Full Description: A fabulous Grade II listed cottage, once known at the Old Post Office and situated in the sought-after village of Harbledown on the outskirts of Canterbury. Exuding charm and elegance, this beautiful home has an abundance of period features and a beautiful well-established garden with parking. The property is approached via a wrought iron gate between pillars and, upon entry, one is instantly met with a feeling of warmth and welcoming. The lovely principal reception room has an exposed-brick fireplace with log burner, and a large sash window which allows in an abundance of natural light. Stunning timber floorboards flow through to the dining room, also with a small fireplace and original storage set into the alcoves. The beautifully presented country-style kitchen has an array of both floor and wall units, a tiled floor and a stunning solid fuel Esse stove. A lobby area gives access towards the garden but also leads to a spacious second bathroom. On the first floor, a large double bedroom overlooks the garden and benefits from a good size built-in cupboard. The main bedroom has a dual aspect with wonderful views and there is a third room, currently used as a dressing area that leads into a separate shower room. Outside, the glorious garden is, in our opinion, a quintessential cottage garden with a wide variety of mature shrubs, climbing plants, flowers and trees. A winding pathway leads one through the garden towards the sheds and greenhouse whilst striking stone steps approach another apart of the garden which gives home to an idyllic pond with a bridge across. There is a real sense of seclusion and privacy with much to be admired, particularly the choice of plants that give year-round interest. A track from the main road permits right of access to a parking space at the side of the property. The current owners also hold architect's drawings for an extension that are readily available to view but would require a planning application and consent. The property has some secondary glazing and gas fired central heating.Harbledown is an ancient parish with two churches and mainly comprises large, period properties. This affluent village sits on the divide between rural and urban and derives much of its popularity from its equal proximity to the city and Kentish countryside. Canterbury falls within a reasonable walking distance or a short drive, with an abundance of amenities and restaurants as well as the popular Marlowe Theatre. There are plenty of sports facilities and schools within the locality. Canterbury West railway station is just a short drive away, with the High-Speed link to St Pancras taking just under an hour. Canterbury East is nearby and serves the coast, and London. There are also excellent road links to the A2/M2 towards London.Council Tax Band D.
