4 bed detached house for sale

Wheel Barrow Town, Stelling Minnis, Canterbury, Kent CT4

With stunning views across the adjacent valley, the aptly named this property nestles in 1.17 acres of grounds on the edge of the famous Minnis and is available with no forward chain. Over the years it has been considerably extended and updated to become a beautifully presented contemporary family home.

Vehicular access and a pedestrian gate open onto a spacious gravel driveway providing off road parking. It is surrounded by an attractive front garden and leads to the detached pitched roof double garage and the front entrance. This opens into a vestibule with storage cupboards and a glass inner door to the spacious hallway with a cloakroom and additional storage.

It is a very bright house with large windows up the stairs providing plenty of natural light, while the triple aspect sitting room has wonderful countryside views and wide patio doors to the rear garden as well as a stone fireplace with a log burner.

The stunning family space continues the ‘light and bright' theme and is also triple aspect with fabulous views. It has French doors to the terrace, large living and dining areas, a contemporary kitchen and an adjacent utility room. An open archway leads to the study/family area.

The first floor galleried landing is spacious enough for a study area and has access to the attic. There is a family bathroom and four double bedrooms with amazing views, including one with an ensuite shower, a large dual aspect double with fitted cupboards and the dual aspect principal with an ensuite shower room.

A paved pathway and terraced areas wraparound the property bordering a vast lawn, part of which was originally a paddock. There is a garden shed and the double garage with access to a mezzanine level and French doors to the garden so could be converted into an annexe, subject to planning.

What the Owner says:
We bought this superb property 23 years ago as we absolutely loved the location with wonderful views in a peaceful environment yet not isolated. We have completely renovated and refurbished it to become a gorgeous family home however it is now time to downsize and we have a property ready to move into.

As well as possibly creating an annexe, if new owners have horses they could turn part of the rear garden back into a paddock and build stables. As we are on the edge of the Minnis you can ride out of our gate straight onto the Minnis.
