Detached Period Home

This charming and characterful period property known as Durlock Lodge is a detached Grade II Listed dwelling situated within the village of Minster Ramsgate with origins dating back to the 1700's boasting versatile accommodation over three floors on an extensive plot of circa 0.7 of an acre.

Internally the property offers spacious rooms including seven bedrooms, six bathrooms plus a self contained one bedroom studio which could offer many opportunities as guest accommodation or work from home office/therapy room or wing for the teenager/family member. The useful cellar comprises areas currently used for additional storage and a workshop.
Externally there are plenty of places to enjoy a sunny aspect courtesy of lawned gardens and sun terrace on the westerly side of the property which features a gazebo and brick built barbeque. There's a variety of mature trees, plants and shrubs in borders and beds, fruit cages and raised planters for the budding gardener, and a pleasant walk to the bottom of the garden offers a place to relax and take in the tranquil setting with a view over farmland.
A large shingled forecourt offers vehicular parking and is accessed via tall timber gates where you'll have space for cars/motorhome or caravan.

Our current owners previously operated a successful Bed & Breakfast business from Durlock Lodge as the room configuration and setting made it a popular choice for many people over many years, and this could be something that the new owners may want to re-kindle.
In more recent years our vendors have just enjoyed this delightful property as their family home and have loved the village life and surrounding countryside.
For those seeking a taste of 'growing their own', the generous garden and meadow could be ideal for some livestock, vegetable allotment, and perhaps a few chickens or pigs! If you fancy being the next Tom & Barbara, this is an opportunity to sample a go at the 'Good Life'

Around a ten minute walk to a wealth of local amenities making it a practical choice for those wanting the semi-rural setting, yet be convenient for shops, eateries, pubs and countryside walks.
