An outstanding renovation of a Grade II Listed house on the edge of the Village Green in a popular and well served village close to Canterbury.
Description
1 The Green is a Grade II Listed village house, believed to date from the 18th Century and set in the heart of the Littlebourne Conservation Area. The current owners have carried out an exquisite programme of renovation including a new kitchen by Thoroughly Wood with Miele integrated appliances, a Quooker tap and marble work surfaces, bespoke joinery in the study / gym, new log burners, an upgraded boiler and high quality decoration throughout.
The plot extends to 0.21 of an acre (0.08 hectare). To the front of the house is an in & out drive with off road parking and a lawn. Accessed from Bekesbourne Lane via a sliding electric gate is a walled courtyard with further parking and an EV charging point. The principal garden faces south east and has a magnificent Magnolia tree, an ancient Wisteria and is very private and enclosed. As the name suggests, the house is on Littlebourne village green, a beautiful open space with mature trees leading down to the Little Stour river.
