Description

Property Description: Guide Price £375,000 - £400,000. Situated in a peaceful lane on the outskirts of Canterbury, this four bedroom chalet bungalow combines flexible accommodation, a generous rear garden and a convenient position for the city centre, countryside walks and transport connections. With three bedrooms on the ground floor, a further bedroom and shower room upstairs, and useful outbuildings, the property has a layout that could suit families, downsizers or those needing space for guests and home working.

The property is approached via a driveway providing off-road parking, with an attached garage and an attractive frontage that gives little indication of the accommodation beyond. Inside, the kitchen and breakfast room forms a central part of the home. Fitted with cream-coloured cabinetry, contrasting worktops and a breakfast bar, it provides practical storage and preparation space, with room for informal dining. Its position also connects the principal ground-floor rooms, making it a natural part of everyday family life. The living and dining room is a particularly comfortable space, with room for a substantial corner sofa as well as a dining table. The arrangement of the room allows separate areas for relaxing and eating without losing the sense of an open, sociable living space.

Three bedrooms are arranged across the ground floor, providing considerable flexibility. These rooms could be used as bedrooms, guest accommodation or dedicated workspaces, depending on the needs of the next owners. A family bathroom, fitted with a bath and separate shower enclosure, serves this level. A separate utility room provides additional space for household appliances and storage, keeping everyday practicalities away from the main living areas.

Stairs lead from the kitchen to the first floor, where a further bedroom sits beneath the roofline, with dual aspect windows bringing light into the room. A separate shower room on this level creates a useful degree of independence, making the upstairs accommodation particularly well suited to guests, an older child or anyone seeking a quieter space away from the main household.

Outside: The rear garden is a significant feature of the property. Extending back from a paved seating area, the garden has a generous lawn, established boundaries and plenty of space for outdoor dining, children's play or gardening. The current owners particularly value the amount of sunshine the garden receives and the peaceful atmosphere of the lane. The property also has a garage and a separate workshop, providing valuable space for storage, hobbies or practical projects. The workshop may appeal to buyers looking for the potential to create a home office or studio, subject to the necessary consents and any required improvements.

Location: Tonford Lane is set back from the road and ideally located for access to both Chartham and Canterbury city centre along the River Stour cycle and footpath. Canterbury has a wealth of cultural and leisure amenities, excellent schools, a wide range of shops, bars and restaurants and good road and rail links. These include the UNESCO World Heritage Site Canterbury Cathedral, The King's Mile, Whitefriars Shopping Centre, University of Kent, Canterbury Christ Church University and The Marlowe Theatre. There are good road links with the A2 providing access to the channel port of Dover, Canterbury and the M2. The two mainline railway stations offer fast and frequent services with the high speed link from Canterbury West to London St Pancras (approximately 56 mins). 'The Riverside' which is situated on the other side of the Great Stour River boasts Curzon's 5 screen cinema as well as restaurants and bars that wrap around the new public square that overlook the river. The Spitfire Ground is home to Kent County Cricket in the South Canterbury area (just over 2 miles away) with regular cricket games. Summer concerts are hosted here with big names which have included Sir Elton John and Michael Bublé. Canterbury is also the home to Kent & Canterbury Hospital and The BMI Chaucer Hospital.
