Full property description
A charming four bedroom detached family home, built in the 1920s and sympathetically extended over the years, it now offers over 2,000 sq.ft. of spacious and exceptionally versatile accommodation.
Railway Path Cottage occupies a generous plot of 0.21 acres of stunning grounds, wrapping around every corner of the home. It features a private driveway, ample parking, and beautifully tended gardens. The current owners have enhanced the property over the years with new windows, tasteful decor, wood flooring, a beautiful south-facing sunroom and more recently, added a heated resistance swimming pool.
The property has a rich history and served as the village dental practice from the early 1990s. This part of the house forms part of the extension and can now be used as a separate ground-floor annex, ideal for an elderly relative due to its separate entrance and ground-floor shower room/WC.
The main living area is thoughtfully configured, featuring a traditionally styled kitchen adjacent to a bay-fronted family room, which offers plenty of space for a dining table. The kitchen and dining room could be knocked through to create one large space, depending on individual preferences. The ground floor is further complemented by a charming sitting room with a wood-burning stove and a south-facing sunroom.
On the first floor, there is a well-appointed family bathroom and a further three double bedrooms. The main bedroom boasts ample wardrobe space and a beautiful arched feature framing the window.
OUTSIDE:
Railway Path Cottage occupies 0.21 acres of stunning grounds, wrapping around the property and enjoying sunny aspects throughout the day. The gated driveway leads to a garage with parking for several cars. The garden is primarily laid to lawn, with colourful borders and established shrubs. There is also a dedicated area for keeping chickens, as well as a small allotment with a greenhouse and vegetable beds.
A resistance pool, added just a few years ago, is heated via an air-source heat pump. To the far end of the garden, you'll find a peaceful sun terrace complete with a summer house.
SITUATION:
The property is located on Eythorne Road, adjacent to Shepherdswell train station, which offers direct links to London, Canterbury, and Dover. The village boasts a strong sense of community, with a local primary school, a park area, a doctors' surgery, and a village hall that hosts events such as charity sales and a pre-school playgroup.
The Grade II listed Bell pub, near the village green and close to the church, is a popular spot. Additionally, the village features a Co-op mini-supermarket, and you can enjoy a hearty breakfast at the Colonels Caf on the Heritage Railway in Shepherdswell. For lunch, head to the National Trust Visitor Centre Caf or The Vineyard in the Valley Caf.
Just a few miles away, Lydden offers a lovely country pub, The Lydden Bell, while you can sample local ales at The Carpenters Arms in nearby Coldred.

The city hosts an annual festival featuring a wide range of musical events, from opera and symphonic concerts to world music, jazz, and folk theres always something new to discover.
