South Canterbury Road, Canterbury

A fine example of a 1930s detached period property situated in one of the most prestigious locations in South Canterbury within walking distance of the city centre, the Kent and Canterbury Hospital and highly regarded grammar schools. The property has been extended and fully refurbished in recent years to create a wonderfully spacious family home. An entrance porch leads into a characterful hallway which has built-in cupboards, a cloakroom and a tiled floor that runs through much of the ground floor. At the front of the house is a good size reception room with a bay window, currently used as a study. A beautiful and spacious dual-aspect sitting room has doors onto the garden and connecting French doors which lead into a family room. This has bi-fold doors onto the garden and is open plan to the large dining room and in turn the kitchen, creating a wonderful and functional living space. The kitchen/dining room has a side extension with triple roof lights with electric openers, a central island with an integrated fridge, separate freezer, pan drawers and a wrapped marble blond granite work top to match the other work surfaces. A further range of wall and base units has a built in oven and microwave in addition to a combination gas and induction hob with a central griddle. At the far end is a utility room with wall and base units and space and plumbing for utilities and an additional pantry has base units, work tops and shelving. On the first floor is a part-galleried landing with a window allowing light to flood in. The master bedroom suite is very impressive with a dressing room, a Juliet balcony overlooking the immaculate gardens and a contemporary ensuite shower room. A large guest bedroom also has an ensuite shower room and there are two further bedrooms and a family bathroom. The extensive rear garden measures in excess of 160' and is divided into two sections. The first section has a large patio adjacent to the house leading onto an expanse of lawn split by a pathway. There is a large Bramley apple tree in a central position, raised sleeper flowerbeds and a pergola, which spans the width of the garden and is covered with a purple flowering wisteria. A gateway leads into an orchard area with a variety of fruit trees with a further patio area at the far end and various outbuildings. At the front of the property is a block paved driveway with parking for several vehicles.
