Whitstable Road, Canterbury, CT2

This attractive family home, was originally built in the 19th Century, is in the conservation area, and has plenty of original features throughout. The current owners have sympathetically updated the property to enhance and provide everything a modern family demands managing to effortlessly blend old and new.

This is a spacious property and has plenty of room for enjoying those large family gatherings yet the layout, which includes the converted garage, provides smaller areas offering plenty of flexibility to suit any family set up.

Enter the property into the immediately welcoming hallway, where there is a staircase, WC and cupboard, and then move into and appreciate the large area of open plan living. All the flooring throughout the hallway, kitchen and dining area is Karndean flooring. There is the attractive modern kitchen in a neutral colour, bathed in light from the side window. There is a double oven, wine chiller and plenty of cupboard space and work surfaces and installed by City Kitchens in 2022. The appliances are all Neff and there is also an induction hob, washing machine, dishwasher, fitted microwave and Corian worktops with a Quooker boiler tap.

This area seamlessly flows into the dining area, with two sets of French doors and a stable door which allow the light in and ready to utilise the outside area too.

Double doors, which can be folded back or closed as required lead to an impressive large living area, which can be sectioned to provide two cosy areas, as there is an open fire at one end and a log burner at the other, but is big enough to fit a large number of people. With original wooden floors and treble glazed windows, this is a super space to relax and enjoy those quieter moments too.

Upstairs there are four good sized double bedrooms, and a family bathroom with both a bath and shower.

Outside, the property was newly painted in 2023 and is set back from the pavement with a pretty maintained front garden. There is parking for three cars on the driveway. Both the front and rear garden were landscaped last year.

The rear garden is a well-kept enclosed garden which is sunny and quite private, there is a summerhouse already in situ as well as an Endless pool which was only purchased in 2020, and provides a great feature to get those lengths in, or simply enjoy the speakers and light and soak! New patios were laid in both the front and back garden last year.

The majority of the windows in the property were trebled glazed and a new front door, all fitted in 2023, and the wood burner was installed in the same year.

This property is in a fantastic location for all that Canterbury has to offer within walking distance to the mainline station where trains on the high speed train take just over the hour. Within a few minutes’ walk is the popular Goods Shed farmers market and restaurant and a Sainsburys local, the City Centre and Marlowe Theatre. The main High Street is within walking distance where there are an array of shops, restaurants and The Cathedral

There are convenient road links with easy access to the A2/M2 corridor. Nearby are some of the best primary and public schools, Kent College and University of Kent, as well as some of the best of the City’s parks and outdoor spaces.
