INTERIOR ELEGANCE & PRACTICALITY

Upon entering, you're welcomed into a generous hallway with bespoke coat storage, a utility area, and cloakroom. A feature oak staircase leads to the first floor, where the home opens out into dramatic, light-filled living spaces. The open-plan kitchen/dining area features a large island, high-end integrated appliances, and bi-fold doors opening onto a private glass-fronted balcony—ideal for soaking in the views or al fresco entertaining.

The adjoining sitting room enjoys the same vaulted ceiling and panoramic views, along with a wood-burning stove and another set of bi-fold doors leading to a second terrace. A home office or guest bedroom completes the first-floor living space, enhanced by a dumb waiter—perfect for future lift conversion.

GROUND FLOOR RETREAT

Three double bedrooms await on the ground floor, each with its own luxurious en-suite bathroom. Two enjoy built-in wardrobes and direct access to a shaded, decked terrace, which sits beneath the upper balcony, creating a peaceful, private space for morning coffee or evening relaxation.

ANNEXE, OUTBUILDING & GROUNDS

To the rear, a self-contained one-bedroom Studio annexe offers independence for guests, relatives, or potential rental income. A further large outbuilding provides flexible potential for use as a home office, gym, studio, or garage.

The wraparound gardens are laid to lawn and lined with fruit trees, offering fantastic natural beauty and privacy. A large first-floor terrace, finished in artificial grass and wooden decking, makes the most of the home's elevated position.

LOCATION & LIFESTYLE

Walkers Rest is situated just outside the historic and picturesque village of Chilham, with its charming market square, Chilham Castle, pubs, farm shop, tennis club, and a train station offering high-speed services to London. Beautiful countryside and vineyard walks are right on the doorstep, including the Taittinger Visitors Centre, which places Chilham at the heart of England's sparkling wine production.

Nearby Canterbury (5 miles) and Ashford (9 miles) provide excellent schools, shopping, and dining—including The Pig at Bridge and Michelin-starred The Bridge Arms. Excellent road and rail links (A2/M2 & Ashford International) make the location ideal for commuting or weekends away.

A contemporary rural sanctuary with panoramic views, modern convenience, and luxurious space—Walkers Rest is truly one of a kind.
