Set within the grounds of Chilham Castle Estate, Dovecote Court is a small and exclusive mews-style development comprising a mere handful of individual properties arranged around a gated courtyard setting, centred around a beautiful dovecote.

Effectively a maisonette, you enter into the apartment via its own ground floor entrance and a short flight of stairs leads up to the accommodation, which is then on the one level.

From its elevated position, there are countryside views and a pretty outlook across the dovecote.

The apartment has been decorated in neutral colours with a contemporary finish throughout with wooden floors and stylish tiling in the bathrooms.

A large living and dining area opens into the adjoining kitchen, with plenty of windows providing natural light. There are modern units with a wood counter top, oven, gas hob, integrated washer/dryer, dishwasher and space for a large fridge/freezer and a butlers sink.

There are two double bedrooms, with wardrobes. The main bedroom has an updated en suite shower and there is a second shower room serving the guest room.

Aside from the communal areas, there is also a gated car park with two allocated parking spaces in addition to guest parking.

Most welcome is the amount of storage available, not least of which is a large loft with no less than 14 sq m (150 sq ft) of boarded area with full head height.

Dovecote Court is just a short walk from the picturesque and historic village of Chilham, with its beautiful church, public houses, tearoom and farm shop. Lying on the original Pilgrims Way, Chilham was once a resting post for weary pilgrims en route to Canterbury.

With the beautiful North Downs on the doorstep, there's plenty to entertain those looking to enjoy the great outdoors including numerous walks.
