Semi-detached house for sale in Church Lane, Challock, Kent TN25

Are you ready to get away from all that town centre traffic and at the same time get close to nature? This beautifully-styled cottage is positioned in the centre of a small village overlooking the Lees, with wonderful countryside and forest walks close by. Yes it’s a cottage, but it's been superbly extended – the open-plan living space will surprise you, allowing for very sociable furniture permutations and cosy reading nooks. It's so much more than ‘where do we put the telly?’ in this property. You have central heating, but you're going to want every excuse to light the log burner and sink into your favourite chair. For more information or to view please call quoting BD0443

The garden is a real delight and mature planting provides plenty of greenery and privacy. It's a decent size too, and there's a driveway and garage which is a rare find with properties that are over 200 years old (they didn't need garages or parking back then).

Living in a village like Challock you'll be an important part of a small community. The primary school is very popular and has once again been rated 'Outstanding'. You're high up on the Downs here – no wonder Kent Gliding Club have based themselves in the area. There are also plenty of walks to be enjoyed in nearby Kingswood, a 1,500-acre forest where deer roam freely.

Challock is positioned between the market towns of Ashford and Faversham, the county town of Maidstone and the city of Canterbury, with most life centred around the village green, the Lees, pub and school. The popular, well-serviced and historic villages of Wye and Charing, both with railway stations, are also very close by. There are M20 and M2 motorway junctions in Ashford and Faversham, along with high-speed train connections to London and the coast.
