Situation
The picturesque hamlet of River is situated between the historic town of Dover and the neighbouring village of Temple Ewell which stands on the River Dour. There is a local athletic ground and large recreation area within walking distance. Also nearby is Kearsney Abbey and Russell Gardens which have beautiful walks and family friendly grounds, lakes and café. There are highly regarded primary and grammar schools nearby. The vibrant Cathedral City of Canterbury is just 20 minutes by car. Rail services are available from Kearsney and Dover including the Javelin high speed link to London St Pancras in just over an hour and there is easy access to the southern motorway network.
The Property
Built in 1931, by local builders Barwick's for their own use, St. Lawrence is a fine example of the period with its ornate brickwork, leaded windows and beautiful solid wood front door. Once inside this characterful double fronted family home you can really appreciate the craftsmanship. The central entrance hallway gives access to all floors and ground floor accommodation. To the left is a bright dual aspect kitchen/breakfast room with fitted shaker units, Stanley range and French doors opening to a rear balcony boasting spectacular elevated views of the surrounding countryside. To the rear the beautiful dining room features an enviable solid oak fireplace inset with log burning stove and solid oak flooring which runs through to the entrance hall. To the right hand side the generous sitting room extends the full depth of the property with large exposed brick feature fireplace and picture windows taking full advantage of St. Lawrence's scenic position. From the entrance hall steps lead down to a cloakroom and delightful guest bedroom and ensuite bathroom which opens onto the south facing rear garden. To the first floor are three further bedrooms, two doubles and one single plus a further bathroom and separate cloakroom.
