For Sale4 Bedroom Detached House in The Downs, Cockering Road, Chartham, Canterbury, Kent Ct4 7pu£800,000

It was a real ‘labour of love’ rescuing this property and bringing it back to its former glory. We love the secluded location and the character of the house and it has been a great place to live but we plan to spend most of our time abroad in the future and hope a new family will enjoy everything we have done to create a lovely home. However, it would be possible to increase the living accommodation even further, subject to planning permission, by utilising the large loft space and/or adding an extension onto the side of the property as there is sufficient additional off road parking adjacent to the front of the house.  Chartham is a delightful village with a good primary school, a convenience store, post office and hairdresser as well as the Local and Artichoke pubs, the station and the Chartham Vinery. The historic city of Canterbury is nearby and includes a plethora of ancient buildings, lovely pubs, restaurants and two theatres as well as a variety of high street stores and independent shops, recreational facilities such as a golf course and sports centre and two mainline stations including Canterbury West with the high speed train that will get you to London in under an hour. It also has excellent grammar schools as well as top class public schools and three universities. While there is easy road access London or Folkestone and Dover for trips to the Continent.
