With roses rambling round the front door, an inglenook fireplace, and a mature walled garden overlooked by a historic church, this 18th-century home is the quintessential picture of English country living. The property sings period charm with original timbers, winding staircases and lots of quirky features. This achingly gorgeous house is set in the heart of the pretty village of Barham, with shops to explore and a welcoming local pub. Canterbury’s world-famous cathedral and winding medieval streets are only a fifteen-minute drive away, and Goodnestone Park’s stunning gardens are even closer. You’re slap bang in the middle of the North Downs area of outstanding natural beauty, so you’re spoilt for country walks, vineyards and lovely villages. If you fancy a bit of sea air, you’re under half an hour from the Folkestone, where you can explore the retro shops in the Old Town and have lunch on the Harbour Arm. Come back for sundowners in your beautiful planted garden, prepare a meal in the country-style kitchen, or wander down to the Duke of Cumberland for some tasty pub grub with the locals.
