The Drove, Whitfield, CT16

A Rare Two-in-One Opportunity – Substantial Detached Residence with Expansive Self-Contained Annexe in Sought-After Whitfield

Tucked away in a quiet and highly desirable residential street in Whitfield, this exceptional detached property comes to the market offering a truly rare opportunity – essentially two properties in one. With a fully self-contained, two-storey annexe seamlessly integrated yet independently accessible, this home offers unrivalled versatility for multi-generational living or income generation.

Main Residence

The main home welcomes you with a spacious hallway leading into a generous, open-plan kitchen/breakfast room and a large lounge/dining area, both of which open out onto an expansive rear patio – perfect for entertaining and everyday family life.
A flexible additional reception room, conveniently located next to a modern shower room, offers multiple uses – from a home office or playroom to a guest suite or fifth bedroom within the main property – and also enjoys direct garden access through patio doors.
Upstairs, four well-proportioned double bedrooms await, three of which benefit from built-in wardrobes. A large, beautifully appointed family bathroom features both a bath and a walk-in shower, catering to every family need.

The Annexe

Far more than a simple extension, the annexe offers a truly independent living space that functions as a separate home in its own right. With its own private entrances to both the front and rear, it provides complete privacy while still being connected to the main residence via an adjoining internal door from the annexe kitchen to the main kitchen — which can be closed off entirely if desired. Arranged over two floors, the annexe comprises a spacious entrance hall with built-in storage, a well-appointed kitchen, a full family bathroom, and two bedrooms — one of which is currently used as a study. The large bay-fronted reception room, currently adapted as a lounge/bedroom to suit the mobility needs of the present occupant, further highlights the annexe's remarkable flexibility. Whether you're accommodating elderly relatives, giving older children a sense of independence, welcoming guests, or exploring rental income opportunities, this self-contained annexe offers a rare and valuable lifestyle option within the property.

Outside Space

Set on a generous plot, the garden is a standout feature of this property. The previous owners acquired additional land to the rear, creating a separate fenced garden area currently used for animals, complete with a large workshop/kennel and additional storage shed. The main garden features a vast paved patio area of approximately 130 square metres, accessible from three separate sets of patio doors, as well as a level lawn – ideal for both relaxation and entertaining.

Location

Whitfield remains one of the most convenient and well-connected locations in the region. With a well-regarded primary school nearby and the A2 just moments away, commuting and family life are made easy. The vibrant, historic city of Canterbury is less than 20 minutes by car and access to continental Europe is right on your doorstep via the Port of Dover or Eurotunnel.

This unique property delivers space, flexibility, and potential in equal measure – a truly standout offering in today’s market. Early viewing is highly recommended.
