Cobbs Hill, Old Wives Lees, Canterbury, Kent, CT4 8AL

I am especially drawn to the wonderful sense of seclusion within the gardens and the garage being tucked discreetly away from view.

-- Greg Wood, Director #TheGardenOfEngland Nestled within beautifully landscaped and secluded gardens and grounds extending to approximately 1.55 acres, Vine Cottage is a truly special home where period charm blends seamlessly with striking contemporary additions.

Further enhancing its appeal is a detached annexe offering excellent income-generating potential, a triple-bay cart barn, and solar array with battery storage.

Located within approximately one mile of a Chilham village and train station, providing convenient access for commuters.

The original cottage has been thoughtfully enhanced by modern extensions, resulting in an impressive fusion of character and contemporary style.

At the heart of the home is a welcoming dining room with original mullioned windows overlooking the stunning garden room beyond.

This exceptional reception space is flooded with natural light through expansive glazing and sliding doors, creating a seamless connection with the gardens.

A contemporary wood-burning stove, set against a quartz feature wall, provides an attractive focal point, while limestone flooring with underfloor heating ensures year-round comfort.

The principal bedroom, located within the extension, mirrors the generous proportions of the garden room and benefits from extensive fitted wardrobes, underfloor heating and sliding doors opening directly onto the terrace and gardens.

The recently constructed kitchen is a magnificent addition, featuring bespoke cabinetry, curved work surfaces, a central island and impressive full-height glazing framing delightful garden views.

There is ample space for informal dining, while the adjoining contemporary bathroom is luxuriously appointed with a large walk-in shower. Two further bedrooms provide flexible accommodation.

Separate from the main house, the detached annexe offers excellent ancillary accommodation and income potential.

It comprises an open-plan kitchen and reception room, bedroom and shower room, with bifold doors opening onto a gravelled terrace.

To the front is a driveway that keads to the house and up the slope towards the recently constructed triple cart barn, comprising two open bays and one enclosed storage bay.

To the rear of the house, a raised terrace overlooks attractive gardens centred around a pond, with a limestone-paved seating area providing an idyllic setting for outdoor dining.

Beyond, the grounds rise gently to an upper lawn interspersed with mature and fruit trees, including cherry, peach and plum.
