The Street, Adisham, Canterbury, Kent

Tucked away along the cul-de-sac end of The Street in Adisham village in an elevated position is this characterful property built around 1850. It includes exposed beams, pine doors and fireplaces but has been sensitively updated.

There is a block paved forecourt and a double garage with a fitted workshop and access to a second storey, so could be converted into a separate annex. A pathway, flanked by lawns, hedging and shrub beds, leads up to the studded period front door and a porch opening into the hall.

A dual aspect sitting room has exposed ceiling beams and a brick fireplace with a log burner while the charming lounge also has a fireplace and a log burner. Open archways lead to the contemporary kitchen/breakfast room and to the dining room with French doors to a courtyard.

The kitchen/breakfast room features an Aga that provides hot water and heating for much of the year, a range cooker, shaker style units with granite worktops housing built in appliances and a large central island. There is direct access to a utility room, a cloakroom and a door to a cobbled patio area with brick steps to the upper garden.

The beamed and galleried first floor landing leads to a study with French doors to a terrace and the upper garden lawns. This floor also includes a luxury family bathroom, a large dual aspect double bedroom with a beamed ceiling and a fireplace and the main suite. It features a dressing area, built in wardrobes and an ensuite wet room and direct access to another double bedroom currently in use as a dressing room.

On the top floor there is a charming double bedroom with a vaulted and beamed ceiling as well as a second vaulted ceiling room that could be a single bedroom with a raised storage area.

As well as the large terrace bordered by a spacious level lawn, there is a barbecue and pizza oven and steps to a raised decked patio for al fresco dining and an additional lawn area bordered by raised shrub beds.
