Monkton Street, Monkton, Ramsgate

Full Details

Cottages in Monkton seldom come available and when they do they don't hang around for long. Take this historic two bedroom example retaining much of its old world character and charm whilst balancing a blend of modern convenience in a quintessential farmhouse style.

Monkton lends itself to that peaceful village life that so many of us aspire to with a variety of things going on in the village hall from the local clubs including gardening, table tennis and dance it is a bustling friendly hub whilst nearby Minster boasts the more familiar convenience store, train station, doctors and even a dentists.

The major Thanet towns are on the doorstep, the historic cathedral city of Canterbury only a thirty minute drive away (a local bus stop near the cottage takes you to the heart of the old city) and with the open Kent landscape to explore, the region having some great beaches and hidden coves and a village without a pub (or two) simply isn't a village this property and location has much to offer.

The cottage itself is accessed via a small off road parking space suitable for one car located at the front of the property where you walk through a recess in the shrubs to find a large front garden with winding brick pathway to the front door. Once inside the property is neutral in décor and well maintained throughout; to the left is the lounge with a character wall of exposed brick with fireplace and to the right is the surprisingly large kitchen/dining area perfect for a traditional dining table and chairs with modern work surfaces, plenty of cupboard space and integrated appliances all adding to the ambient feel. Under stairs storage (handy in these older style cottages) and a downstairs fitted bathroom with double shower head (one of which is a rainfall style shower), glass screen, bath and to compliment the sink and toilet is the rare addition of a bidet. The stable style back door leads into a private enclosed quiet courtyard benefiting from its position and laid with brick paving with raised planter, this is the lovely low maintenance sanctuary from the day to day, so lacking with more modern properties which rarely boast a space truly all of your own finishes the ground floor whilst taking the original stairs adjacent to the front door (please note the stairs are steeper than you'd experience with modern properties) upstairs are two equally sized bedrooms, again neutrally decorated throughout one of which benefits from a handy WC built in to the eves (mind your head!) and a lovely cottage style wooden night stand with basin.

All in all this quirky, quaint and delightful cottage could be yours and would make a lovely home for anyone that has a passion for character charm and is seeking a peaceful retreat from the norm.
