Little Shuttlesfield, Acrise Park Road, Acrise, Folkestone, CT18 8JZ

Guide Price £675,000

Situation The property is wonderfully situated in a rural hamlet of five houses located in the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It is surrounded by beautiful downland providing a wealth of walks, rides and cycle routes. Nearby villages provide necessary amenities, and the coastal town of Folkestone, six miles away, has a range of supermarkets, town centre and out-of-town shops, the high speed rail link to London (50mins), as well as access to the M20 and the Channel Tunnel. The medieval World Heritage city of Canterbury is within half an hour's drive, providing a wide range of shopping, recreational and educational facilities, plus the Marlowe theatre and many bars and restaurants, all within its historic walls.

The Property Little Shuttlesfield is beautifully positioned within this tiny hamlet offering exceptional downland views. The cottage, understood to date from the 16th Century, is mainly of timber-framed construction under a Kent peg-tiled roof, and has been completely renovated in recent years. The current owners have extended the property with a large live-in kitchen. The sitting room has a beamed ceiling, large, inglenook fireplace and wood-burning stove. There are traditional brick floors, wood floors, a flint and brick wall, and many old exposed beams. The superb kitchen contains reclaimed pine cupboards, hand-built by local artisan Wesley Dadson, and has a large walk-in pantry and separate laundry room. Some of the original doorways do require you to bend on entering, however, the actual head height in all the rooms is excellent. The master bedroom has an en suite shower room, whilst upstairs in bedroom two there is a useful walk-in wardrobe. A magnificent oak beam runs through bedroom three and the family bathroom, giving a super quirkiness and indeed a talking point to this most delightful cottage.

Outside The extensive gardens of approx. 0.7 acre surround the property and are mainly laid to neat sweeping lawns and adjoin open downland with fabulous, pastoral views. A large attractive pond sits quite naturally to the front of the house, and there is also plenty of parking and a detached double garage with power and light. To the rear of the house is a lovely, secluded terrace with french doors from the kitchen, which is surrounded with scented shrubs and roses. There is also a summerhouse, inside which is a small heated swimming pool, a potting shed, a substantial greenhouse, plus a woodshed and a vegetable garden with a large fruit cage. A fig tree, and damson, plum and apple trees all grow in the garden.

Services Mains water and electricity connected. Oil fired central heating with condensing boiler installed in 2010. Private drainage/digester. LPG for kitchen hob.
