3 4 4

Located in the charming village of Ickham this unique L-shaped 17th century barn conversion, within the curtilage of a Grade II listed farmhouse, has been beautifully remodelled and includes an area that would make an excellent annexe. There is a shared driveway with access to two parking spaces and a gate to the courtyard garden with a path to the main entrance. The front door opens into the truly breath taking open plan, double height vaulted and beamed ceiling reception hall/library with a wall of bookshelves and an impressive oak spiral staircase leading to the galleried landing that overlooks the hall. There are steps down to the gorgeous living area with floor to ceiling windows providing plenty of natural light, exposed beams, engineered oak flooring and a lovely inglenook fireplace with a large log burner to cosy up to on a cold winter’s evening. Beyond the living area are doors to a guest double bedroom with an en suite shower.

Double doors from the reception hall open into the very impressive family space that incorporates the kitchen/breakfast room, the dining area and sitting room with its contemporary log burner. This awe-inspiring single storey area has a high vaulted ceiling with cross beams and a veritable wall of floor to ceiling windows overlooking the garden. The kitchen includes a colourful Falcon range cooker with an induction hob, cherry wood units and Corion worktops housing a variety of appliances including an American style fridge freezer and a dishwasher.

At the other end of the reception hall there are multi-pane glass doors to the attractive office that also has an en suite bathroom with a bath, separate shower and a marble topped vanity basin, so this could always become an additional double bedroom.

There are flagstone steps down to the utility room, a double shower room with marble topped twin vanity basins and a study with a door to a lobby with a very large store cupboard and an external door to the drive. This could make an excellent office area for anyone working from home as business visitors do not need to venture into the private part of the house. Alternatively this area could be a separate annexe for family members or as a holiday rental, particularly as it also includes a separate staircase leading to two double bedrooms on the first floor. However the delightful main bedroom is accessed via the spiral staircase and galleried landing and has a vaulted ceiling and exposed beams as well as fitted wardrobes and drawers, an en suite shower room and eaves storage.

The secluded and easily maintained garden is a real suntrap with a large terrace, a lawn with shrub borders and a pergola covered seating area for al fresco entertaining as well as a useful garden shed.

 

We bought the property some years ago and have loved our time here as we really adore Ickham, but we are starting a new chapter in our lives now the children have grown up. The house provides very flexible accommodation and is a great place to entertain friends and family, whether you intend to live here full time or use it for weekends and holidays. Although we are in the centre of the village the location is very private and quiet, with the entrance tucked around the side. Ickham is an extremely friendly village with a great community atmosphere and as it is not on any through routes traffic is not a problem.  There is a village hall with plenty of activities for all ages, a beautiful church and the renowned Duke William pub is just the place to stroll round to for Sunday lunch or a drink with friends and, if you want a bit of pampering, there is a luxury spa along the street. The adjacent village of Wickhambreaux is also delightful with a children’s playing field and a primary school rated Outstanding by Ofsted, a village hall and the Rose pub offering freshly prepared local produce. It is only a couple of miles to Wingham with its pubs, shops, post office and nearby is the wonderful Gibsons farm shop offering top class food. If you want to entertain the youngsters there is Howletts Wild Animal Park and horsey enthusiasts can ride at the Barton Field Farm Equestrian centre.

Although we live in such an attractive country village, we are not far from the historic city of Canterbury with its UNESCO heritage buildings, high street stores, individual shops, theatres, three universities and restaurants as well as two train stations including Canterbury West where the high speed train can whisk you to St Pancras in under an hour, which is ideal for commuters. Although you can take a train from Bekesbourne where it is easy to park. There are very good grammar schools in Canterbury and Sandwich and a wide choice of top class private schools in Dover and Canterbury. A regular bus service can take you to the city as well as to the Canterbury golf club and the Polo Sports club or to the Thanet towns for a day on the beach.
