Property description

This 3 bedroom semi-detached home with off-street parking in the ancient and characterful village of River will appeal to anybody interested in a 1930's character home.
Many of the features associated with a house of this period are present. The ground floor still has 2 separate reception rooms, both with picture rails and fireplaces and a bay window in the lounge. The kitchen, while small, has been fitted in a more contemporary style but does have the potential to open into the dining room to make something a little more open plan.

Upstairs, you again find original fireplaces in the two good-sized double bedrooms. The bathroom is fitted with a white 3 piece suite and the single bedroom could make a great child's bedroom, walk-in wardrobe or study.

The main selling point for this property is, however, the garden. South-facing and backing onto the river Dour, it is a beautifully peaceful spot for relaxing or entertaining in the summer months, when the sun is shining and the ducks are swimming in the water. There is also plenty of room for a conservatory to be built on the back of the house without taking too much away from the garden itself.

As a location, River will more than adequately meet the needs of most. The village is well served by buses, has an outstanding (OFSTED) primary school, 4 family-friendly pubs, several shops, 2 churches and a wide variety of local interest groups, such as the Dour Dramatic Players or the River Gardeners. There are a wealth of transport options for commuters, with the A2/M2 and A20/M20 a few minutes away and the HS1 rail link to St. Pancras available from Dover. For the culturally minded, the historic town of Dover and cathedral city of Canterbury, with their castles, theatres and museums, are within easy reach and for sports enthusiasts there are many opportunities for walking, cycling, gliding, sea-fishing and the like.

Although this property comes with the usual extras, such as gas-fired central heating and white PVC double glazing, it would also benefit from some modernisation. Viewing is by appointment only so please call Geering & Colyer who would be very happy to show you around.
