Full Description
Situation
The Cottage enjoys a picturesque setting on Church Street, nestled between St. Mary's Church and the Church Hall, directly opposite the Bowls Club and the village green. This wide, tree-lined street runs parallel to the High Street, offering a peaceful atmosphere while remaining conveniently close to local amenities. The village boasts an excellent range of shops and facilities, including a convenience store, dispensing chemist, post office/newsagent, pub, coffee shop, bakery, butcher, and takeaway. Families will appreciate the highly regarded village primary school, rated "Good" by OFSTED (July 2023). For a broader selection of amenities, Sandwich—with its mainline high-speed rail service and Grammar School—is just a short distance away. Additional facilities in Deal and Dover are also within easy reach, ensuring excellent connectivity and convenience.
The Property
Nestled in the heart of a sought-after village, this well converted three-bedroom cottage is part of a 1832 brick-built Tithe Barn. Offering character, comfort, and modern convenience, the property is set within a peaceful cul-de-sac serving only the Church, Bowls Club, and a select few residences, ensuring a quiet retreat from modern life. Inside, the spacious first floor accommodates three double bedrooms and two modern bathrooms, including an ensuite shower room to the main bedroom. Downstairs, a welcoming sitting room and an open-plan kitchen/diner create a warm and functional living space. The home benefits from gas central heating (combi boiler and radiators) and double-glazed windows throughout. Note – the present owner has obtained Planning Permission for a rear extension and for adding front and rear rooflight windows to the roof slopes to enable a loft conversion to follow, adding a fourth bedroom and third bathroom.
