4 bed detached house for sale

High Street, Wingham, Canterbury, Kent CT3

A private road leads to an enclave of impressive houses surrounded by large gardens including this delightful oak framed residence nestling in the midst of 1.19 acres acres of grounds. It backs onto farmland and includes development potential to build a separate detached property. This eco-friendly house incorporates a geothermal heat pump and solar panels and was built for the owner about 10 years ago. It is approached through automatic wrought iron gates that open onto a vast gravel forecourt with a garage complex and an inner drive that continues through the grounds, flanked by two spacious level lawns interspersed with an array of charming trees.

A welcoming reception hall features wood effect tiled flooring and underfloor heating that flows throughout the ground floor, an impressive central staircase leading to a large galleried landing, a vast understairs cupboard and oak doors to the living accommodation. This includes a good sized dual aspect study/fifth bedroom and a triple aspect sitting room with French doors to a spacious terrace, ornate cornicing and a stone fireplace with a log burner. The cornicing continues in the dining room with sliding door access to the dual aspect kitchen/breakfast room with a Rangemaster cooker, white units with marble worktops housing integrated appliances and a central island/breakfast bar. There is also a fitted utility room, shower room and a door to the forecourt.

The landing includes a seating area, a storage cupboard and access to a fabulous family bathroom. There are three dual aspect double bedrooms including one with access to the boarded attic and the dual aspect main bedroom with a walk in wardrobe and a superb ensuite bathroom. The easy-to-manage grounds are mainly laid to lawn with a terrace, a raised fishpond, a pergola and a summerhouse. The large further lawn is bordered by farmland and tall mature trees and includes a workshop/summerhouse and it is here where a separate property could be built.

What the Owner says:
We had this property constructed to our own design and it has been a superb and energy efficient home. There was a positive attitude from the planners regarding the possibility of building a single dwelling on the further lawn but for health reasons we were unable to pursue it but there is definitely development potential.
