The original reception rooms have been opened up to create one large living and dining space - a generous room with plenty of space for both relaxing and entertaining.

The two original fireplaces have been retained, giving the room character and definition, while the large bay window brings in plenty of natural light and a large window to the rear overlooking the rear garden.

The newly fitted kitchen sits alongside the living and dining space, making the downstairs feel connected and sociable.

Traditional framed cream cabinetry is paired with solid timber worktops and integrated appliances, giving the kitchen a timeless feel while providing everything needed for modern family life.

A separate utility room adds valuable storage and workspace, with a downstairs WC and cellar providing further practicality.

New luxury lvt flooring runs through the entrance hall, kitchen, utility and WC, while the original floorboards are found on the first floor.

Upstairs are four bedrooms, offering plenty of flexibility for family, guests, dressing space, hobbies or working from home.

The principal bedroom has a generous bay window, original cupboard space and original floorboards, while the second bedroom retains an original Victorian fireplace and original built in cupboards.

The third having views across the rear gardens, the forth with stunning views- quite the view if working from home. The family bathroom completes the first floor.

The outlook One of the things that makes the house particularly unusual is the outlook.

The front-facing windows on both floors look towards the magnificent neighbouring church, its architecture providing a striking backdrop and giving the house a wonderful feeling of space.

It is a rare combination - a tucked away no through road with a handful of homes, and an impressive historic building directly opposite. The garden Outside, the garden is made for enjoying.

The rear garden is a real suntrap, with a relaxed, established feel and different spaces to enjoy throughout the day.

There is a patio for outdoor dining, decking for sitting in the sunshine and a firepit for evenings outside.

Passion flowers trail around the boundaries, with dahlias, mint and established planting bringing colour and scent through the garden.

Magnolia trees feature at both the front and rear, adding to its mature, leafy character. It isn't simply a garden to look at - it's a garden to live in.

The location Despite the peaceful setting, the location is exceptionally convenient.

The station is approximately 10 minutes' walk away, with high-speed services taking you to London St Pancras in around an hour.

Supermarkets and everyday amenities are also within easy walking distance. For walking and the outdoors, Conaught Park, first opened in 1883 and set on a 30 acre hillside, is on your door step.

It features Victorian style landscaping, an ornamental lake, tennis courts, a play area and panoramic views across the town and the English Channel.

Kearsney Abbey and the surrounding countryside are within easy reach on foot, with beautiful routes leading up into the hills.

Dover Castle is also walkable, putting one of the area's most remarkable landmarks surprisingly close to home.

For travel further afield, Dover Port is around five minutes by car, while the Channel Tunnel is approximately 15 minutes away.

In summary This is a home with the proportions and character of a genuine Victorian house, but with the layout, kitchen and practical spaces to suit modern life.

More than anything, it is a house with personality. A unique road. A magnificent church opposite. A beautiful sun-filled garden. Proper period features. A generous living space.

Countryside, castle, high-speed rail and the Channel all within easy reach. Houses like this don't come up here very often. Disclaimer: The garden lawn has had ai apply green to it for this advert.
