4 bed detached house for sale

Ickham Court Farm, The Street, Ickham, Canterbury CT3

Keybridge House is an opulent Victorian residence which dates back to the late 1800's with a symmetrical red brick and sash bay window facade and sympathetic extensions over recent years.
The property has undergone extensive renovation using the very finest materials with an artistic flair to the interior design, resulting in a stylish home with a simply flawless finish. There are an abundance of features that include period fireplaces, high ceilings, panelled walls and ceiling roses.
Both principal reception rooms sit to the front of the house, each with fireplaces and attractive bay windows. The lounge has a log burning stove, bringing a lovely sense of cosiness to an already very calming room.
A spectacular kitchen/breakfast room sprawls across the rear of the house and is the beating heart of this home. The kitchen was designed and fitted by renowned 'Collins Bespoke', a Kent based luxury kitchen. Bespoke solid wood cabinetry is complimented by stunning granite work tops and a large breakfast island sits central. There are many designer appliances but a real standout feature is the bespoke stand alone larder which opens out into a breakfast station with oak shelving. French doors open from the kitchen to the pretty rear garden and offers a great space to enjoy the view whilst having your morning coffee.
A separate utility room and sleek boot room with WC, again by 'Collins Bespoke', are adjacent to the kitchen and provide further versatility.
An attractive balustrade staircase rises to the first floor landing where a cute window seat provides a pleasant outlook at the front. There are four double bedrooms up here (Master en-suite) and a luxury family bathroom. The impressive Master Suite is large in size and has a beautiful en-suite with free standing claw foot bath and Victorian style taps. The family bathroom features panelled walls and has a high-level WC, freestanding Heritage bath with Burlington taps and shower.
Keybridge House occupies a sumptuous plot of 0.16 acres with beautifully landscaped gardens encompassing. The main garden enjoys a southerly aspect, basking in sunshine throughout the day and offers a good degree of privacy. Extensive off-road parking is provided by a large gravelled driveway which extends east of the plot with a separate piece of land. This is currently laid to lawn with a large shed but offers potential to create a great vegetable garden, private home office/studio space or perhaps an opportunity to create a holiday let with its own garden.
Keybridge House is an elegant home that exudes quality; a house where it is clearly evident both love and money has been poured into it, creating a special home in an equally special village location.
