Hales Drive, Canterbury

A wonderful four-bedroom semi-detached family home enjoying an enviable position on a pretty, tree-lined road in the desirable area of St. Stephen`s, a stone`s throw from the well-regarded primary school. This treasured home has been exceptionally well cared for by its current owners of 30 years, who have enjoyed raising a family there and having the convenience of the City Centre and West Station a short walk away. It is offered to the market with a complete onward chain.

The property occupies a surprisingly generous plot, with the most glorious rear garden which measures approximately 200ft. You would certainly be hard pushed to find such a large garden, so close to the City Centre! The property has been thoughtfully extended and offers bright, spacious accommodation throughout which has been tastefully decorated in a neutral palette.

It is set back from the road and has an attractive front garden and brick paved driveway providing parking for two cars. The front door opens into a spacious hallway with a door to the right leading into a large, dual aspect living room with French doors to the rear, opening out to a private patio section of the garden. The living room features a lovely bay window to the front with a pleasant outlook onto the greenery of the front garden and there is a wood burning stove. The hallway then continues, leading through to a wonderful kitchen/diner with another set of French doors opening to the garden. The kitchen is beautifully appointed, with a range of sleek grey cabinets. There is plenty of space for a large dining table and there is a breakfast bar, perfect for enjoying your morning cup of coffee whilst looking out to the garden. Integrated appliances include a double oven and an induction hob, facing out to the dining area so you can still socialise with friends and family whilst cooking. Off the kitchen, you will find an internal lobby which leads to a useful WC and the garage which benefits from an electric door.

Newly laid carpet runs up the stairs to an incredibly spacious landing, with doors leading to four well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom. The landing presents a versatile space, which could be used as an office or study area, or could even be re-configured to create an en-suite bathroom. There are three good-sized double rooms, all with built in storage and a generously sized single room. The family bathroom is spacious and features a four-piece suite with a large shower unit and a lovely deep bathtub.

OUTSIDE:

To the rear, the property has the most delightful garden, perfect for those who enjoy spending time outdoors. It is surprisingly large, measuring approximately 200ft and is sectioned to provide an area of the garden for everyone, whether it`s playing a bit of footie on the lawn, growing your own vegetables at the rear or enjoying a family meal alfresco on the patio. It has some beautiful mature trees which offer a great deal of privacy and delicate shade and there is a mini fruit orchard at the back. Our favourite section of the garden has to be walking through the jasmine adorned trellis to a peaceful, almost circular section which is bordered by pretty, mature shrubs.

LOCATION:

Hales Drive is a wonderful road, with a lovely sense of community, full of long-standing residents and young families. It is perfect for those with young children at St. Stephen`s Junior School, which is a stone`s throw away. You also have Kent College Junior School a short drive away and Canterbury offers an excellent selection of secondary schools. With the City Centre being within walking distance, the location is ideal for when children get older and want more of their own independence. For those who commute, the West Station is within walking distance. Here, you will be able to catch the high-speed service into London St. Pancras.

You have some lovely playgrounds and playing fields nearby including Beverley Meadow and there is a charming traditional pub, Ye Olde Beverlie, which is at the heart of the community. There is a convenience store, which includes a post office and chemist, just over the road and there are two excellent leisure centres, offering state of the art gyms and large swimming pools
