Island Road, Sturry

A substantial and imposing detached family home, offered to the market with no onward chain and located in the popular village of Sturry, approximately two miles north-east of Canterbury. Standing in wonderful grounds, the property has planning permission for an extension to the rear and lapsed planning for two semi-detached houses - under application number CA//19/00159 which could be reinstated subject to re-application - creating a superb opportunity for potential future development. The long driveway provides parking for numerous vehicles and leads to the detached garage and brick-built outbuilding/workshop with power and water. Upon entry to the property, a welcoming hallway gives you an instant sense of space with high ceilings, wonderful period features and original timber flooring. The principal reception room has a fireplace and large windows which allow an abundance of light to fill the room and leads to the conservatory with double doors opening to the garden. The dual aspect dining room can be found to the front and has wooden flooring, a beautiful fireplace with marble surround and a large bay window offering views across the grounds to the front. To the rear of the property you will find the extensive kitchen that has an array of fitted wall and floor units, solid oak worktops and room for both washing and cooking appliances. Adjacent to the kitchen, there is a downstairs cloakroom/WC, storage cupboards and a door giving rear access to the brick-built store, garage and garden. Rising to the first floor via the wide staircase, there are three very good size bedrooms and family bathroom with separate WC. The dual aspect master bedroom has the advantage of built-in wardrobes and is impressive in size. In addition, there is a large second bedroom with bay windows to front. The family bathroom has a fitted suite with bath and overhead shower and a separate WC. Outside, the property has new fence panelling and mature shrubs and trees surrounding the border giving a sense of privacy and seclusion. The wrap around garden is mainly laid to lawn but also has numerous fruit trees and a wonderful area that would make a perfect fruit and vegetable allotment. A viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the wealth of accommodation this fine home has to offer, particularly with the future potential of development and extensions subject to planning consent.
