Maynard Cottage is a charming three-bedroom Grade II listed cottage offering spacious and characterful accommodation arranged over four floors, including a generous cellar and impressive sitting room with a striking inglenook-style fireplace. Offered to the market with no forward chain, this distinctive home is situated in Wincheap, within easy walking distance of Canterbury`s vibrant city centre and both mainline railway stations. Canterbury West provides high-speed services to London St Pancras, making the property particularly well placed for those who regularly commute into London.

The cottage presents an attractive Grade II listed façade with handsome red brickwork, while internally the accommodation retains a wealth of character and is arranged over four floors. The front door opens into an entrance hall, with a door to the right leading into the generous and bright sitting room. Here, an impressive brick-built inglenook-style fireplace with a traditional cast-iron fire basket creates a wonderful focal point, complemented by an exposed timber beam which further enhances the room`s period character.

A distinctive staircase leads down to the kitchen, creating an interesting split-level arrangement, while a further staircase descends to the spacious cellar. The kitchen features a charming tiled floor and is fitted with an attractive range of sage-green wall and base cabinets, complemented by wood-effect work surfaces and space for freestanding appliances.

With its exposed brickwork and direct connection to the kitchen, the cellar offers a wonderfully characterful and atmospheric space which could lend itself particularly well to use as a dining room. A door from here provides access to a large boiler cupboard.

From the kitchen, a door opens into a spacious conservatory, providing useful additional living space and access to the rear garden.

Completing this level is a modern, well-appointed bathroom fitted with a white suite comprising a bath with shower over, wash basin and WC.

On the first floor, attractive period-style timber doors lead to two generous double bedrooms, with a separate WC also accessed from the landing. The main bedroom, positioned to the front of the property, is a particularly appealing room with two large windows providing plenty of natural light, while exposed timbers add further character. The room also benefits from an en-suite shower room. The second bedroom is positioned to the rear and is another comfortable double, featuring built-in wardrobes together with a useful, fitted wash basin and storage.

A staircase from the first-floor landing rises to the third bedroom, a wonderfully atmospheric and individual room distinguished by its dramatic vaulted ceiling and impressive array of exposed roof timbers.

OUTSIDE:

To the rear, the property enjoys a generous garden, predominantly laid to lawn and complemented by established trees and planting. A large timber shed provides useful storage, while the garden offers plenty of scope for further landscaping and personalisation.

Permit parking is available on Wincheap, with residents required to obtain the relevant permit from the local authority, subject to availability.
