5 bed detached house for sale

Wotton Court, St. Nicholas At Wade, Birchington CT7

A home of exceptional quality, occupying a 0.23 acre plot and tucked away at the end of a private drive of just 3 prestigious homes.
Sticklers for perfection and attention to detail, the owners have meticulously maintained and improved the property over their 22 year tenure, presenting a luxurious home which provides an impressive 2372 sq ft (220 sq m) of accommodation (excluding the garage).
A spacious entrance hall provides an immediate sense of grandeur and sets the tone for what lies beyond.
The large lounge features a huge bay window with a pleasant outlook of the garden and a brick fireplace with multi-fuel stove proves to be a real focal point. An archway opens into the dining area and is a great space for dinner parties whilst French doors lead through to the orangery. The orangery is just the perfect place to appreciate the views of the beautiful wraparound garden with a glass of something nice in the afternoon.
The property continues to impress with the recently upgraded kitchen/breakfast room which features quartz worktops, Karndean flooring and built in appliances. A very handy utility room and cloakroom completes the vast ground floor.
An attractive balustrade staircase with double height stairwell rises up to a galleried landing. Five bedrooms (Master En-Suite) and a sleek contemporary bathroom are found up here. The luxurious en-suite is akin to a 5* hotel suite with a Jacuzzi bath, double shower and 'His & Hers' vanity units complemented by quartz surfaces and extensive storage cupboards.

Moving outside and the rear garden is an absolute paradise for those who are green fingered. Well stocked with a plethora of plants, flowers and fruit trees, this will be awash with colour in the spring and summer months. The garden encompassed the property meaning there are various areas to enjoy the sunshine in peace and tranquility as well places to entertain and barbeque from.

There is ample off-road parking at the front of the house via the large block paved driveway which leads to an attached double garage with electric up and over door.
A very unique and rare opportunity all set within the heart of the desirable village of St. Nicholas-at-Wade with its village pubs, post office and convenient store just yards away.

Location
Nestled between the seaside towns of Birchington and Herne Bay and only 10 miles from the historic city of Canterbury is the semi-rural village of St Nicholas-at-Wade.
Originally named after the Patron Saint of sailors, it is reputed that there was once a channel of water that you would have to wade across to reach the village. The Wantsum Channel was a strait separating the Isle of Thanet from the north-eastern extremity of the English county of Kent and connecting the English Channel and the Thames Estuary. It was a major shipping route when Britain was part of the Roman Empire, and continued in use until it was closed by silting in the late Middle Ages. Its course is now represented by the River Stour and the River Wantsum, which is little more than a drainage ditch lying between Reculver and St Nicholas-at-Wade and joins the Stour about 1.7 miles (2.7 km) south-east of Sarre.
St Nicholas is proud of its village hall dating from the 1930's and its sports field with cricket pavilion in Bell Meadow that host's cricket matches and of course, not forgetting the Church dating back to Norman times. St Nicholas boasts one of the most sought after primary schools in the area and has an outstanding Ofsted report. There are two local pubs serving exceptional food and a village shop with post office.
Despite its semi-rural setting, it is under 1 mile to the A299 that provides links to the M2 and only 3.3 miles to Birchington train station that has connections to Canterbury West where you can pick up the high-speed service that will take you to London St Pancras in under an hour.
It is only a 4 mile drive to the beautiful Minnis Bay which is popular for windsurfing, kitesurfing and provides access to some excellent coastal cycling and walking routes. There are three prestigious golf courses in the area. Royal St Georges - home to the Open every 4 to 5 years, Princes Golf Course and North Foreland, which are all 'Links' style courses.
