Situation Courthope Dane is situated within the North Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the popular hamlet of Wheelbarrow Town about ½ mile south of Stelling Minnis. Elham lies to the south east and Rhodes Minnis and Lyminge to the south. Stone Street (B2068) provides access to Canterbury to the north and the M20, Hythe, Folkestone and both Westenhanger and Sandling Stations to the south. The Cottage Courthope Dane is a charming period cottage which is Grade 2 listed and is believed to date from about 1725. The property benefits from a wealth of period features with heavily beamed ceilings to the ground floor rooms and pretty inglenook fireplaces to the sitting room and main bedroom, each with a woodburning stove. There is a small study off one of the bedrooms which was previously plumbed as a bathroom and would make a convenient ensuite shower room. The cottage has potential for extension, subject to planning (see below). Planning Planning consent and listed building consent were granted in April 2004 for a 2 storey rear extension, details can be found under Planning Refs Y03/1419/SH and Y03/1441/SH (Shepway District Council). The extension was never built. Garden There is a small lawned garden immediately to the front of the property with a much larger garden lying beyond the workshop building and stable yard. This is laid to lawn and includes a Greenhouse, Garden Shed, Chicken Run and a Summerhouse. Barn This is generally of concrete frame and brick construction and comprises a workshop, 3 stables with Loddon type divisions, a tack room and 3 small store rooms. Adjoining the barn is a gated concrete yard linking to the paddocks. NB: The barn may have potential to be converted to alternative use such as a home office or holiday cottage subject to the necessary planning consent being obtained.
Paddocks To the side of the cottage and gardens are 2 paddocks which are capable of further sub-division with temporary equestrian fencing. NB: There is a footpath running between the garden and the paddocks which has been fenced off separately. Riding Stelling Minnis is a fantastic area for on and off road riding. The sellers are able to ride straight from the property onto the Minnis and enjoy long hacks without touching a busy road. There are also a number of tollrides in the area, particularly at the nearby Lyminge Forest. For further information go to the TROT website (tollrides.org.uk).
