Running Water, Wingate Hill, Upper Harbledown, CT2

A striking detached property which dates back to 1806 and has recently been extended and renovated to an exceptionally high standard by the current owners who have beautifully reconfigured the property to offer a modern open plan family home.

Running Water offers almost 2000 sq.ft of space over two floors which includes four double bedrooms and splendid ground floor accommodation with bifold doors opening onto the garden. Every inch of the property has been significantly improved with new bathrooms, a high specification kitchen with AEG integrated appliances, fine quality flooring and a stunning wood burning stove installed in the exposed brick fireplace.

Every effort has been made to ensure the property is energy efficient with high levels of insulation, brand new heating system, low energy lighting, solar panels and new windows and doors throughout.

The property enjoys an elevated position overlooking countryside yet just a few miles to the cathedral city of Canterbury. Upper Harbledown is a thriving village with a strong community and ideally placed for getting into Whitstable, Faversham and London. The property occupies approximately a quarter of an acre which includes a fenced garden, decked BBQ area and generous driveway.

The composite front door opens into an entrance hall with cloak room, and stairs to the first floor. A contemporary oak slatted balustrade has been fitted and is a striking contrast against the pale decor, creating a wonderful first impression as the fine craftsmanship of work flourishes throughout.

To the right there is a large dual aspect sitting room with open fireplace, a Stovax multi fuel burner sits nestled within the exposed brick. The rooms are partially open with clear division, allowing families to enjoy the connected living. Bifold doors and sky lights flood the space with natural light whilst framing the views of countryside beyond.

The kitchen has been fitted with an array of high-quality wall and floor units, alongside a large island/breakfast bar which have been finished with slimline compact laminate worktops. All main appliances are integrated including two AEG steam ovens. The room is further enhanced by a utility room which provides direct access to the driveway.
