This beautifully presented cottage in a picturesque village location is less than nine miles from Canterbury.

The three-bedroom Grade II listed attached cottage occupies part of an early 16th-century farmhouse. It has been finished with great attention to detail while keeping all of its special character and charm.

The front door opens to a large hall, off which are two lovely reception rooms set either side of the chimney breast.

Both rooms are light and bright with the dining room being double aspect.

The kitchen has been fitted to an excellent standard with plenty of storage, walnut work surfaces and underfloor heating. There is also a neatly fitted utility and cloakroom.

Upstairs the three bedrooms are served by a luxuriously appointed bathroom, again with underfloor heating.

The south facing gardens behind the house provide the perfect setting for the cottage with wonderful views towards the church.

Immediately behind the house is a brick paved terrace and lawns, which are arranged over two levels.

On the first level is a further sheltered terrace adjacent to a brick built outhouse, which provides garden storage. Steps lead to a sunken lawn with an attractive flint retaining wall. There are two parking spaces.

Historic Barham is in the Elham Valley, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village has a shop and there’s also a well-regarded primary school.

Corner Cottage has all mains services, with gas-fired central heating.
