The Property
This beautifully updated and thoughtfully designed Grade II listed cottage is perfectly positioned in the heart of the pretty and sought-after village of Barham, ideally located halfway between the vibrant city of Canterbury and the coastal town of Folkestone.
The property has been lovingly improved, with great attention to detail. Notable enhancements include cast iron period radiators and a new, stylish shower room designed in keeping with the traditional character of the cottage.
Inside, the décor has been carefully chosen to highlight the property’s charming period features while offering a fresh, light countryside feel.
Entering via the porch, you’re welcomed into the kitchen, which boasts a warm and inviting cottage style. It features matching units, solid oak worktops, and space for a range-style oven. A breakfast bar provides the perfect spot for casual dining. A delightful open-plan flow connects the kitchen with the sitting room, creating a comfortable and sociable family environment.
Upstairs, the property offers two double bedrooms, with the main bedroom benefitting from lovely views across the village green, while a recently installed shower room with WC and basin finishes off the accommodation.
- The Situation
The property is just a short distance from the centre of Barham, which boasts an excellent Primary School, Post Office / Village Store, Public House/Restaurant, Bowls Club, active Village Hall and historic Church. Barham forms part of the picturesque Elham Valley, at the heart of the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty over which there is a wealth of walks, rides and cycle routes. A regular bus service runs through the centre of the village giving easy access to the Cathedral City of Canterbury to the north; whilst to the south lies the Channel Tunnel town of Folkestone and the Ancient Cinque Port Town of Hythe on the coast. All of which offer a wide range of shopping, recreational and educational facilities; together with high-speed mainline train services to London St Pancras. Nearby cross channel services, along with the Channel Tunnel, provide easy access into Europe.
