Hackington Road, Tyler Hill, Cantebruy, CT2

DESCRIPTION
This lovely detached chalet bungalow was built, we believe, in the 1930s and occupies a generous plot just shy of 0.4 of an acre.
Construction is of painted brick with some Crittall leaded light windows and double-glazed windows, bi-folding doors and two impressive sky lantern windows, a central original entry door with braces, under a tiled roof.

The current owner has much improved the property by adding a substantial extension, which now provides a superb, open plan living/dining/family/kitchen area, with bi-fold doors that open onto a decking entertaining area to the rear of the property, all creating space and flexibility perfect for modern-day family living.

OUTSIDE
To the front of the property is a substantial block paved drive providing ample parking and access to the garage, which is located to the side.

The delightful rear garden is perfect for all garden lovers, being mainly laid to lawn with an abundance of mature tree species, shrubs, under-planting, and flower beds. There is a pretty weatherboarded timber-framed summer house, and the decking area is perfect for family BBQs, or enjoying an evening sundowner whilst taking in the lovely views out over the gardens.

Single garage sits to the side of the property with roller doors to the front, power and light.

SITUATION
The property is located in Tyler Hill, a small village which lies to the north of Canterbury and is known for its rural setting near the city and the University of Kent. The area is historically significant for its medieval pottery and tile industry, due to its rich clay soils. Today, it is a residential area with a village hall and a pub, and its surrounding countryside is part of the Forest of Blean.

The Cathedral City of Canterbury with its many cultural interests, excellent shopping centre, good choice of schools in both the state and private sectors, colleges and universities is about 2.5 miles away. Recreation facilities in and around the area include sports centres and swimming pools, and an excellent choice of golf courses, Kent cricket, and rugby, and fishing and water sports can be found along the coast.

Transport links are also good, with the high-speed train services operating from Canterbury West to London St. Pancras in just under 58 minutes. The A2 gives easy access onto the M20, M25, and M2 motorway networks. The Channel Tunnel at Cheriton and the Port of Dover provide services to the continent.
