The westerly aspect provides breathtaking sunsets. The principal suite also benefits from a walk-in dressing room and a stylish en-suite shower room. There are four further well-proportioned bedrooms, with bedroom two enjoying its own en-suite shower room, in addition to a contemporary family bathroom.

Externally, the property offers a driveway with parking for four vehicles, along with a double garage fitted with electric doors.

Broad Oak is a sought-after village located just north of the historic cathedral city of Canterbury, offering an excellent balance of rural living and everyday convenience. Surrounded by rolling farmland and open countryside, the village enjoys a community-oriented atmosphere while being very well connected.

Canterbury city centre is just a short drive away and is renowned for its rich history, cultural attractions, independent shops, cafés and restaurants. Transport links are excellent, with easy access to the A2 for routes towards London and the Kent coast, as well as a nearby mainline railway station at Sturry providing regular high-speed services to London St Pancras.

The village benefits from a popular local primary school in Sturry, a village hall and a well-regarded public house, contributing to a strong sense of community. Scenic walks and bridleways are easily accessible, making the area ideal for those who enjoy outdoor pursuits and a rural lifestyle.

The property has the benefit of a new build warranty, which is in place until 2029. There is a service charge of £25 per month for the private road which includes all maintenance to the communal areas and is managed by the residents, rather than by a management company. We have been given this information by the owners and suggest the purchaser and their solicitor checks before exchange of contracts.

Educationally, Canterbury is very well provided for offering an excellent range of primary and secondary schools in both the state and independent sectors. The King’s Junior School is a short drive away in Sturry, while the University of Kent and Canterbury Christ Church University are both within easy reach.
