Valley views and a stunning bespoke kitchen are part of the package at a newly refurbished country house that’s now on the market.

Four-bedroom detached home, White Lodge, is in the sought-after village of Lydden, between Canterbury and Dover and is on the books of estate agent Finn’s priced at £525,000.

There’s an integral garage with an interconnecting door to the hallway and the large driveway has just been resurfaced with grey block-paving.

Front door leads to a light-filled front hallway with cloakroom off. Parties will always be easy in the 31ft x 22 ft kitchen/dining/living space that stretches across the back of the house.

This double aspect L-shaped space has two sets of french doors to the patio and the large and well-established back garden.

The brand new kitchen includes grey soft-close units and has state-of-the-art contemporary worktops by Minerva, that come with a 10-year warranty.

There’s a breakfast bar and integrated appliances include a washing machine, dishwasher and a built-in oven/grill with a combined microwave.

Also on the ground floor is a separate study with a window to the front, which is ideal for anyone wanting to work from home.

The four large bedrooms and two newly fitted bathrooms are on the first floor.

Buyers will be impressed by brand new top quality Amtico flooring, as well as thick carpets upstairs.

Sarah Parker-Yates, of Finn’s says: “White Lodge is a great family home, with spacious and light open-plan living.

“The property is presented in immaculate order throughout, having undergone an extensive programme of refurbishment works that have been completed to a very high standard.

“The sought-after village of Lydden is set within a nature reserve, has a great pub, the Lydden Bell and is also conveniently placed, with excellent road links between Canterbury and Dover and nearby train stations at both Kearsney and Shepherdswell."
