A rare opportunity to acquire a charming detached cottage circa16th-17th century, set within 3 acres (*TBV) of paddocks and gardens in the rural hamlet of Hoath, near the city of Canterbury.
Owned by the same family for many years, the property now requires updating and refurbishment but offers significant scope for enhancement and potential further development, (subject to the necessary planning consents).
The accommodation comprises an entrance hall, fitted kitchen/breakfast room with walk-in pantry, ground floor family bathroom, sitting room, and two first-floor double bedrooms, one benefiting from an en suite cloakroom.
Externally, the property enjoys mature wraparound gardens with trees, shrubs, ornamental pond, and brick built well together with ample off-road parking, a detached brick built garage, former Nissen hut, and potential for equestrian use with space for stables and a riding arena,( subject to planning permission).LOCATION & AREA AWARENESS: Situated in the charming village of Hoath, approximately 6 miles north-east of Canterbury, the property enjoys a peaceful semi-rural setting with convenient access to a range of local amenities. Hoath itself benefits from a village church and hall, a primary school, and a traditional public house. The surrounding countryside also offers direct access to scenic footpaths, bridleways and quiet country lanes, ideal for walking, cycling and horse riding.
The historic cathedral city of Canterbury provides an extensive range of shopping, leisure and cultural amenities, including the popular Whitefriars Shopping Centre, highly regarded schools, restaurants and entertainment venues.
The thriving coastal towns of Herne Bay and Whitstable are both within easy reach and offer attractive seafronts, independent boutiques, well-known retailers, supermarkets and a wide variety of cafés, restaurants and public houses. The area is also well served by a good selection of primary and secondary schools, along with healthcare facilities including doctors’ surgeries and dental practices.
Westwood Cross Shopping Centre is also readily accessible, together with the revitalised seaside towns of Margate and Ramsgate, the latter being home to the country’s only Royal Harbour.
Excellent transport links are available via the nearby A299 (Thanet Way), providing convenient connections to the M2 at Brenley Corner.
