Full Description: This imposing property offers enormous flexibility. The house has been transformed in recent times both inside and out, introducing beautiful brick elevations, solid oak windows and ground source heat systems. The extensive accommodation is arranged in two parts to either side of a central entrance hall – allowing the property to be used either as a single residence, or as two homes. This arrangement could provide superior multi-generational living or rental opportunities. The two halves provide well appointed, refurbished accommodation. 64a to the right, is arranged around a reception hall off which is a cloakroom. A large kitchen/breakfast room, with sleek units and an island, sits to the front of the house and is served by a useful utility room. The double aspect sitting room has a Louis XV marble fireplace and French doors open to the garden. On the first floor three bedrooms have en-suites, the largest of which has a bath and twin basins; on the second floor is a generous bedroom with en suite bathroom. There is an additional family bathroom. 64b to the left also leads off a generous reception hall with a cloakroom. There is a bright sitting room with a stone fireplace and a bay window to the front and another contemporary kitchen at the back of the house where tall windows and French doors look to the garden. Set in between these excellent family spaces, double doors open to a further reception room/study. Again, the four bedrooms follow a similar arrangement, with an oak staircase rising to the first floor where three bedrooms have en suite shower rooms. Occupying the second floor, a further bedroom and en suite bathroom offer seclusion.UTILITIES/PLANNINGEach half of the property enjoys an excellent EPC B rating. Eash side of the property also has a ground source heat pump that provides cost efficient heating and hot water. There is an additional benefit of payments under the RHI Grant scheme, with £1497.62 due to the pair every quarter until March 2029. The supplies of gas, electricity and heating can be divided, allowing the two houses to be independent from one another, if desired. At present they share one internet supply, connected to two Wifi systems.The planning permission that exists would allow the two properties to be formally divided to create two stand-alone dwellings in separate ownership if desired (Canterbury City Council Planning ref: CA/21/03099)The house is set on a corner plot, with a gated entrance at the front providing access to the gravel driveway. There is plenty of parking as well as a detached block divided into a double car port and two plant rooms.At the rear, the west-facing garden welcomes plenty of sunlight throughout the day and features a patio area across the back of both houses, divided by a high brick wall for privacy. Beyond there is a level lawn with well-stocked border beds and various hedgerows, shrubs and trees. At present the lawn is shared by the two homes but could be easily divided into two private gardens with the addition of a fence.Chestfield provides a convenient location just a mile from the Kent coast and on the edge of the highly sought-after town of Whitstable. The village has a golf course and Chestfield Barn, a 14th century barn housing a pub and restaurant. Other local amenities include Sainsbury’s, a post office, independent shops, pubs and a medical centre, all within easy reach. Whitstable town centre offers further shops and amenities, including a fine selection of pubs, restaurants and cafes. There are several well-regarded schools in the area with further excellent educational facilities being found in Canterbury and Faversham.BrochuresWeb DetailsParticulars
