Full Description

Charming Freehold Home in Elham Village, Kent: An Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
This delightful brick-built house dates back to 1901, featuring traditional Kent peg tiles with spare tiles stored in the greenhouse. Nestled in a peaceful village, the property offers a cosy atmosphere in winter and stays pleasantly cool in summer, thanks to its double glazing and smart electric heating system. Note: There is no gas supply in Elham
Set over three floors, the property consists of three double bedrooms with a family bathroom and master bedroom ensuite. The ground floor consists of a lounge, dining room, and large kitchen with solid oak units and black marble worktops. With a semi open plan layout the living space allows an airy feel while maintaining clear zones for dining, cooking, and socialising.
Immaculately presented and maintained, the house benefits from recent upgrades including a renovated roof with an eight-year guarantee, cleaned gutters, and well-maintained chimneys fitted with bird guards. Inside, tilt-and-turn windows grace the lounge, master bedroom, and family bathroom, enhancing comfort and ventilation.
White goods include a brand new American fridge-freezer (still under guarantee) and 1000mm range cooker, the buyer will also benefit from an integrated washer/dryer (2023) and integrated dishwasher (2024)
Practical amenities include under-floor heating in the kitchen, a solid fuel stove in the lounge, and an original 1901 range in the dining room, alongside electric central heating with separate thermostats in each room. The east facing garden is low maintenance with bio-weed matting, flowering clematis and tudor rambling rose, and two recently fitted garden decks at the top and bottom of the garden ensure morning and evening sunshine.
The village hosts three public houses with bed and breakfasts attached, a local shop open seven days a week from 8am to 6pm, an hourly bus service between Canterbury and Folkestone, and a local primary school rated good by Offsted. Two village halls host all sorts of activities from yoga to tennis, and Elham Valley Walks, as listed on the Kent Downs website, take you through and around the village that can trace its roots back to Saxon times and past the one-time home of the film star, Audrey Hepburn, while other residents have included the prime minister Sir Anthony Eden.
The village has no restrictions on parking and, while there is no off street parking allocated to the property, it is rare that one can't park directly outside the front door.
