This stunning, period house, formerly a public house, has been thoughtfully reconfigured and beautifully refurbished to create an extensive and versatile family home filled with character and individuality. Nestled in the picturesque village of Bekesbourne, the property seamlessly blends period charm with modern comforts, offering a unique and inviting living space. The home boasts a light-filled dual aspect family room featuring an elegant wood-burning stove, double doors opening onto the side courtyard garden, and bi-fold doors leading into the sitting/dining room. This delightful space includes a cosy sitting area with a second wood-burning stove, while the dining area showcases solid wood flooring and further bi-fold doors that flow into the kitchen. The stylishly appointed kitchen is comprehensively fitted with a range of wall, drawer and floor units, granite work surfaces and a selection of integrated appliances, complemented by a skylight roof window that enhances natural light. Adjacent to the kitchen, the breakfast room exudes charm with its exposed brick chimney breast housing another wood-burning stove, double doors leading to the courtyard and a door providing access to the staircase rising to the first floor. A practical rear lobby/boot room has a door opening onto the rear garden and provides access to the downstairs wet room w.c, offering additional convenience. The first floor features a spacious main bedroom with a built-in wardrobe, along with three further bedrooms. Planning permission has previously been approved for an ensuite to be built to the main bedroom. This has now lapsed and could be resubmitted if required. A beautifully appointed family bathroom includes a separate shower and bath, catering to modern family living. The property further benefits from underfloor heating to the ground floor and bespoke wooden shutters on select windows and doors. Externally, the property enjoys a large, paved courtyard garden to the side with double doors accessing both the family room and breakfast room, as well as a pergola to one corner. The substantial main garden area is predominately laid to lawn, complemented by vegetable beds and a wildlife pond. A detached outbuilding serves as a useful utility room with a range of wall, drawer and floor units plus space and plumbing for a freestanding washing machine, alongside a separate workshop with its own loft space.
