A beautifully presented three/four-bedroom chalet-style home situated in the sought-after village of Rough Common, on the outskirts of Canterbury. Offering just under 1600 sq. Ft of well-appointed accommodation, the property has been thoughtfully extended and improved to create a wonderfully spacious and versatile home, with generous living areas, a delightful rear garden and plenty of room for both family life and entertaining.
Stepping inside, a welcoming entrance hallway leads through to the main living accommodation. The sitting room is a particularly lovely space, with large windows allowing plenty of natural light to fill the room, a contemporary feature fireplace and ample room for comfortable seating. The room extends into a further reception area with French doors opening onto the patio and providing a lovely outlook over the rear garden. This would be a great place for a home office set up or to just curl up with a good book whilst enjoying the views out to the garden.
The beautifully appointed kitchen has been thoughtfully designed, combining elegant contemporary cabinetry with integrated appliances and a generous central island, complete with breakfast bar seating. The layout is both practical and inviting, with a natural flow through to the adjoining dining room, where there is ample space for a large table and chairs. French doors open directly onto the garden, filling the room with natural light and creating a lovely setting for everything from relaxed family meals to evenings spent entertaining friends. In the warmer months, the dining area opens effortlessly onto the terrace, making the most of the connection between the house and garden.
A separate utility room provides additional storage and laundry facilities and gives you access to a WC and direct access into the garage.
Also on the ground floor is a versatile snug or home office, providing a quieter space away from the main living areas. Whether used as a cosy television room, a dedicated place to work from home or somewhere for children to enjoy, this additional reception room is a great feature of the property. It also benefits from its own entrance so would work well for those running a business from home.
The ground floor also benefits from a generously proportioned double bedroom with fitted wardrobes, making the property particularly appealing to those looking for the option of single-storey living. A luxurious family bathroom serves this floor, complete with a bath, separate shower enclosure, WC and wash basin.
Upstairs, there are two further double bedrooms, with one featuring a good amount of fitted storage and wardrobe space. These rooms are served by an additional bathroom. The space throughout the property has been thoughtfully utilised, with even the generous landing providing a dedicated study area, ideal for those working from home.
Outside:
Outside, you will find a delightful rear garden. Beautifully established with mature shrubs, colourful planting and a central lawn, it offers a lovely degree of privacy and has been thoughtfully arranged to provide different areas in which to relax and entertain. A generous paved terrace runs along the rear of the house, with plenty of space for outdoor furniture, whilst a timber pergola creates a charming alfresco dining area, surrounded by climbing plants and established greenery.
There is a wonderful timber garden cabin which provides a lovely little retreat away from the main house and could equally lend itself to a hobby room or creative space.
There are two further sheds providing storage and a gate provides side access.
To the front, a generous driveway provides off-road parking for several vehicles and leads to an attached garage, and there is a neatly maintained and established front garden adding to the property's kerb appeal. There is also an EV charger next to the garage.
Location:
Rough Common is a highly regarded village on the western outskirts of Canterbury, offering a wonderful balance of village life, beautiful countryside and easy access to the city. The village has a friendly, established community and a lovely sense of belonging, making it particularly appealing to those looking to settle somewhere for the longer term.
There is a real community feel to the area, with local groups, activities and opportunities to get involved in whilst the surrounding countryside provides plenty of opportunities for walking and enjoying the outdoors. The nearby Blean Woods are particularly popular, with miles of beautiful woodland trails to explore throughout the seasons.
Excellent schooling is a major draw, with Blean Primary School (Ofsted Outstanding) close by, along with Kent College Junior and Senior Schools. The city itself is just a short distance away and offers an excellent choice of independent shops, cafés, restaurants, cultural attractions and healthcare facilities, along with a variety of clubs and social activities.
For those who enjoy exploring further afield or needing to commute into the capital, Canterbury West railway station provides high-speed services to London St Pancras, whilst the nearby A2 offers excellent road connections towards London, the M2 and the Kent coast.
