2 Bed Semi-Detached House For Sale The Street, Canterbury, CT3

Could This Grade II Listed Cottage Have Any More Style, Character And Charm? And when you combine the Historic Village Location with the gorgeous Exposed Beams, Thatched Roof and quirky internal features it creates a Truly Special 17th Century Home.

If you’re drawn to this quirky and unique cottage I’m guessing you aren’t moving here from a new build?

This cottage, located in the centre of a chocolate box village which dates back to Roman times, couldn’t be any more different to a soulless ‘neutral’ modern home on a sprawling estate!

And the central location means it will be ideal if you’re looking for somewhere where you can throw yourself into village life.

This semi detached cottage is part of a pair which date back to the 17th century.

Even in a village filled with charming medieval properties, they do stand out as something a little bit special.

STEP INSIDE

The ground floor has a cosy living room / dining room with beautiful exposed beams, a gorgeous fireplace and a traditional stove.

The kitchen at the rear is relatively modern compared to the very traditional reception room. It has a range of shaker-style fitted units and gives access to the sun trap, south facing back garden.

Upstairs has two spacious double bedrooms and there’s  a white tiled bathroom located next to the kitchen on the ground floor.

STEP OUTSIDE

The garden is a secluded treat, with low maintenance artificial grass, decking and a lovely wooden summerhouse where you can sit out and enjoy the sun.

THE VILLAGE

The pretty village of Ash dates back to medieval times and in that context this 17th century cottage is something of a new build! 

It won’t take you long to find an older property, with the imposing Grade I listed St Nicholas Church just a short walk away. 

The cottage is in the heart of the village, with the village store just a couple of doors away and a choice of other local shops and eateries, including the family-friendly Chequer Inn. 

The award winning Ash Village Hall is at the heart of the village community, with a host of classes and activities for all ages. 

It’ll only take you 5 minutes to walk there and as you’ll pass the library on the way you should never run out of things to do (or read)!

OUT AND ABOUT

The village is so quiet and peaceful you wouldn’t believe that it’s only 2 minutes from the A257, meaning it’s only a short 10 minute drive to Sandwich.

Sandwich is one of the best-preserved medieval towns in Britain, which hasn’t changed much at all since the Domesday Book. You’ll love its laid-back vibe and also the fantastic range of independent shops, pubs and restaurants

You can’t mention Sandwich without thinking of golf, as you’re also less than 15 minutes drive from the world famous Royal St Georges course. Noted as being the No.1 links course in England, it has played host to world famous Open Championship fifteen times (the most recent being in 2021). 

With London less than 90 minutes away, the area is a popular getaway destination.  Visitors flock to the area looking to explore the historic nearby towns or enjoy the popular Kent coastline. The historic coastal towns of Deal and Walmer are less than 20 minutes drive away.

Alternatively you can head 30 minutes west on the A257 to historic Canterbury. It’s one of the most beautiful historic cities in the country, home to a UNESCO World Heritage Site along with a host of cultural attractions and great shopping.

This charming period property is ready to move into. But it also offers the potential to make small improvements and put your own stamp on the place.

I’m expecting plenty of interest in this unique property so please call to arrange a viewing.
