Description
With its newly painted exterior and charming bay windows it has an attractive appearance with steps that lead up to the modern front door. This opens into a lobby and the hallway that includes a staircase to the first floor and engineered wood flooring that flows through much of the ground floor. There is a spacious double bedroom with a bay window overlooking the driveway and an en suite shower room. This would be ideal for elderly relatives, however, it is currently being used as an excellent study. The delightful light and airy kitchen and breakfast area is extremely well-equipped with a Rangemaster stove and units with quartz worktops, integrated appliances and a Quooker tap. The breakfast area has a glazed pitched roof and French doors to the wraparound terrace as well as a fitted utility area.
The light and spacious dual aspect lounge/diner has room for a good sized dining table and French doors to the terrace and a second set of French doors opens into the conservatory, providing delightful views over the garden, while a wide archway leads to the play/family area.
The staircase leads to the first floor galleried landing with access to a boarded loft, a shower room, a family bath/shower room and four double bedrooms. These include a guest room with fitted cupboards and the lovely triple aspect main bedroom with a charming bay window and built in bedroom furniture.
Another special feature of this property is the secluded rear garden. In addition to the large patio there is a raised barbecue and al fresco dining area, a good sized lawn bordered by colourful shrub beds as well as pear, apple and cherry trees and strawberry plants, which should keep green fingered enthusiasts happy. There is also greenhouse and a garden shed with lighting and electrics that powers the outdoor lighting.
What the Owner says:
We were really taken with the property when we first came to look at it. It is in a very convenient location, close to the city centre, local schools and Canterbury West station where the fast train can whisk you to London in under an hour. At the same time, it is very quiet and peaceful. The house is a bit of ‘Tardis' as it can come as a surprise to visitors when the see the space available, the size of the rooms and the large garden that close into the city.
Ironically, we had just completed all the upgrades to the property we wanted as we thought it would be our ‘forever' home but a new business opportunity means we need to move although we shall really miss it. During our time here we have installed a new boiler and a Megaflo hot water system to provide high pressure showers, recently repainted the outside of the property, upgraded the kitchen and plumbing, relandscaped the garden and redecorated throughout.
Canterbury is such a beautiful place with its historic buildings coupled to its first class shopping facilities as well as wonderful restaurants, pubs and cafes, two theatres and a cinema. It also includes excellent grammar and top class private schools as well as three universities. There is the Kent cricket ground and other sports facilities including golf clubs and it is not far to Dover and Folkestone for trips to the Continent or the beaches at Whitstable, Herne Bay and Thanet.
