I really liked the light and airy atmosphere of the house when I first opened the front door and then walking through and seeing the river and the views over to Solly’s that almost seem as though the park was actually in the back garden, I knew this was the place for me. I also like the kitchen because everything is easily to hand as it was originally designed by a previous owner Audrey Eyton – author of the F-plan diet. While when I close the curtains to the conservatory in the evenings, I find the sitting area very warm and cosy. As I thought I would be living here for the foreseeable future, I have had the flat roofs over the conservatory and the kitchen replaced but sadly I am having to move for health reasons. The location is also wonderful as I can stroll to the city centre om just a few minutes and meet friends and family for a coffee or visit the nearby Marlowe theatre without needing to take the car or even get on a bus. At the same time if you want to get to London the fast train from Canterbury West will transport you to St Pancras in under an hour and it is not far from the A2 for Dover and Folkestone for trips to the Continent.As well as the cathedral there are a wide variety of other historic and interesting attractions to see including the Canterbury Norman Castle, St Augustine’s Abbey, Canterbury Heritage Museum, the Westgate, The Beaney House and the Canterbury Roman Museum.

Centre Stable Cottage is a unique four bedroom period home forming part of an attractive converted stable block associated with Fawkham Manor, believed to date back to circa 1860/70, and set within a mature plot in excess of 0.5 acres accessed via a gated private road. Defined by its charming flint and brick façade, the property enjoys a delightful position within a picturesque, cobbled courtyard of just three homes, surrounded by leafy, semi-rural countryside. Although technically link-detached, the connection is via garages only, giving the property a strong sense of privacy and a detached feel.Sympathetically renovated and thoughtfully reconfigured by the current owners, the accommodation blends character features with a practical layout suited to modern living. Entry via the courtyard leads into a welcoming interior where the heart of the home is an open plan kitchen breakfast room flowing seamlessly into the sitting room, creating a sociable and light-filled living space. A separate dining room provides a more formal setting for entertaining, while a further versatile room serves equally well as a study or fourth bedroom. The principal bedroom suite is located on the ground floor and benefits from a dressing room and an en-suite bathroom, offering a comfortable and private retreat. A shower room completes the ground floor arrangement, with two further bedrooms positioned upstairs.Externally, the property is approached via the charming, cobbled courtyard, providing parking and access to the attached garage, which is notably arranged with both front and rear access for added convenience. The established gardens and grounds offer a wonderful sense of space and seclusion, with areas of lawn, mature planting and scope for further landscaping. A substantial detached outbuilding whilst in poor condition presents an exciting opportunity for a variety of uses, whether as a workshop, studio or potential development subject to the necessary planning consents. A rare opportunity to acquire a distinctive home of character in a truly idyllic setting, offering both immediate enjoyment and future potential.The stable block is very likely to have formed part of the working estate infrastructure for Fawkham Manor during the Victorian period, when country houses relied on a full complement of ancillary buildings such as stables, coach houses and tack rooms. The circa 1860/70 date aligns with a time when many estates were either expanded or remodelled, often incorporating durable and locally sourced materials such as flint and brick, which is consistent with the façade seen here. The cobbled courtyard layout is also typical of formal stable yards of that era, designed for both practicality and visual order, allowing carriage access and turning space.Over time, as the reliance on horses declined in the early 20th century, many such buildings became redundant and were later converted, particularly from the late 20th century onwards, into residential dwellings. The fact that Centre Stable Cottage forms one of just three homes suggests a relatively sympathetic and low-density conversion, preserving the original courtyard setting and much of the architectural character.Fawkham remains a small and charming rural parish with deep agricultural roots, and homes connected to former manor estates are rarely available. As such, Centre Stable Cottage enjoys a genuine sense of heritage and exclusivity, forming part of a former Victorian manor estate stable block which is an appealing prospect for buyers seeking a home with both character and provenance.Location    The location in Fawkham offers a desirable semi-rural lifestyle whilst remaining well connected, with nearby Longfield providing everyday amenities including a Waitrose and mainline station with services into London, and easy access to the A2, M25 and M20. The surrounding area is well regarded for its selection of schooling, including sought-after grammar options, and an abundance of countryside walks and bridleways are on the doorstep.Directions    From our Fine & Country North Kent office proceed left along Ash Road.

The garden felt almost magical - a true chocolate-box cottage.”“During our time here, we have completely modernised the interior. Outside, however, we chose a different approach. The garden was already mature, beautifully designed, and full of life, so we preserved it just as it was intended. With each changing season, different plants emerge as if perfectly orchestrated, and we have taken so much joy in watching it evolve naturally. “The kitchen and lounge area, with its almost double-height ceilings, has always been a true ‘wow' feature of the home. However, my favourite space is the master bedroom with its en-suite. It feels wonderfully self-contained and is the perfect retreat at the end of the day.”“The garden itself is incredibly private and is surrounded by mature trees. The birdlife here is phenomenal - so much so that we even downloaded an app to track the different species that visit. Being nestled among ancient woodland gives the entire setting an enchanted feel.”.    “It's been perfect for entertaining. We've hosted unforgettable celebrations here, including a marquee party in the garden for my 50th, and we often cook outdoors during the warmer months. In winter, the house becomes especially cosy - Christmas here has always been magical.”“The sense of community is another aspect we've truly valued. Set within a private courtyard of just three homes, we have been fortunate to have such kind and welcoming neighbours. The location is also ideal being central to popular neighbouring villages and amenities so plenty to do, within easy reach of London, and just 15 minutes from Bluewater. It is perfectly positioned for access to major routes. I am also a member of Brandshatch Place Hotel & Spa, a health club nearby with a gym, spa, and a lovely social atmosphere.”.    “What I will miss most are our neighbours and, of course, the garden. As we prepare to downsize, we feel incredibly lucky to have called this special place home. Its peaceful, tucked-away position with no passing traffic, creates a calm and tranquillity that so many people remark upon. It's easy to forget just how rare that is. We will truly miss it, especially knowing how much love and care we have poured into making it what it is today.”Entrance Hall    Panelled semi-glazed door to front.

Set within peaceful and beautiful countryside, yet just a short distance from Cheddar and Wells, The Cedars is a distinguished detached Georgian home that blends historic character with the comfort and ease of modern family living. Sitting just above the village, the house enjoys wide views across the Mendips, a strong sense of privacy and a wonderfully calm, elevated outlook.The current owner has lived at The Cedars for thirty-one years, drawn initially by the light-filled rooms, generous bay windows, elegant proportions and the seclusion created by the gardens. Over the years, the house has been carefully and sympathetically enhanced, always with respect for its Georgian heritage. Improvements include reroofing, the addition of a substantial conservatory to one side of the house, and the creation of two guest bathrooms to the other. Throughout, the emphasis has been on preserving character while ensuring the house works effortlessly for modern family life and entertaining.At the heart of the home, the kitchen is designed for easy, everyday living and has long been the setting for relaxed, chatty family meals. In contrast, the formal dining room, with its strong Georgian presence, comfortably seats fourteen and has hosted countless memorable occasions. The owner fondly recalls putting the finishing touches to meals in the kitchen while hearing gales of laughter drifting through from the dining room, a reminder that this is a house at its very best when full of people.The drawing room offers a cosy winter retreat, with a welcoming fireplace and calming views across the walled garden. The study is a particular favourite: bright and sunny, opening directly onto the patio, it is a space where the outside is easily invited in. It has proved a wonderful place to work, read or simply sit and enjoy the surroundings.Set within approximately 1.19 acres, the gardens are a defining feature and a true extension of the house.

A range of outbuildings adds further flexibility, offering potential for studios, workshops, storage or home offices.Despite its tranquil, countryside feel, The Cedars is far from isolated.
