The Street

Believed to date to the early 18th century, with later enhancements, The Old Vicarage offers an elegant living environment with charming period features. The house is nestled in enchanting grounds adding a great sense of calm and tranquillity, with a superb outbuilding including a double garage, music room, kitchen and shower room, and stables.

Martin Mill station is under a mile away, offering services to London St Pancras from 77 minutes. There are two local primary schools, both rated “Good” by Ofsted, and a number of grammar schools in the area, including Sir Roger Manwood (Sandwich), Dover Grammar and The Harvey Grammar (Folkestone), with further grammar and private schooling in Canterbury such as The Kings School (co-ed day and boarding school), all easily accessible by train. A school bus services runs to Northbourne Park pre-prep/prep school in Betteshanger. A cosy pub, The Lantern Inn, is a brief ramble across fields, and the beautiful St Margaret’s Beach is only 3 miles away.

Reception rooms comprise a relaxed drawing room with an open fireplace, and an adjacent sitting room with a wood-burning stove. The study provides a flexible-use space, with a stairway leading down to a fascinating cellar with the original baking oven of the former parish bakery.

A charming dining room with wood-burner adjoins the kitchen. With exposed timbers and ledge and brace doors, together with a traditional shelved pantry and utility room, the kitchen is fitted with modern base level cabinetry topped by wooden work-surfaces. The bright conservatory has double doors connecting the inside to the outside and, along with a useful shower room, completes the ground floor facilities.

Two staircases rise to the first floor, where the principal bedroom provides a calming retreat with a decorative fireplace and adjoining dressing room. There are four further bedrooms on the upper level, two featuring ornate fireplaces, along with two family bathrooms.
