A Beautifully Renovated Semi Detached Home in a Prime Canterbury Location

Positioned within a highly desirable conservation area and just a short walk from Canterbury city centre, this impressive semi detached family home has been thoughtfully renovated by the current owners to create a stylish, practical and character-filled property ideally suited to modern living.

The home sits attractively behind a newly landscaped front garden, featuring fresh planting, new steps and a redesigned pathway that immediately enhances its kerb appeal. You are welcomed to the property by the porch which benefits from a newly installed front door that then opens into a tiled entrance hallway, setting the tone for the quality and attention to detail found throughout.

The ground floor offers superb open plan living, with solid oak flooring running seamlessly through the lounge, dining area and kitchen. A glass partition subtly separates the living and dining spaces while retaining a wonderful sense of flow and light. The ground floor accommodation also benefits from a downstairs cloakroom.

To the rear, the contemporary kitchen has been enhanced with new quartz worktops and features a Smeg range cooker, approximately two years old, which is included in the sale. This space opens directly onto the garden, making it ideal for entertaining and day-to-day family life.

Upstairs, the property offers two well proportioned bedrooms, both of which can include fitted wardrobes if required, a single bedroom which is currently being used as a home office, along with a stylish family bathroom. The loft has been fully boarded, with new sheeting, hatch and ladder installed to provide clean, accessible and highly usable storage space.

Externally, the rear garden has been transformed with a newly laid patio, pergola with two enclosed sides (to remain), outdoor tap, new fencing and a back gate leading to a private rear lane. Parking is a real advantage, being a rare benefit for this location, with two off street spaces and a garage located to the rear, all accessed conveniently through the garden.

Additional improvements include restored and repainted conservation windows to the front and side, full external redecoration to the front elevation, roof repairs, a new combi boiler under warranty, Hive heating system, and fibre-optic internet installed directly to the property, ideal for those working from home.

The location is exceptional, just two minutes from Sainsbury’s Local and a popular coffee shop at the nearby cricket ground, with excellent bus links, easy road access and a pleasant walk into Canterbury city centre.
