St. Lawrence Forstal, Canterbury

A splendid, detached four-bedroom residence situated in a peaceful cul-de sac, just moments from the cathedral city of Canterbury and the sought-after Simon Langton Grammar schools.

The property has remained with one family since it was built in the late 1970s and offers over 2,100 sq. ft. of wonderfully proportioned space, including an integral garage. The accommodation is immaculately presented and provides the opportunity to modernise and further enhance.

The attractive exterior features a symmetrical façade, with windows set on either side of the front door, which is sheltered by a pillared canopy. The entrance hall, with a large cloakroom and staircase leading to the first floor, is bright and airy, with light streaming in through the glazed doors.

The open-plan living area can be accessed from two points and is configured in an L-shape, offering plenty of room for dining and relaxing. A gas fire provides additional heating, while the French doors open onto a sun terrace.

The kitchen/breakfast room is equipped with an array of wall and floor units surrounding all main appliances and opens into a separate utility room and the garage.

The ground floor is further complemented by an additional reception room, which works well as a guest bedroom, office, or playroom.

To the first floor, a large galleried landing leads to four generously proportioned bedrooms and a well-appointed family bathroom. The main bedroom features an array of fitted wardrobes, while the second-largest bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower room.

OUTSIDE:

Beautifully positioned to capture the afternoon and evening sunshine, the garden is mainly laid to lawn and enclosed by mature hedging. The sun terrace, accessible via the French doors in the dining room, enjoys a particularly sunny spot.

The front garden is particularly attractive, with a mature tree and rose bushes bordering the driveway, which leads to the integral garage. The garage could be further converted, offering additional living accommodation (STPC).
