The Street, Petham, Kent

Following a major transformation that introduced a completely new first floor and refreshed every corner of the home, this property now presents an impressive turnkey opportunity for modern family living. Combining a relaxed rural aesthetic with high-quality finishes, it offers bright, spacious interiors and far-reaching countryside views, all within a 10-minute drive of Canterbury city centre. A striking double-height entrance hall sets the tone on arrival, with elegant panelled detailing reflecting the home’s elevated design. The layout flows into a superb open-plan kitchen, dining and family room, creating the heart of the home. The bespoke kitchen features a substantial island, dedicated pantry and excellent proportions, while the adjoining living spaces are flooded with natural light and open directly onto the garden, overlooking the neighbouring orchard and countryside. The upper ground floor also includes a versatile study/playroom, ideal for home working or family use, alongside a separate reception room offering a cosy retreat. A practical utility and boot room with WC and external access provides the perfect everyday entrance for muddy boots, pets and countryside walks. Upstairs are four genuine double bedrooms, a feature rarely found in many newer homes. The principal bedroom benefits from a beautifully finished en-suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a contemporary family bathroom. Both spaces reflect the home’s cohesive design, quality materials and light-filled atmosphere. Outside, a detached outbuilding nestled among mature trees and overlooking the orchard provides valuable additional space. Currently used as a studio/summer house, it would also make an ideal home office, gym or creative workspace. The garden is private and generously sized, bordered by established trees and open countryside. It provides an ideal setting for outdoor entertaining, family life or simply enjoying the peaceful rural outlook. Additional benefits include ample private parking, EV charging and a discreet position set back from the road, enhancing the property’s sense of privacy and seclusion.
