5 bed detached house for sale

Lincoln Avenue, Canterbury, Kent CT1

Set in a tucked away location in a popular residential area, 11 Lincoln Avenue offers excellent accommodation in a good-sized mature garden.

The front door opens to a welcoming central hall off which the accommodation radiates; there is a useful cloakroom to one side. The bright sitting room looks to the front of the house and is arranged around a fireplace. Sliding doors open to the conservatory with French doors leading outside in turn. Together these provide a large space in which to relax and entertain.

Across the hall, to the front of the house, is a peaceful study.

With large windows looking to the garden the kitchen/dining room is an excellent family space at the heart of the house. Arranged around an island with beautifully fitted Shaker style units by Herringbone, a peninsula breakfast bar divides the kitchen and dining area, where there is plenty of space for a large table. Doors open to the garden and to a useful utility space with a further cloakroom. Beyond this is an additional splendid reception room with a vaulted ceiling and exposed oak beams, currently used as a stunning music room.

On the first floor there are five well-presented double bedrooms, three of which benefit from built-in storage. The principal bedroom has an en suite bathroom with a jacuzzi bath with shower over and twin basins. A family bathroom with a bath and separate shower completes the accommodation.

11 Lincoln Avenue has a driveway to the front providing parking for several cars.

The garden is a major feature of the house, and its generous size is perhaps unexpected in this location.

A sheltered terrace close to the house provides a fabulous entertaining space and the lawn stretches away, opening out to a further area of garden where there is a large shed and a summer house, both of which have power. There are vegetable beds and a greenhouse, as well as two further sheds, provides useful storage.

Various mature trees in the environs create a mature and established setting for the house.

The property is in a popular South Canterbury residential area and benefits from the historic Cathedral City’s wealth of cultural, sporting and leisure amenities, including the Marlowe Theatre and the Beaney House of Art & Knowledge. There are several cafés, bars and fine restaurants in the city, as well as a major shopping centre and many individual shops. Notable schools in the area include the Simon Langton Grammar schools, St Edmund's and The King’s Schools.

Communication links are well-provided with the nearby A2 giving direct access to the motorway network, linking the M2 and M20. The city also offers a High-Speed commute from Canterbury West station into London St Pancras in under an hour, as well as services to London Victoria from Canterbury East. The area has good access to the Continent via Eurotunnel and the Port of Dover.
