Guide price £625,000 - £650,000. EPC awaited.

A substantial five-bedroom detached family home offering just under 2000 square foot of beautifully presented and well-thought-out accommodation, enjoying a peaceful and very private position within the established St. Augustine`s development in Chartham. The area is undoubtedly one of the most desirable places to raise a family, with an abundance of green spaces, beautiful woodland walks and open countryside enjoying far-reaching views right on the doorstep, it`s a fantastic setting for active families and those who enjoy spending time outdoors. The village itself is well served with local amenities, including a well-regarded primary school and nursery, whilst the mainline railway station provides direct services into London. Canterbury is within easy reach, offering an excellent choice of secondary schools and there are buses into the city centre so teenagers can travel to school independently.

The property enjoys an enviable position tucked away within a peaceful cul-de-sac, approached via a generous, private driveway beautifully screened by tall, mature hedging. The established greenery creates a wonderful sense of seclusion, with the house nestled amongst leafy surroundings and enjoying a lovely degree of privacy. The substantial driveway provides ample off-road parking and leads to a detached double garage, complete with electric doors and an EV charging point.

From the moment you step inside, there is an immediate sense of space and light, with a wonderfully welcoming entrance hall that sets the tone for the rest of the home. Beautiful stone flooring adds a touch of understated elegance, continuing seamlessly through to the kitchen, dining room and utility areas, creating a lovely sense of flow and continuity throughout the ground floor. The staircase is another attractive feature, with its traditional white balustrade, natural wood handrail and elegant carpet runner adding character to the space. Off the entrance hall, you will find a downstairs WC and a separate cloak room, providing a dedicated space for coats and shoes.

The ground floor has a wonderful sense of flow, with sets of double doors connecting the living spaces, creating a lovely feeling of openness whilst still allowing each room to retain its own purpose. To the right, a generous double-aspect sitting room spans the depth of the house, enjoying an abundance of natural light and featuring a gas fireplace and French doors opening directly onto the garden. A set of double doors leads through to a further spacious reception room, another wonderfully bright and versatile space, with large windows overlooking the garden and a second set of French doors opening onto the patio. The connection between these two rooms works beautifully for both everyday family life and entertaining, allowing the spaces to be opened up when hosting family and friends, whilst also providing the flexibility of two separate sitting areas, giving everyone their own space to relax and unwind.

The kitchen is beautifully appointed with an attractive range of contemporary Shaker-style cabinets in a soft sage green, complemented by contrasting dark worktops and white metro-tiled splashbacks. It`s a good-sized space which is open to a lovely dining room with French doors out to the garden, making it practical for dinner times, quick bites and entertaining.

A fantastic range-style cooker takes centre stage, whilst further features include an integrated dishwasher, drinks chiller, ceramic sink with a filtered water tap and space for a freestanding fridge/freezer. An adjoining utility room adds to the practicality and has been fitted with matching cabinets offering further storage, with space for laundry appliances and a sink. A door provides direct access to the rear garden.

Completing the ground floor is the downstairs study, offering a dedicated space for those who work from home.

Upstairs, the staircase opens onto a spacious and airy landing, with a lovely sense of openness that continues the feeling of space found throughout the home. The generous layout means the five bedrooms are nicely spaced apart, rather than leading off a narrow corridor, giving the first floor a relaxed and open feel. A window at the far end allows natural light to filter through, whilst the landing itself offers a charming little spot for a reading chair, creating a peaceful corner to sit.

A particularly attractive feature of the home is that two of the bedrooms enjoy their own en-suite bathrooms, in addition to the main family bathroom, providing a wonderful level of comfort, privacy and convenience for busy family life. The main bedroom is a lovely bright room which overlooks the garden and features fitted wardrobes decorated in a soft sage-green colour. It`s en-suite is decorated with warm, natural stone-effect tiling and has a contemporary corner bath as well as a separate walk-in shower enclosure.

There are two further doubles, both with fitted wardrobes and the second one benefitting from an en-suite, beautifully finished with classic white metro tiling and patterned floor tiling, which features a bath with a shower over. The remaining two bedrooms are single bedrooms, ideal for children and there is a family bathroom which has been beautifully finished in a contemporary style, with soft, neutral wall tiles complemented by attractive wood-effect floor tiling. A generous bathtub provides the perfect spot for a relaxing soak whilst a separate shower enclosure offers everyday convenience.

OUTSIDE:

The property has a delightful rear garden, offering a fantastic sense of privacy and seclusion, beautifully enclosed by tall, mature hedging, established trees and secure fencing, creating a peaceful and sheltered space for the whole family to enjoy.

A generous, paved terrace spans the rear of the house, with plenty of room for outdoor dining furniture and seating areas, perfect for summer barbecues and relaxing in the sunshine. Steps lead up to a lovely expanse of lawn, providing plenty of space for children to play, whilst established borders filled with mature shrubs, flowering plants and trees add colour, character and a beautiful leafy backdrop.

Tucked away in the corner of the garden is a charming timber summerhouse, a wonderfully versatile feature which could make a great children`s playhouse, a peaceful garden sitting room or a creative retreat for hobbies such as painting and crafts.
