Orchard View, Broad Oak, Canterbury

This beautifully presented, modern and spacious family home offers five bedrooms and is ideally situated in the heart of Broad Oak Village. Set within an exclusive private development of just 14 detached homes, the property enjoys stunning, far-reaching views across an unspoilt valley and open countryside.

The front door opens into an impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and living space, creating a superb environment for both family life and entertaining. The contemporary kitchen is fitted with gloss units, quartz worktops and a range of integrated appliances, complemented by a separate utility room. The living and dining area is flooded with natural light, enhanced by bi-folding doors that open directly onto the landscaped rear garden. To the front of the house there is a dedicated home office, along with a beautifully appointed downstairs cloakroom.

Upstairs, the landing leads to the impressive principal bedroom suite, which features bi-folding doors opening onto a balcony with uninterrupted views across the valley and countryside beyond. The westerly aspect provides breathtaking sunsets. The principal suite also benefits from a walk-in dressing room and a stylish en-suite shower room. There are four further well-proportioned bedrooms, with bedroom two enjoying its own en-suite shower room, in addition to a contemporary family bathroom.

Externally, the property offers a driveway with parking for four vehicles, along with a double garage fitted with electric doors. The rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped to include areas of lawn, a paved patio ideal for al fresco dining, and raised sleeper beds attractively planted. The garden also enjoys the same wonderful sunset views.

Broad Oak is a sought-after village located just north of the historic cathedral city of Canterbury, offering an excellent balance of rural living and everyday convenience. Surrounded by rolling farmland and open countryside, the village enjoys a community-oriented atmosphere while being very well connected.

Canterbury city centre is just a short drive away and is renowned for its rich history, cultural attractions, independent shops, cafés and restaurants. Transport links are excellent, with easy access to the A2 for routes towards London and the Kent coast, as well as a nearby mainline railway station at Sturry providing regular high-speed services to London St Pancras.

The village benefits from a popular local primary school in Sturry, a village hall and a well-regarded public house, contributing to a strong sense of community. Scenic walks and bridleways are easily accessible, making the area ideal for those who enjoy outdoor pursuits and a rural lifestyle.

The property has the benefit of a new build warranty, which is in place until 2029. There is a service charge of £25 per month for the private road which includes all maintenance to the communal areas and is managed by the residents, rather than by a management company. We have been given this information by the owners and suggest the purchaser and their solicitor checks before exchange of contracts.

Educationally, Canterbury is very well provided for offering an excellent range of primary and secondary schools in both the state and independent sectors. The King’s Junior School is a short drive away in Sturry, while the University of Kent and Canterbury Christ Church University are both within easy reach.
