Cross Keys Cottage, Chartham

A charming grade II listed three bedroom character attached cottage, forming part of the former Cross Keys Public house, situated in the sought after semi rural village of Chartham. Cross Keys Cottage was converted in 2000 to provide well planned accommodation including an entrance hall, sitting/dining room with feature fireplace and fitted woodburning stove, modern fitted kitchen with a range of built-in appliances, downstairs cloakroom, ground floor double bedroom with large en-suite shower room, two further bedrooms and family bathroom. The present owners have lovingly maintained and sympathetically decorated this lovely home throughout. Outside, the property benefits from beautifully maintained front and rear gardens which are a real credit to the present owners, along with an off road parking space for one vehicle in addition to a single barn style garage to the rear. The area is rich in natural beauty with an abundance of public footpaths and horse riding routes, providing an amazing playground for the outdoor enthusiast. Chartham is a thriving semi rural village situated some three miles south west of the centre of the historic city of Canterbury with its excellent range of shopping and leisure facilities. The village enjoys a variety of open spaces and amenities such as the village green, two playing fields, riverside walk, village hall, primary school, church, two doctor's surgeries, three public houses, post office and village stores. Transport links are well provided with access to the A2/M2 road network just three miles to the north and M20 motorway some ten miles to the south. The village also benefits from its own main line railway station with services to London, Canterbury and the Kent coast. Well maintained, character properties such as this rarely appear on the open market and we strongly urge interested applicants to make immediate arrangements to view to avoid disappointment.
