4 bed detached house for sale

Nargate Street, Littlebourne CT3

An enchanting and meticulously renovated four bedroomed Grade II listed detached residence, nestled in the highly sought-after village of Littlebourne. Boasting ample off-road parking and a beautifully landscaped garden, this remarkable home offers a rare blend of period character and modern luxury.

Dating back to the early 1800s, this former village shop has recently undergone an extensive renovation programme that has elevated its historical charm. The transformation combines fine craftsmanship and elegant heritage décor with thoughtful contemporary enhancements, creating a home of exceptional quality and distinction.

Internally, the property is rich in character, showcasing a host of original features including vaulted ceilings, rustic exposed beams, and charming brickwork. Externally, the attention to detail continues with a relaid Kent peg tiled roof, restored sash windows, and a fresh pale render – all contributing to a flawless finish. The renovation is a testament to the owner’s impeccable eye for design and preservation.

The rear entrance to the house, positioned conveniently next to the parking area, offers the most practical access. A solid wooden door, painted in a rich bottle green, opens into a striking vaulted entrance hall adorned with exposed beams and decorative panelling. At the far end of the corridor, a latch-key door leads to a spacious cellar that extends beneath much of the ground floor, while to the left, there is a well-appointed utility room and a cloakroom with WC.

The main living area is thoughtfully designed with an open-plan layout that subtly defines distinct zones for dining, cooking, and relaxing. Natural light pours in through the restored windows, creating a bright and welcoming atmosphere. A wood-burning stove, set within exposed brickwork, adds warmth and character, whilst the sitting area is enhanced by intricate wall panelling, lending a touch of refined elegance.

The kitchen is a standout feature, fitted with a central island and bespoke cabinetry that seamlessly integrates all main appliances. Finished with elegant quartz worktops, it strikes a perfect balance between style and functionality.
To the first floor there are three double bedrooms each with their own luxury ensuite bathrooms, all with decorative tiles, an elegant suite and high quality fixtures. To the second floor there is an additional bedroom which is over 24ft long, with windows to both the front and the rear.

Outside:

The property occupies a generous plot with a gated driveway leading to ample off-road parking with a single garage. To the right of the driveway there is a studio ideal for a home business or gym, beyond the driveway there is a pretty enclosed garden which is mainly laid to lawn with several fruit trees and established shrubs.
