Summer Hill, Harbledown, Canterbury CT2

***Guide Price £450,000 - £475,000***

This immaculately presented three-bedroom semi-detached residence was constructed approximately fifteen years ago in a Georgian style, designed to blend sympathetically with the surrounding period properties in this conservation area. It is located in a very quiet, tucked away enclave of just four properties. This well-insulated home is filled with natural light and offers well-proportioned accommodation with neutral décor and is in a condition ready to move into.

The ground floor comprises a welcoming entrance hall, a cloakroom WC, and a spacious living room with a high ceiling, inset log-effect gas fire, understairs storage, and French doors opening into an a pleasant double-glazed conservatory. The kitchen is of generous size and is fitted with a range of integrated appliances (Neff/Bosch), including a fridge/freezer, oven, hob, slimline dishwasher, and washer/drier. The kitchen also has French doors to the conservatory. A new Vaillant boiler was installed in 2024. There is underfloor heating throughout the ground floor including the conservatory.

To the first floor, the landing provides additional built-in storage and access to two double bedrooms (one of which is currently used as an upstairs sitting room/study), a further single bedroom, and a modern shower room with underfloor heating. The two rear bedrooms are not directly overlooked. There is also an attic with ample storage space.

Externally, the part-walled rear garden is attractively landscaped and well established, offering a low-maintenance outdoor space with a large patio area, raised beds, and gravel pathways. There is also a substantial shed with power. To the front of the property are two driveway parking spaces, complemented by an additional garden area of mature flower, shrub and tree borders. The beautiful rose bushes are a particular feature of the garden.

The property is situated in the popular historic village of Harbledown on the outskirts of Canterbury. While still maintaining its village atmosphere, Harbledown is within easy walking distance of Canterbury city centre and Canterbury West railway station. There is also a frequent bus service to the city centre.

Walk in the opposite direction and you can enjoy strolls in the beautiful orchards and woods that border the village, with the North Downs and Blean Woods just on your doorstep. The attractiveness of this property’s location, offering both the advantages of village and city living, cannot be overemphasized!
