Details
Situation
The parish of Guston was originally farmland belonging to St Augustines Monastery in Canterbury and later to the Dover Priory. It has remained a pleasant rural village surrounded by farmland and rolling countryside whilst accessible to the harbour town of Dover to the south with its promenade and marina, high street multiples and rail service inclusive of the high speed link to London St Pancras. To the north lies the Cinque Port town of Deal and further along the coastline Sandwich, whilst to the west is the cathedral city of Canterbury with its cultural interests, restaurants and numerous amenities. Schooling is well catered for both in the state and independent sector with the highly regarded boys and girls grammar school in Dover, Dover College and Northbourne Park Preparatory School. There is a wide range of local sporting and leisure activities including three championship golf courses, many historic sites of interest and access to beaches and coastal walks with St Margarets Bay and the former fishing village of Kingsdown being nearby.

The Property
Mapledene lies in a picturesque location with rolling countryside and farmland to front and rear approached via an unadopted road and forming a substantial detached property believed originally to be three farm cottages and a Wesleyan Methodist Chapel built in 1840. The house now provides substantial accommodation having painted elevations with pitched slate tiled roof and leaded light windows. In brief the panelled door opens to reception hall with alarm console and spiral staircase. Connecting doors lead to the sitting room with triple aspect, wood burning stove and slate and brick mantelpiece. There is a separate dining room with tongue and groove panelling. Ground floor cloakroom and kitchen to rear with tiled floor, beamed ceiling, 2 bowl acrylic sink unit and matching wall and base units with facility for dishwasher, electric cooker point and downlighting. Beyond this is a utility area with stainless steel sink unit, quarry tiled floor and rear access. From the utility and dining room is a lobby accessing the former church and inner hall with electric points (to convert to a kitchen thus creating a possible annexe) along with good size sitting room having door and twin windows to front and French doors to rear and feature exposed brick chimneybreast. There is a ground floor bedroom and shower room with matching two piece suite, tiled splashback and floor. From the reception hall in the main house are stairs to first floor landing with connecting doors to four bedrooms, the master facing front has a walk through dressing area and access to an ensuite shower room with three piece matching suite including vanity unit. There is an open space to the landing presently used as a study with computer point and airing cupboard housing hot water cylinder with immersion back up. There is a separate cloakroom with corner wash hand basin and WC. The family bathroom has a modern matching two piece white suite with whirlpool bath, fully tiled surround, shower screen and double cupboard unit. Externally from the approach road is the opportunity for off road parking, garden principally to the side being lawned with feature pond and high level hedging and mature trees to border providing some degree of privacy and seclusion. The rear garden has a patio area with seating space, outside water supply and access to side.
