Substantial Four Bedroom Detached Family Home | Built in 1953 | Extended Accommodation | Garage with EV Charging | Council Tax Band E

Originally built in 1953 by the former Mayor of Canterbury, this impressive four bedroom detached residence offers generous and versatile accommodation, combining character, space and modern upgrades to create a superb long term family home.

Set behind a welcoming frontage, the property opens into a porch leading through to the main entrance hall, creating a practical space for coats and shoes before entering the home. The main living room is a bright and inviting space, enhanced by a large bay window that floods the room with natural light, creating the perfect setting for relaxing or entertaining.

The heart of the home is the substantial kitchen, installed just over one year ago, which provides a modern and stylish space with ample work surfaces and storage. Designed with family living in mind, the kitchen flows naturally through to a large dining area which forms part of the extension added approximately twenty years ago. This space is particularly impressive, offering a light and airy environment with Velux windows overhead, making it ideal for family meals, gatherings, and entertaining guests.

The ground floor accommodation is completed by a useful utility room, a downstairs WC, and internal access to the garage, which benefits from an electric door, EV charging point and an intruder alarm that’s been fitted and maintained.

Upstairs, the property offers four well proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom enjoys the added luxury of its own en suite bathroom and walk in wardrobe, creating a comfortable and private retreat. The remaining bedrooms are served by a separate family bathroom and separate WC, a layout that works particularly well for busy households.

The home has been well maintained over the years and benefits from a modern boiler installed approximately six years ago, providing peace of mind for future owners.

With its generous internal space, established history, and thoughtful improvements over time, this property presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial detached family home in Canterbury, offering flexible accommodation suited to modern family living.
