Full Description
Situation
The property is tucked away off a small spur from The Droveway being a private road. This delightful setting with surrounding countryside consists of gently undulating hills and attractive walks across National Trust land including the dramatic White Cliffs of Dover. The village is not only picturesque but has a flourishing community including local primary school, general store and Post Office, along with a selection of public houses and cafes. The larger towns of Deal and Dover, to the North and South respectively, offer a good choice of shopping, sporting and leisure facilities. Dover port provides regular services to the continent and mainline railway station with links to the Javelin high speed service to London St. Pancras.
The Property
Svenska is a deceptively spacious detached home arranged over two levels, set back from the road with wraparound gardens and far-reaching countryside views. A porch leads into a wide reception hall with built-in storage and an open-tread staircase. The bright, triple-aspect sitting room features a striking ragstone fireplace and patio doors to the rear garden. At the rear, a spacious kitchen/dining room includes a breakfast bar, integrated appliances, and double doors to a conservatory with access to the rear and side gardens. A rear vestibule provides side access and leads to a utility room. From the inner hall are two double bedrooms and a large bathroom with separate shower. Upstairs are three more double bedrooms, including a principal suite with en suite bath and shower, a small family bathroom, and eaves storage. While well-proportioned and well laid out, the property would benefit from updating, offering a superb opportunity to create a fantastic family home in a lovely setting.

Outside
Externally, Svenska is set well back from the road, approached via a five-bar gate that opens to a private parking area and side driveway, leading to a single garage with additional storage space and housing the warm air gas boiler. The front garden offers privacy, screened by a variety of mature trees, shrubs, and well-established planting. A lawned area surrounds a pond, enhancing the overall sense of tranquillity. Side access leads to a separate rear garden, where a paved terrace provides an ideal spot for outdoor dining or relaxation, enjoying uninterrupted views across the surrounding rolling countryside. Steps descend to a lower lawn, which is privately enclosed by mature hedging, offering a peaceful and sheltered retreat.
