Ivy Cottage is a charming semi-detached Victorian cottage, located in a beautiful setting and surrounded by Kent countryside.

The cottage is now in need of complete modernisation, and represents a superb opportunity to acquire a character property for improvement and extension (subject to any necessary planning consents).

The cottage has handsome red brick and tiled elevations. Inside there is a well-proportioned sitting room with an open fireplace, a kitchen and a store room on the ground floor. The kitchen has an old range cooker Aga and space for all the necessary storage units and appliances. The family bathroom is on the ground floor.

The first floor has three bedrooms, two of which are good sized doubles with built-in storage.

This property has 1.4 acres of land.

Outside

The cottage is situated at the end of a single-track lane that also serves the neighbouring property. The garden is in need of care.

Included with the property is a large area of woodland of about 1 acre. Including the track the property extends to about 1.4 acres.

Situation

The sought-after village of Selling has a thriving community. Local amenities include a primary school, two public houses, a cafe and a station on the Canterbury to London line (via Faversham). Ashford International provides the High Speed service to London St Pancras from 36 minutes. The A2/M2 can both be accessed nearby and provide links to the motorway network. The area has good access to the Continent.

The property is situated close to the market town of Faversham, with its picturesque lanes, boutique shops and wide choice of restaurants and cafes. Canterbury, with its diverse range of shopping, leisure and cultural facilities, is easily accessed. The north Kent coast, including popular Whitstable, is also within easy reach.

Faversham offers a good selection of schooling, including Ethelbert Road primary school (Ofsted Outstanding), The Abbey School and the well-regarded Queen Elizabeth’s Grammar School (Ofsted Outstanding). Canterbury is home to the University of Kent and Christchurch University as well as to a wide range of long-established independent and state schools.
