Westerfield is an impressive, detached period home with tremendously well-balanced accommodation ideal for family living, with natural oak finishes and mellow brickwork adding a great sense of warmth and comfort. The garden is set up for country living with useful outbuildings, and plenty of room for entertaining family and guests. The property is in a rural setting with charming views over adjoining fields and beyond, and within easy reach of the popular town of Sandwich, the beautiful Kent coast and the historic city of Canterbury.

The property has planning permission for a rear/side single storey extension that would enlarge the kitchen, details of which can be found on Dover District Council’s planning portal, ref: 23/01370.

There are four main formal reception rooms on the ground floor, three of which sit at the front of the property, benefitting from a sunny south-facing aspect. These include the sitting room with a bay window, open fireplace, cornicing and ornate ceiling rose. There is also a useful home study with a log burner. The adjoining comfortable snug features plantation shutters over the windows and French doors opening to the garden.

Towards the rear there is a formal dining room, while the open-plan kitchen and breakfast room also provides space for a large family dining in front of the handsome inglenook fireplace. The kitchen itself has an array of fitted units and wooden worktops, as well as a split butler sink and a range cooker. The adjacent utility room offers further space for home storage and appliances, as does the cellar, which is accessed via a hatch in the snug.

Stairs lead to the first floor landing, off which there are four well-appointed double bedrooms of similar proportions. These include the generous principal bedroom, which has a generous en suite bathroom with a freestanding, roll-top bathtub, dual washbasins and a separate shower. The first floor also benefits from a family bathroom.

The second floor provides an additional, well-proportioned double bedroom with a contemporary freestanding bathtub and a separate large shower enclosure. A further shower room can be found on the ground floor.

A driveway at the side of the house provides access to a large parking area towards the rear, with space for several vehicles.

The garden is mostly located towards the rear of the house and includes a spacious, split-level patio area for al fresco dining, with rolling lawns beyond, bordered by established hedgerows and mature trees.
