Description

A unique and fascinating Grade II Listed village house in one of the county's most beautiful villages, set in just over an acre of wooded gardens and grounds.

Bifrons House is believed to have formerly been the Dower House to the principal house in Bifrons Park, which was demolished after the Second World War. According to the listing, the property was built in the mid to late 19th Century in a very similar style to many of the other estate cottages. These are richly decorated with carved barge boards, ornate chimneys and jettied first floors. The rear of the house has a beautiful stone porch with exposed timber framing. Bifrons House is certainly one of the most unique houses in Patrixbourne - one of the most sought-after villages in East Kent.

During the current vendors' ownership, the house has been sympathetically extended and updated and has a partially implemented planning consent to convert a detached outbuilding into a two-bedroom annexe. The attention to detail is superb with bespoke joinery by Thoroughly Wood.

Bifrons is approached through electric gates over a long driveway running through wooded grounds to an oak-framed open car barn. Expansive lawns sweep away from the house with an outdoor swimming pool heated by an air source heat pump in a secret garden a little way from the house.

Patrixbourne is in an unrivalled location, just over a mile from the Bridge junction of the A2 London to Dover Road. Bridge itself (also about 1 mile) has an excellent selection of local facilities including a doctor's surgery, public houses, a village shop, a dentist's surgery and a tea room. Regular trains run from Bekesbourne Station (just over ? mile distant) on the Dover to London Victoria line. The HS1 service (London in just under an hour) runs from Canterbury West Station. The Eurotunnel is at Folkestone (15 miles). Canterbury is within 4 miles and offers an excellent selection of shopping and leisure facilities. Schooling in the area is excellent, with a wide choice of schools in both the state and private sectors for all ages and abilities.
