Nestling in about 1.48 acres of grounds on the outskirts of Stelling Minnis in an AONB, is this 17th century farmhouse (not listed) with later extensions. It includes two paddocks, three stables, a large workshop with roof solar panels and an annexe. There is a spacious parking area and steps to the usual entrance, while a gate and pathway flanked by the front lawn and high hedging leads to the original front door.

The farmhouse includes wood doors, exposed ceiling and wall beams and original herringbone tiled flooring in the hall. The dining room features a brick wall and an inglenook fireplace with the original bread oven, an adjacent utility room and access to the spacious, dual aspect sitting room. This also features a large inglenook with a log burner and exposed beams as well as a brick covered vertical beam, the inner front door, an oak staircase to the first floor, a second fireplace and access to a snug and a study. The contemporary kitchen has an Aga, a larder and shaker style units housing appliances and is open plan to a conservatory providing a seating/dining area and French doors to a terrace.

The first floor includes a beamed corridor, two family bathrooms and four double bedrooms. One has fitted wardrobes and shelving, another has an ensuite shower and the first bedroom features a walk in wardrobe, fitted cupboards and an ensuite bathroom.

The annexe has a spacious dual aspect lounge with an inglenook fireplace incorporating a log burner and stairs to the first floor. The kitchen/diner has a larder and fitted units housing appliances, space for a table and chairs, an adjacent utility room and access to a courtyard. Upstairs there is a galleried landing/office area with attic access, a bathroom and a double bedroom with a balcony

There is a rear lawn and a gate to a wild garden with a plethora of trees and shrubs interspersed with lawned pathways, leading to a paddock, currently used as a wildlife garden, adjacent to a smaller paddock with fruit trees and a log store.

What the Owner says:


We moved here about 16 years ago as we wanted a spacious, characterful country home where we could happily bring up our three children. However, now the children have grown up and moved away it is time to downsize and start a new chapter in our lives. The annexe is very useful and we enjoyed having horses, but there is the opportunity to develop the stables into additional residential accommodation, subject to the appropriate permissions.

Stelling Minnis includes a local pub, a local shop, a farm cafe and a village hall hosting various activities. There is an excellent primary school and a bus stop outside the house that takes children to secondary schools in Canterbury. There are excellent opportunities for cycling as well as riding through Lyminge Forest and golfers can play at Roundwood Hall, Etchinghill or Sene Valley golf clubs. Kent County Cricket ground is only 20 minutes away.

Canterbury includes historic buildings, high street stores and individual shops, The Marlowe theatre, a cinema complex, excellent bars and restaurants and two mainline stations with the high speed train from Canterbury West whisking you to London in under an hour. There are first class grammar and private schools as well as three universities and additional education facilities are also available in Dover, Folkestone and Ashford.
