Full Details for 6 Bedroom Semi-Detached for sale in Ramsgate, CT12 :
If you are looking for a spacious and unusual family home this property in the friendly village of Monkton could tick all the right boxes. This lovely barn originally stored the hops for the oast house next door but was converted about 16 years ago and has retained many of its delightful period features. Over the past few years the owners have sympathetically refurbished it so this three storey house has all the facilities needed for present day living. You can sit and enjoy a morning coffee or relax with a glass of wine at the end of a busy day on the vast vine clad balcony outside the master bedroom, overlooking the orchard garden and the fields beyond. Alternatively, you can cook a fabulous meal in the spacious and very modern kitchen/dining room for friends and family. Both this room and the adjacent living room have large French doors to the south facing garden and patio. Guests can wander outside and revel in a barbecue or al fresco dining to the accompaniment of bird song in the apple and pear orchard.With four double bedrooms on the first floor it would be easy to convert one to an office for anyone who wants to work from home and the delightfully quirky top floor suite is ideal for teenagers looking for their own space. For anyone with young children the Monkton primary school is excellent with an outstanding Ofsted report and a smaller than average number of pupils, also there are a wide variety of very good secondary schools to suit all abilities, including a number of grammar schools.
“As soon as we saw this house it immediately felt like home, even though it was a little shabby at the time. We shall be sad to leave but it is really too large for us now. It has always been a very happy house and, even if one of us was on our own here we never felt isolated because the neighbours and the rest of the villagers are so friendly. We are members of the local pub bat and trap team and even started a singing group that everyone seems to enjoy.
All our friends and relations love to come here and just ‘chill out’ as it is so very relaxing and peaceful. As well as our patio, vine covered pergola and balcony we also have a little courtyard area that gets plenty of sunshine and is our little private retreat during the day. We can even look at the olive tree we planted that has grown very well, despite the fact we are not in the Mediterranean – although the sandy beaches of Thanet are not far away!
We are also only a mile from Minster, which has everything you need for day to day living from grocery stores to hairdressers and doctors’ surgeries to restaurants, as well as the station for Canterbury and London.”
