5 bed Semi-detached House
£650,000
New Town Street, Chartham Hatch
A substantial and beautifully versatile five-bedroom semi-detached period residence, originally dating back to 1900, this charming family home offers almost a quarter of an acre of grounds and over 1,800 sq ft of well-balanced accommodation, thoughtfully arranged to suit modern family living. Occupying a delightful position within the sought-after village of Chartham Hatch, set amidst the stunning Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the property combines generous proportions, character features, and exceptional adaptability.
Rich in warmth and character, the accommodation unfolds from a welcoming entrance hallway, setting the tone for the inviting interiors beyond. At the heart of the home is an impressive sitting room, a wonderfully spacious reception area centred around a wood-burning stove, creating a cosy focal point, while a striking spiral staircase adds architectural interest and charm.
The ground floor offers excellent versatility with two further reception spaces, allowing flexibility for formal dining, family living, or home working. One of these rooms is currently arranged as a study and occasional bedroom, ideal for those seeking a dedicated home office, playroom, or fifth bedroom.
To the rear, the kitchen/breakfast room is perfectly designed for family life and entertaining, fitted with a range cooker and ample space for a freestanding breakfast island. Adjacent, the dining room is beautifully enhanced by large bi-fold doors that open directly onto the patio, seamlessly connecting the indoor and outdoor living spaces and flooding the room with natural light. A useful boot room, pantry/store, and cloakroom further complement the practicality of the ground floor layout.
Upstairs, a generous landing leads to four well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom enjoys a lovely outlook across the garden and neighbouring orchard and benefits from its own ensuite shower room, creating a peaceful retreat. The remaining bedrooms are all well-sized and are served by a spacious family bathroom, while one bedroom is currently utilised as an additional office, perfectly suited to modern lifestyles.
OUTSIDE:
Externally, the property continues to impress. To the front, there is ample off-road parking for several vehicles alongside a garage. Of particular note, the garage previously benefitted from planning permission for conversion into an annexe with workshop space. Whilst the permission has now lapsed, full architectural plans are available and included within the sale, offering exciting potential for future development, subject to the necessary consents.
The rear garden is a wonderful feature of the home, providing a generous and private outdoor space ideal for families and entertaining alike. Predominantly laid to lawn with a patio seating area directly adjoining the house, the garden offers plenty of room for children to play, outdoor dining, and enjoying the peaceful village setting, with attractive views towards the surrounding orchard and countryside beyond.
SITUATION:
Chartham Hatch forms part of the highly desirable parish of Chartham, a picturesque village renowned for its rural charm, strong sense of community, and beautiful countryside surroundings within the Kent Downs AONB. The village offers an excellent range of local amenities including a well-regarded primary school, which received a Good Ofsted report in 2024, together with local shops, traditional pubs, doctors' surgeries, and a mainline railway station providing convenient links to Canterbury and London.
The area is particularly well suited to families and those seeking a semi-rural lifestyle, with an abundance of scenic walking routes, open countryside, and local attractions including vineyards and the historic St Mary's Church, all while remaining within easy reach of Canterbury's extensive shopping, leisure, and schooling facilities.
