About
Dover Road, Barham Property Description: Guide Price £500,000 - £550,000.
Set behind a generous frontage, Pages Down House is a detached family home with a particularly private feel, combining well-proportioned accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool and a location that places Canterbury, Folkestone and Dover within easy reach.
The house extends to approximately 1,378 square feet and has a practical layout with three bedrooms and several distinct living spaces.
The substantial frontage creates plenty of separation from the road, with a broad parking area and Jacksons acoustic fencing adding another layer of privacy.
The kitchen/breakfast room is one of the standout spaces in the house, measuring approximately 18 feet by 16 feet.
Finished with contemporary grey cabinetry, extensive work surfaces and a central island, there is plenty of preparation and storage space alongside room for informal dining.
Large windows bring in good natural light, while a door gives direct access to the garden. For more formal meals, there is a separate dining room with a wide bay window.
The living room sits independently on the opposite side of the hall, with a fireplace providing a natural focal point and another bay bringing plenty of light into the room.
From the living room, doors lead through to the conservatory, creating an additional place to sit and providing direct access to the garden.
A ground floor cloakroom completes the accommodation on this level. Upstairs are three bedrooms arranged around a central landing.
Two are particularly well-proportioned doubles, both with bay windows, while the third is a good size double and provides useful accommodation for a child, guest or home office if preferred.
The main bedroom has an en-suite shower room and there is a separate family bathroom.
Outside: The rear garden has a paved terrace immediately behind the property for outdoor dining, with the swimming pool positioned beyond.
It creates a very different dimension during the warmer months and is a feature rarely found at this price point. There is also a timber garden building and further garden space alongside.
The substantial frontage is another important part of the property.
In addition to providing plenty of off-road parking, its depth helps give the house a greater sense of separation and privacy than its accessible location might initially suggest.
For buyers thinking longer term, the vendors have previously had plans prepared for a possible extension.
This could create an opportunity to increase the living accommodation and tailor the house further, subject to the necessary planning permissions.
Location: The village of Barham is located 7 miles south-east of the city of Canterbury and its origins can be traced back to 799.
The village is located in the Elham valley part of the wider Kent Downs which is in an area of outstanding natural beauty.
The property is under 0.1 miles from Barham Primary School and 5.9 miles from the Simon Langton Grammar Schools.
The village has a large local shop 'Barham Village Store' and the village hall runs plenty of events for the community including dance classes, yoga, playgroups and choir sessions.
There is a regular bus service into Canterbury and good road links via the A2.
The nearest train station is located in the village of Snowdown just 4 miles drive away which has links into Canterbury and London Victoria.
The area also provides numerous opportunities for local walks and enjoying the surrounding Kent countryside, appealing to those who appreciate nature and outdoor activities.
