Tucked away along a peaceful street in the very heart of Canterbury, this charming two-bedroom period cottage offers a wonderful opportunity to enjoy city living at its best. Just moments from the vibrant King's Mile neighbourhood, with its eclectic mix of independent boutiques, artisan coffee shops, patisseries and restaurants, the property is perfectly positioned for those who love having everything on their doorstep, whilst enjoying the character and quieter surroundings of one of the city's historic streets.
Forming part of an attractive terrace of traditional red-brick cottages, the house is full of charm, with sash-style windows, exposed wooden floorboards, original-style fireplaces and lovely period details throughout. The accommodation is arranged over two floors and has a welcoming feel and a practical layout.
The front door opens into a cosy sitting room, where an attractive cast-iron fireplace provides a lovely focal point, flanked by fitted cupboards offering useful storage. The exposed wooden floorboards add warmth and character, whilst the sash-style window looks out across the street towards the handsome period buildings opposite. To the rear is a delightful kitchen/breakfast room, fitted with navy-blue cabinetry, wooden worktops, a Belfast-style sink and an integrated oven and hob. There is room for a small breakfast table, making this a lovely space to enjoy a morning coffee before heading out into the city.
Upstairs are two bedrooms, both enjoying particularly lovely outlooks. The principal bedroom overlooks the attractive period properties across the street, with a leafy outlook towards the secluded green space across the road. The second bedroom, to the rear, enjoys a rather special view across the rooftops towards the magnificent Cathedral, providing a wonderful reminder of just how extraordinary this location is. Conveniently positioned between the two bedrooms is a Jack and Jill shower room, with direct access from both rooms, fitted with a modern suite and attractive metro-style tiling.
Outside, the property benefits from its own enclosed courtyard garden, providing a private little spot to sit outside with a coffee, enjoy a glass of wine or relax in the warmer months. Being paved throughout, it is also wonderfully low-maintenance.
One benefit of living on King Street is the use of a secluded residents' garden, a lovely green oasis tucked away amongst the historic buildings. With mature trees, lawns and established planting, it offers a peaceful escape from the bustle of the city, somewhere to take a book on a sunny afternoon, enjoy a picnic or simply sit and unwind.
Location:
The lifestyle on offer here is undoubtedly one of the property's greatest attractions. The King's Mile is just around the corner, with its independent shops, tempting bakeries and welcoming cafés, whilst Canterbury's bustling high street, Cathedral Quarter, theatres, restaurants and cultural attractions are all within easy walking distance. Whether it's popping out for fresh pastries on a Sunday morning, meeting friends for dinner or enjoying an evening at the theatre, so much of what makes Canterbury such a wonderful place to live is right on your doorstep.
For those needing to travel further afield, Canterbury West railway station is also within walking distance, providing high-speed services to London St Pancras, making the property an appealing choice for commuters.
