Abbots Place, Canterbury

An elegant Georgian-style terrace home, tucked away within a wonderfully peaceful cul-de-sac in Canterbury`s highly sought-after King`s Mile, offered to the market with no forward chain. The property offers four bedrooms, an established courtyard garden, driveway parking and the considerable advantage of a garage to the rear, which is set behind secure electric gates. From the rooms at the front of the house, there are also wonderful views towards the Cathedral a striking reminder of just how close you are to the historic heart of the city.

There is a real sense of seclusion here; despite being so close to the heart of Canterbury, the property feels remarkably removed from the bustle of the city. Step outside, however, and Canterbury`s cobbled streets, magnificent Cathedral and acclaimed Marlowe Theatre are just moments away.

The house itself has an elegant, traditional character and provides an excellent opportunity for its next owners to update and personalise the interiors to their own taste. For anyone looking to embrace the very best of Canterbury life, the location is difficult to beat. Independent cafés, restaurants, shops and cultural attractions are all close at hand, while riverside walks and attractive city gardens offer a quieter side to the city. It is a rare setting that allows you to feel tucked away at home while having everything Canterbury has to offer virtually on your doorstep.

The front door opens into a spacious entrance hall, with a WC conveniently positioned just off the hallway and stairs rising to the first floor. There is a particularly generous lounge/diner which extends the full depth of the house, with large characterful sash windows either end allowing an abundance of natural light in, a lovely space to relax and entertain in. A remote-controlled gas fire with an attractive stone mantelpiece is a nice focal point of the room.

To the rear, you will find a bright kitchen which has a door opening directly onto the courtyard garden. The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units with integrated appliances including an electric hob, electric oven and in addition a small combi oven which can be used as a microwave, fridge/freezer, a new washer/dryer and there is a small breakfast table built in.

Stairs rise to a spacious first floor landing, leading to three bedrooms and a spacious shower room. Two of these bedrooms are spacious double rooms, both benefitting from fitted wardrobes and the third bedroom is a bright, single room, perfect for a nursery or an office.

A concealed staircase from the landing leads to a spacious double bedroom at the top of the house with two dormer-style windows and an en-suite shower room. This room benefits from excellent built-in storage, with eaves storage and two walk-in storage rooms, with one being used as a small workshop space.

OUTSIDE:

To the rear, the property enjoys a peaceful and well-established courtyard garden providing a wonderfully secluded outdoor space in the heart of the city. There is plenty of space for an outdoor table and chairs, making it a lovely spot to sit and enjoy some alfresco dining. Mature shrubs, climbing plants and an abundance of established greenery soften the boundaries and create an attractive, leafy backdrop, while a summerhouse provides useful storage. The garden also benefits from an electric heater and outdoor electrics.

Directly in front of the property is a driveway, providing off-road parking and to the rear, the property benefits from a garage en bloc, set behind secure electric gates. Please be advised that there is an annual contribution of £30 for the use and maintenance of the gate
