Energy Performance CertificateKeepers Cottage is set in an enviable location on a private road, enjoying stunning rural views over open farmland, while remaining just a few minutes’ drive from Bridge, Kingston, and Canterbury. Nearby villages, including Barham and Bridge, provide an excellent range of everyday amenities such as a bowls club, award-winning village shop/post office, restaurants, public houses, doctors’ surgery, and highly regarded primary schools. Bishopsbourne is also within easy reach, offering a popular complex with a baker/patisserie, farm shop, and tearoom. A footbridge over the A2 provides convenient pedestrian access to Barham, and there are regular bus services along the A2 connecting to Canterbury, Dover, and Folkestone, as well as additional routes from the Elham Valley, making the property well placed for both local and regional travel.
The main cottage is beautifully arranged over two floors, combining period charm with comfortable modern living. An enclosed porch leads into a welcoming hallway, opening to a cosy sitting room with a wood-burning stove and an extensively fitted kitchen/breakfast room with adjoining utility/larder and planning permission to extend. A large conservatory, currently used as a dining room, enjoys wonderful views over the gardens and floods the space with natural light. Upstairs, a wide landing with exposed pine floorboards and a striking beam leads to two double bedrooms with built-in wardrobes and a spacious family bathroom with corner bath and separate walk-in shower. Set apart from the main house is a self-contained superb annexe, providing excellent additional accommodation with a double bedroom, sitting room, fitted kitchen/dining area, shower room and cloakroom, making it ideal for guests, multi-generational living or potential Airbnb income.
The gardens are a true highlight of the property, beautifully landscaped and set within expansive grounds, offering breathtaking, far-reaching rural views from every front-facing window. Winding paths meander through well-kept lawns, mature shrubs, and trees, complemented by an ornamental pond, greenhouse, garden shed, and several wood stores. A unique summer house, cleverly designed to follow the sun throughout the day, is perfectly positioned within the fully enclosed rear garden. The property is bordered by light historic woodland to the rear and open farmland to the front, providing a wonderful sense of privacy and seclusion. Parking is available to the front of both the main house and the annexe. This truly special home offers unbridled charm, privacy, and endless potential—early viewing is highly recommended!
