5 bed detached house for sale

Downs Road, Canterbury CT2

Guide price £425,000 - £450,000

Situated in a highly convenient location just a short walk from the University of Kent and approximately 20-minutes on foot from the West Station, offering high-speed rail services to London, this substantial detached home presents a rare opportunity for buyers seeking space, flexibility and excellent connectivity.

The property has been a highly successful rental investment for the current owners, configured to provide six generous double bedrooms. However, its versatile layout makes it appealing for a variety of buyers, particularly families or those seeking adaptable living arrangements with bedrooms arranged across both the ground and first floors.

The property is set back from the road and enjoys a pretty front garden and a driveway providing off-road parking. Double gates to the side allow vehicle access through to the rear where a detached garage is located, offering further parking, useful storage or an area someone could make into a dedicated workspace away from the main house.

The front door opens into a very spacious entrance hall, which sets the precedent for the rest of the property. The heart of the home is a good-sized, contemporary kitchen/diner which flows naturally into a bright living area, creating a sociable environment ideal for everyday family life or hosting guests, with two sets of French doors out to the garden. The kitchen is fitted with a range of cream-coloured units with wooden worktops and features two built-in ovens and hobs, two fridge/freezers and a washing machine.

The ground floor further benefits from three double bedrooms or reception rooms, offering excellent flexibility depending on a buyer's needs, with the double bedroom to the rear featuring a set of French doors out to the garden. You will also find two bathrooms on the ground floor adding to the practicality of the property.

Upstairs, the theme of generous and adaptable living space continues with another three bedrooms.

Outside:

The rear garden is a particular highlight, with an attractive paved terrace providing the perfect space for outdoor dining and relaxation. Steps lead up to a charming woodland area at the rear of the plot which backs onto open fields often grazed by sheep, offering a lovely natural environment for children to explore and play.

Location:

The property enjoys a convenient location close to the St. Stephen's area of Canterbury, with a well-regarded primary school close by and an excellent variety of secondary schools, with options including grammar, comprehensive and private. It would be an ideal area for academics who work at the University of Kent as the campus is a short walk away. For those who commute to London by train, the West Station is a 20-minute walk away and the charming coastal town of Whitstable is a short drive away, perfect for beach days during the summer months.

There is a large Sainsbury's supermarket close by and two excellent leisure centres, offering state of the art gyms and large swimming pools. There is a bus stop close by, with the area served by a regular bus service into the City Centre making it convenient for families with teenagers who want their own independence.
