide generous accommodation, including three well-proportioned bedrooms, a spacious open-plan living area, and a beautifully landscaped garden with garage and rear access.
The cottage enjoys a tranquil position within the picturesque hamlet of Shottenden, surrounded by rolling countryside and an extensive network of footpaths, perfect for those who value rural living and easy access to the outdoors. The neighbouring village of Chilham, just a short drive away, offers a charming community atmosphere and a railway station with connections to Canterbury and Ashford International, from where high-speed services run directly to London St Pancras.
Internally, the property is a fine example of period charm meeting modern convenience. The open-plan kitchen and living space is ideal for entertaining and everyday family life, while a second reception room currently serves as a playroom but could easily be reconfigured as a formal dining room or study, depending on individual needs.
Upstairs, three generously sized bedrooms are bathed in natural light via double-glazed windows and are served by a well-appointed family bathroom.
Outside, the rear garden has been thoughtfully designed for both relaxation and entertaining. A wide decked terrace leads from the patio doors to a lawned area, which wraps around the side of the house and leads to a timber garage. There is also an additional off-street parking space in front of the garage.
This delightful cottage represents a rare opportunity to acquire a country home in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, offering the peace and privacy of rural living while remaining within easy reach of excellent schools, transport links, and local amenities.
