Durham Close, Canterbury

Situated in a peaceful road in the popular and well-connected area of Wincheap, this three-bedroom family home offers spacious, light-filled accommodation and a wonderful opportunity for buyers looking to put their own stamp on a property. The location is perfect for those needing easy access into the city centre, which is in fact within walking distance of the property and is a great choice for young families as it`s within a short walk of Wincheap`s highly regarded primary school as well as The Orchard School and St. Nicholas School.

Whilst the house would benefit from some cosmetic updating, it offers a great amount of potential, with well-proportioned rooms, a generous lounge/diner and a low-maintenance rear garden. The ground floor accommodation begins with an entrance porch leading into the hallway, which opens into a particularly spacious lounge/diner which offers plenty of space for both comfortable seating and a family dining table, with large windows at either end allowing natural light to flood in.

The kitchen is a good size and is fitted with a range of wooden units and worktop space, with a door opening directly onto the rear garden. There is an integrated oven and hob and space for a freestanding fridge/freezer and washing machine. The kitchen offers plenty of scope for a new owner to update to suit their own taste and style.

Upstairs, there are three bedrooms, including two good-sized doubles and a third bedroom which would make an ideal child`s bedroom, nursery or home office. The rear bedroom enjoys a particularly lovely outlook, with views across the rooftops towards the cathedral in the distance. The family bathroom is a good size and benefits from both a bath and separate shower cubicle.

Outside, there is generous rear garden which has been designed with ease of maintenance in mind, with a spacious paved terrace providing space for outdoor seating and dining, and steps leading down to a further gravelled area beyond. There is also a useful timber shed, providing good storage and a gate providing rear access.

The property is currently heated by storage heaters. Buyers wishing to explore the installation of gas central heating should make their own enquiries with the local gas network operator, although it is understood that other properties on the same road are connected to mains gas.
