4 bedroom village house for sale

A former public house, this impressive period property has been sympathetically reconfigured and beautifully refurbished to create an extensive and versatile family home of great charm and individuality.

Set within the sought-after village of Bekesbourne, the house combines characterful features with modern comfort, offering a light and welcoming interior and generous accommodation throughout.

The ground floor is arranged around a superb dual aspect family room with an elegant wood-burning stove, double doors to a sheltered courtyard garden and wide bi-fold doors opening into the sitting/dining room. This delightful space provides a cosy sitting area with a second stove and a dining area with solid wood flooring, together creating an ideal setting for both family life and entertaining.

The kitchen has been thoughtfully designed and is fitted with a comprehensive range of units with granite work surfaces and integrated appliances. A skylight window enhances the natural light, while bi-fold doors to the dining area ensure a seamless connection between spaces. The adjoining breakfast room, with its exposed brick chimney breast and wood-burning stove, adds further charm and provides access to both the courtyard and the staircase. A useful rear lobby/boot room leads to the garden and a contemporary wet room with W.C.
On the first floor, the main bedroom is a generous double with a built-in wardrobe. Three further bedrooms are served by a beautifully appointed family bathroom with separate bath and shower. Planning consent for an ensuite to the main bedroom has previously been granted and could be resubmitted if desired.

The property enjoys underfloor heating to the ground floor and bespoke wooden shutters to selected windows and doors.

Externally, the house is complemented by a large paved courtyard garden with pergola, ideal for outdoor dining. The main garden extends beyond and is predominantly laid to lawn, interspersed with vegetable beds and a wildlife pond. A detached outbuilding provides a utility room and workshop with loft space, offering excellent potential for conversion to an annexe, subject to the necessary consents.

Bekesbourne is a charming rural village with a station just 200 yards from the property, providing regular services to Canterbury and London Victoria. The nearby village of Bridge offers an excellent range of local amenities including a highly regarded primary school, shops, pharmacy, dentist and the celebrated Pig Hotel at Bridge Place. The Cathedral City of Canterbury is close by, offering a comprehensive selection of schools, leisure and cultural facilities together with High-Speed rail links to London St Pancras in under an hour.
