7 bed detached house for sale

Stone Street, Petham, Canterbury, Kent CT4

Set within a peaceful rural position with far reaching views across rolling countryside towards Stelling Minnis, Parkmead is a substantial detached residence offering flexible accommodation. Occupying a generous plot of around 0.19 acres, the property provides extensive living space alongside excellent potential for further enhancement.

The house has been in the same family ownership for over twenty years and has evolved significantly during that time, most notably with the addition of a spacious three bedroom self contained annexe. This thoughtful extension offers a fantastic opportunity for multi generational living, guest accommodation or the potential to generate additional income as a holiday let.

The main house opens into a welcoming entrance hall with a reception room positioned to the front and stairs rising to the first floor. To the rear of the property lies the heart of the home, a generous kitchen and breakfast room which flows seamlessly into the main living area. This impressive open plan space spans the full depth of the property and enjoys direct access to the garden through French doors, creating an ideal environment for both everyday family life and entertaining. The sitting area is centred around a wood burning stove set within the chimney breast, adding warmth and character to the space.

On the first floor, there are three well proportioned double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom enjoys particularly fine views across the surrounding countryside and benefits from its own en-suite shower room.

The self contained annexe is accessed via a separate entrance at the side of the property and has been designed to provide comfortable independent living. The ground floor features a bright open plan living area with clearly defined zones for cooking, dining and relaxing, with the modern kitchen fitted with a range of contemporary units and integrated appliances. Stairs rise to the first floor where three generously sized bedrooms can be found, along with a recently fitted bathroom and an en suite shower room to the main bedroom.

Externally, Parkmead sits within a generous plot with a large driveway providing parking for several vehicles. Running alongside the property is an impressive 80ft workshop which offers significant potential for further conversion or adaptation, subject to the necessary consents.

The rear garden begins with a spacious patio area, ideal for outdoor dining, and leads onto a lawned garden dotted with young trees and mature shrubs, all enjoying uninterrupted views across open countryside.

The property is located in a tranquil rural setting near the village of Petham within the beautiful North Downs countryside, yet remains conveniently positioned just a short drive from the Cathedral city of Canterbury. Petham itself offers a welcoming village community with a primary school, village hall and historic church, while the surrounding countryside provides exceptional walking and outdoor pursuits.

Parkmead presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial country home with flexible living arrangements and breathtaking rural views, all within easy reach of Canterbury and its excellent amenities.
