5 bed detached house for sale

Red Pippin Lane, Canterbury CT3

A substantial five-bedroom detached residence offering over 2000 sq.ft of thoughtfully configured accommodation which was built in 2018, as part of an attractive semi-rural development in the village of Preston, and just a few miles from the Cathedral city of Canterbury.

The property has an exceptionally desirable position with a south facing rear garden which feels private and peaceful with a recently extended garden patio and pergola.

Every effort has been made to ensure the property has exceptional energy efficiency with excellent levels of insulation, low energy lighting, high performance double glazing and zoned central heating.

The façade features a red brick lower level with red tile-style cladding above, crowned by a steep, dark red tiled roof. Symmetrically placed white-framed windows flank a central front door, all set behind neatly trimmed topiary hedging.

The front door opens into a spacious entrance hall with wood effect laminate flooring, complete with a cloakroom and a large storage cupboard. To the left, double-width doors reveal a generous 20-foot bay-fronted sitting room with wood burning style stove and french doors which lead directly onto the sun terrace.

At the rear of the property lies a beautiful open-plan kitchen and breakfast room, flooded with natural light. This space opens onto the sun terrace through patio doors and features an extensive range of shaker-style cabinetry with laminate worktops, a central breakfast bar peninsula, grey metro-style tiles, and bespoke shelving that enhance its aesthetic appeal. Integrated appliances include a double oven, gas fridge-freezer, and dishwasher, while a separate utility room provides additional storage and laundry space.

The ground floor also benefits from an additional dual aspect reception room currently used as a home office, which could alternatively serve as a guest bedroom.

Upstairs, a central landing leads to five generously sized bedrooms and a well-appointed family bathroom. The principal bedroom boasts an expanse of fitted wardrobes and an en-suite shower room, while the second-largest bedroom also enjoys its own en-suite.

Outside:

The south-facing rear garden spans the full width of the house and is accessible from both the dining area and sitting room. The extended terrace offers ample space for alfresco dining, enhanced by a pergola with festoon lighting that creates ambience and dappled shade. The remainder of the garden is mainly laid to lawn, with raised beds, mature hedging, and a hot tub that could be included in the sale. A pathway leads to the rear gate, providing access to the parking area and double garage.
