Barnsole Road, Staple, Canterbury, Kent, CT3

This charming L-shaped Grade II Listed was originally built in 1704 and extended in 1850. It is surrounded by a curved brick wall and high hedging and situated within 0.7898 acres of gardens and a paddock. The property includes delightful external features such as original brickwork, chimney stacks, multi-pane casement windows and oak doors and has a large gravel driveway. This leads to the garage and is bordered by shrub and rose beds, lawns, a path to the front door and access to a patio and back door.

The hall has parquet flooring and leads to a family room with a brick fireplace and log burner while the characterful living room includes exposed beams, an inglenook fireplace and access to the country style kitchen/breakfast room with ceiling beams, terracotta floor tiles, a range cooker and units housing various appliances. There is also a utility room, a cloakroom and access to the cellar. The first floor landing has a fitted cupboard and leads to a family bathroom and four double bedrooms with delightful views including one with a walk-in wardrobe.

Outside there are mature trees, lawn areas divided by hedging, a greenhouse and a gravel path leading to a wildlife pond as well as to a kid's ‘hideaway' garden room and the paddock. Plans have been passed to replace the existing garage with a new double garage and two offices above as well as a bathroom and a balcony.

What the Owner says:

We bought this property in 2015 as we wanted a farmhouse and a large garden and we love our home but are re-locating to Ireland. The village is friendly with its recreation ground, church and village hall. We live opposite the Black Pig pub/restaurant and are not far from Barnsole Vineyard and a garden centre. There are wonderful places to go for walks including to Wingham with its primary school, pubs and shops and nearby Gibsons farm shop/food hall. It is only about nine miles to Canterbury with its ancient buildings, high street stores, individual shops, theatres and restaurants as well as two mainline stations including Canterbury West where the fast train will get you to London in under an hour. It is less than five miles to the mediaeval Cinque Port town of Sandwich and its Championship golf courses, while Adisham includes the nearest railway station and a primary school rated Outstanding by Ofsted.
