Property description
Staple is a stunning little village with a Norman church and village hall. There are fantastic walks for miles around. A number of country pubs can be found including the Black Pig in Barnsole and the Fitzwalter Arms in Goodnestone, which provide well-earned refreshments for walkers. You can have all the pleasure & joy of living in the countryside here, yet still catch the bus a short distance from the house to Canterbury, Deal & Sandwich, which are all on the hi-speed train line to London - 50 minutes from Canterbury to St Pancras. The house has lots of space on offer. There are three generous reception areas, which include a formal lounge, a sitting/snug area with inglenook and wood burner & a very welcoming and homely dining room. There are four bedrooms, all with stunning views and the main bedroom is a real treat, with beautiful views and its own en-suite. The gardens and grounds are the really spectacular "wow" factor. If you have a family, just think how much your children would enjoy being able to play in a garden like this. There is a stable block, alarmed with power, and whilst the grounds are not large enough to provide continuous grazing, you would certainly be able to find further grazing locally. There are lots of outbuildings, including a fully insulated building, with power & running water, which is currently used as a separate dining hall, but could be converted to a office, studio or playroom. There's is a vegetable garden, orchard area, separate garden and large wheeled chicken house.
What the Owner says:
We loved so many things about this house when we viewed it, but mainly it was the location, space and the lovely grounds and the huge potential that sold it to us, and we have added many features to is since we have been here. The grounds are a true delight, with well-stocked flower borders and a wide variety of trees. We love to sit outside with a whiskey and watch the bats darting around when the sun begins to set. During the day there is so much wildlife to observe, green woodpeckers and all sort of bird life. We installed a small pond so we could watch them drinking and fluffing out their feathers in the water. We have done wonderful entertaining here, including erecting a marquee for several parties, which held 450 people. There is so much potential here.
