Boyke Lane, Rhodes Minnis, Canterbury, Kent

On the outskirts of Rhodes Minnis and nestling in 2.51 acres is this unique bungalow, immediately available with no forward chain. Surrounded by countryside in the beautiful Kent Downs National Landscape it includes three paddocks, a stable block with three stalls, additional stables and a storage barn. It has recently been redecorated and includes a new kitchen, bathroom and carpets and has the potential to be extended, subject to planning.

A five-bar gate opens onto a driveway, flanked by hedging, lawn and shrubs, leading to a double garage. A secondary gate and path lead to the front entrance and are surrounded by lawn, shrubs and high hedging, screening the property from the road. The front door opens into the hall with direct access to the large dual aspect lounge. This has vast patio doors to the rear terrace and a brick fireplace with an extended tiled hearth. It has a door to the spacious dining room which also has a brick fireplace and, in turn, a door to the kitchen. This features white flat fronted units housing built in ovens and a hob with space for additional appliances. It has a door to the conservatory with access to the rear garden. Along the corridor is the new family bathroom and three bedrooms. One has a large picture window while the principal bedroom has fitted cupboards and views over the paddocks.

The rear terrace spans virtually the length of the property and the gardens are beautiful with lawns, fruit trees and well-stocked borders. The paddocks are fenced with water troughs and surrounded by attractive mature trees, while a flat area could be converted into a manege and provide hard standing for a horse box. There is also the opportunity to enjoy the ‘good life’ with plenty of space to ‘grow your own’ and house livestock.

What the Owner says:

This has been a very special home for twenty-six years. We loved the peaceful location with excellent places for walking, cycling and off-road riding, particularly in Lyminge Forest. However we are only a short distance from Lyminge and Elham.
Lyminge village has convenience store, post office and newsagent, library, pharmacy, Chinese restaurant, pub, hairdresser and a doctor's surgery. There is also a primary school, cricket club and the Etchinghill Golf Club. Fast trains from Ashford International take about 36 minutes to St Pancras and it is not far to the Channel Tunnel. for trips to the Continent. While Elham includes a gastro pub, primary school, a corner shop/newsagent and a post office in the pub three times a week. There are football and cricket clubs, tennis courts and a hall with various activities. Canterbury, Folkestone, Dover and Ashford include excellent grammar and private schools.
