Description
A well-presented, modern home with outdoor pool, in the heart of a desirable village.
With red-brick and weather-boarded elevations, Chester House is an attractive modern property offering light, airy and versatile accommodation with generous reception space, providing a relaxed open ambience. There is a garage and driveway with space for two cars, and a private, low-maintenance garden with outdoor swimming pool. Village amenities are within a short distance, including an award-winning gastro-pub.
A door from the reception hall opens to the comfortable sitting room which has a fireplace. An archway leads to a bright conservatory with French doors opening to the outside terrace.
The kitchen/breakfast room has a glazed side alcove, providing a light-filled seating area perfect for a morning coffee. Fitted with sleek, modern cabinetry topped with stone work surfaces, and an island, the well-appointed kitchen is a generous, sociable space with ample room for a large table. An adjacent utility room offers a hide-away for domestic appliances.
There are four first floor bedrooms (two with charming views towards Elham church) and a family bathroom, which is complemented by a smart shower room on the floor below. The principal bedroom is generously proportioned with a wall of fitted wardrobes, and benefits from an en suite bathroom.
There is underfloor heating on both ground and first floor. Outside
Occupying a corner plot position, the property is approached via a wide driveway which leads to the garage, with a series of pedestrian steps, edged by wrought-iron railings, rising to the storm porch and front door. A timber gate opens into the rear garden with irrigation system, and a paved pathway which extends behind the house to link with the side terrace.
Offering a secluded spot for outdoor dining and relaxation, the terrace is bordered by a brick-retaining wall topped by glass and steel balustrading, with a raised, hexagonal outdoor pool. There is a tucked-away lawned garden, and a neat gravel garden at the front.
Situation
Picturesque Elham sits in the heart of the Kent Downs, mid-way along the meandering Elham valley linking Folkestone to Canterbury.

Folkestone provides a broader range of retail and leisure facilities, and Canterbury offers independent retailers and major stores, together with excellent dining and cultural amenities including theatres and cinemas. There is an array of schooling in the area, in both state and private sectors.
Sandling station offers regular services to Ashford International and central London. The A2 and M20 are easily accessible for connections to the wider major road network. The area has good access to the Continent.
