The Granary is a stunning period property set in the Kent countryside, 5 miles from the famous city of Canterbury and under an hour to Central London by train. Being a barn and granary conversion, it is a unique, stylish home retaining many of its original features.
Through the front door into the entrance hall, you can see through to the main reception area and out through the double doors to the rear garden. The reception area has a high vaulted ceiling with two velux bringing a huge amount of light into this family room. It also has a grand fireplace and chimney with a large woodburner. Large double doors lead to a good sized family kitchen and dining area with fitted units and white goods.
The master bedroom is siutated in the old granary part of the building, upstairs. It has fitted wardrobes, and a charming balcony looking down onto the rear garden. This parental suite comes with its own bathroom with shower and toilet.
The first of the two further bedrooms is found off of the entrance hall and has a built in wall of shelves, as well as a convenient mezzanine, freeing the entire floor space. The smaller third bedroom is found off the hall, and would suit a child's bedroom or a study. It has lots of charm with its original period window and rough saw wood storage area.
Opposite this bedroom is the second bathroom with bath and toilet.
Outside
There are two parking spaces at the front of the property.
This property has 0.25 acres of land.
Front: The garden is laid mainly to lawn with shrub borders and planted with a variety of mature trees, including fruit trees.
Back: French doors from the sitting room open up to a raised decking, ideal for alfresco dining and outdoor entertaining. Adjacent is a gravelled area, and beyond this are a further expanse of lawn and a summerhouse.
The charming property is found at the end of the old Port Farm track and is part of a small cluster of converted original farm buildings, which brings much peace and privacy. It is surrounded by fields, and a short walk takes you to the Stour river and the Stodmarsh Nature Reserve where you can enjoy the protected wildlife. Only five minutes drive to Canterbury centre, and less than fifteen minutes from Margate and its sandy beach, the location is perfect for that important work life balance.
The village of Upstreet has a convenient store and Post Office. It is close to several small and friendly primary schools (Chislet, Hoath, Preston, Sturry...) as well as larger ones in Canterbury (St Thomas, St Stephen...). The nearest secondary school is located only 2 miles away, a very short distance from the house.
