The house is on the edge of the village of Preston and adjoins paddocks and farmland, giving wonderful and far-reaching rural views. Nine miles away is Canterbury, with high-speed rail links to London.

The owner has spent time and money creating a desirable, well-maintained period house. All of the rooms are well proportioned, with light sash cord windows and a generous ceiling height.

The double-aspect dining room has an attractive Victorian fireplace and the modern kitchen has large square floor tiles with under-floor heating, cream units and granite surfaces. The kitchen is double aspect, with a stable door.

The main reception room is a marvellous triple-aspect room with fireplace and wood burner. It has doors to a double-glazed conservatory, which also leads into a utility room and study. The utility and study have potential for conversion into a self-contained guest suite, subject to planning consents.

On the first floor, there are four double bedrooms, all with fitted wardrobes. The master bedroom has an en-suite and there is a family bathroom.

The house has a south-westerly aspect and takes full advantage of the views across the paddock and farmland, especially from the first floor.

The large back garden features a terrace and a big area of lawn. There is parking and turning at the front of the house.
