About
Set within a plot of just under a quarter of an acre and enjoying wonderful countryside views across the Great Stour Valley, Highfield is a spacious and highly versatile four/five-bedroom detached chalet bungalow offering generous accommodation, excellent entertaining space and ample off-street parking.
Tucked away from the road, the property is approached via a recently laid extensive driveway providing parking for approximately five to six vehicles.
Internally, the flexible accommodation is arranged across two floors, making the home particularly well suited to families, multi-generational living or those looking for generous ground-floor accommodation.
An entrance porch opens into the hallway, from which there are three bedrooms on the ground floor alongside a luxurious family bathroom and an additional separate shower room.
The well-fitted kitchen is complemented by a useful separate utility room, while the impressive open-plan living and dining area provides a fantastic communal hub for the home.
A feature fireplace with multi-fuel stove creates a warm focal point, while the accommodation continues into the conservatory, providing another space from which to relax and enjoy the garden and surrounding setting.
Upstairs, there are two further bedrooms, a cloakroom and a landing area with useful built-in storage, giving the property the flexibility to provide up to five bedrooms depending on how the new owners wish to configure the accommodation.
The outside space is a particular feature of Highfields.
To the rear, the landscaped garden has been thoughtfully arranged to provide a variety of areas to relax and entertain, including a pergola seating area, wooden decking, established lawns and an attractive fish pond.
The garden enjoys an impressive outlook across the neighbouring countryside and Great Stour Valley, creating a wonderful backdrop to the property.
There is also a useful detached outbuilding offering excellent potential for a variety of purposes, whether as a workshop, home office, studio, gym or additional storage, subject to requirements.
Further benefits include triple glazing, gas-fired central heating, a multi-fuel stove and stylish oak internal doors throughout.
Highfields enjoys an enviable position close to the highly regarded village of Chilham, approximately six miles south-west of Canterbury and nine miles north-west of Ashford.
Centred around its picturesque historic square and surrounded by beautiful Kent countryside, Chilham offers a strong village community together with a range of everyday amenities including a pub, village hall, doctor’s surgery, primary school and local shops.
Chilham also benefits from its own mainline railway station, providing convenient connections towards Canterbury and Ashford.
Ashford International offers the high-speed service to London St Pancras in approximately 37 minutes, making the location an excellent combination of rural living and accessibility.
A substantial and adaptable home in a beautiful countryside setting, Highfields combines generous internal accommodation, an impressive plot and far-reaching views while remaining conveniently placed for both Canterbury and Ashford.
