The Street, Staple

Whitegate is a handsome family home set in a highly accessible semi-rural village, with good access to Canterbury and the coast. Large sash windows along the front facade take in fascinating views of the medieval church opposite, imbuing a great sense of peace and calm to the rooms. The rooms at the rear look over the quintessential Kentish garden and fields beyond.

The front door opens into a generous and welcoming reception hall with a classic original staircase. The drawing room and dining room both have a relaxed feel with high ceilings and ornate fireplaces (the former being fitted with a wood-burning stove). The bright sitting room has two large south facing sash windows, a sizeable space with inglenook fireplace and exposed mellow brick and beams adding warmth and comfort.

The country style kitchen is fitted with a range of attractive cabinetry with space for a range cooker; there is a useful larder and ample room for a good size table and chairs. Doors from the kitchen lead to the cloakroom and out to the rear terrace.

A large, dry cellar with good ceiling height is accessed from the hall.

The first floor features a large principal bedroom with en-suite shower room together with four further bedrooms (one with an en suite bathroom) and a family bathroom. The generous landing provides a seating area by the central sash window – an ideal spot to sit and watch village life go by.

This property has 0.35 acres of land.
