Church Lane, Hoath, Canterbury, CT3

Greenacre is an enchanting medieval cottage (not listed) nestled in the picturesque and highly sought after village of Hoath.
Enjoyed by the current owner for 37 years, the property is believed to be a former Yeoman farmhouse with attractive red brick elevations which sit beneath a Kent Peg tiled roof. Beautiful gardens encompass the house on a sumptuous 1/4 acre plot - a paradise for those who are green fingered.
A plethora of original period features are found inside which include exposed timbers, traditional fireplaces, and original Kentish timber doors.
The ground floor offers spacious and inviting living areas. A cosy sitting room features an exposed chimney breast with a log-burning stove, perfect for relaxing in evenings, while the substantial dining room showcases a striking period fireplace and is perfect for entertaining. To the rear, a large kitchen provides ample storage with a range of wall, drawer, and base units, and opens directly onto the garden. The bright and airy breakfast room, with views across the rear garden, offers a welcoming additional space for everyday living. A very handy ground floor shower room with W.C. adds practical convenience.
An attractive solid oak staircase rises to the first floor which presents three generously proportioned bedrooms, each with their own charm, including feature fireplaces. A study, currently used for storage, but ideal as a home office or nursery adds further versatility. A modern family bathroom concludes this endearing home.
Moving outside, the property continues to impress. The rear garden offers a good degree of privacy and is beautifully landscaped with a paved patio, manicured lawn, planted borders and an ornamental pond. Multiple outbuildings (three with power and lighting) serve as workshops, complemented by a large summerhouse overlooking the pond. The garden's size and layout make it perfect for a range of uses, from growing vegetables or keeping chickens to summer garden party's. A large crazy paved driveway provides extensive off-road parking at the front.
This unique and characterful home offers the best of country living with historic charm, generous living space, and outdoor versatility, all set within a sought after village setting just minutes from the coast in one direction and the city of Canterbury in the other.
