Property for sale in Thurnham Lane, Thurnham, Maidstone ME14

Utterly unique former Coach House located in a commanding position nestled into the North Downs, within a stones throw of the historic Pilgrims Way. The conversion has been undertaken by the present owner with a light touch, retaining the charm and creating this stunning living space. The interior has a warmth and charm with its mellow tones and exposed brickwork and timbers. Externally, the Coach House is a joy, with herringbone brickwork and exposed beams, steeply pitched roof with a bell tower. In discussions with the local planning department a sympathetic extension may be considered subordinate to the original Coach House. Living at The Coach House is within 100 meters of a renowned local Gastro pub (The Black Horse). Together with the historic Pilgrims Way linking Winchester and Canterbury Cathedral, beyond which is White Horse Woods Country Park with its breathtaking views over the Vale of Homesdale and Thurnham Castle ruins which date back to the 11th Century, built for Robert de Thurnham. Set in a half acre wooded plot with a Grade II Curtilage and ample parking. Once the threshold is crossed the depth of the refurbishment is fully embraced, from the Aga and gas stove for cosy nights at home, to the luxuriously appointed bedrooms with their roll top baths.
