A substantial five bedroom, detached family home with a double garage, offering over 2,100 sq. ft of well appointed, highly versatile accommodation. This wonderful family home enjoys an incredibly peaceful and private position, situated in the highly desirable St. Stephen s area of Canterbury. The area is very quiet, and you often forget that you are so close to the City Centre, waking up to bird song in the morning. It is a friendly neighbourhood, with many respectful, longstanding neighbours.

Its location is ideal for those wanting to be close to the City Centre and amenities, and the West Station is a short 15 minute walk, or 5 minute cycle from the property. The situation is perfect for families with older children, who will have the freedom to make their own way to school and walk into the City Centre. It is close to excellent schools, including St. Stephen s Junior School and Kings School, and you have excellent leisure facilities close by including the King s Recreation Centre. There is also a bus stop very close by with direct buses to both Langton Grammar Schools.

The property is very attractive from the front, with a fa ade of brick and hung tiles. It is nestled in the corner of a cul de sac, with plenty of privacy and has a large driveway offering off road parking for several vehicles and double garage. The current owners have previously explored renovating and reconfiguring the property and commissioned two sets of architectural plans, which they are happy to share with prospective buyers. One of the detailed designs was to convert part of the house and the garage into a self contained annexe, with its own private entrance and garden areas, ideal for rental income or multi generational living.

The front door opens into a useful porch, before opening into a spacious entrance hall. The ground floor offers spacious living accommodation, with plenty of space to come together as a family. There is a large, double aspect living room which runs the depth of the house and has a lovely bay window to the front and a log burner. Bifold doors then open into a delightful sunroom, which is a wonderful extension of the living area, offering more space to entertain friends and family, or for children to play. A set of double doors from the living area connect the dining room, which also has a set of glass double doors with an attractive, curved, wooden frame. The layout just flows beautifully, and the amount of glass allows for plenty of bright, natural light to flood into the living spaces. There is a good sized, double aspect, kitchen breakfast room with patio doors out to the side garden. Architectural drawings have also been done to re configure this part of the property, opening up the kitchen and dining rooms to create a large kitchen family room with bifolds out to the garden. The kitchen is further complimented by a utility room, with a sink and plenty of additional storage and a door from this room leads into the double garage. Also on the ground floor, you will find a modern shower room and WC, and an office hobby room.

Upstairs, there are five well proportioned bedrooms and two bathrooms. The primary bedroom is very spacious, with a bay window to the front and built in wardrobes. It also features a modern en suite bathroom with a shower. There are three further double bedrooms, so plenty of space for a growing family. The bedrooms to the rear are flooded with sunshine and one of the double bedrooms is double aspect, with a set of French doors opening to a Juliette balcony and another set to the side opening to a wonderful balcony to the side of the property. This could easily be transformed into a more usable space and enjoys lots of privacy, perfect for relaxing with a book or hanging out with friends. There is plenty of storage available, with three of the bedrooms having built in wardrobes and there is also a large loft space, accessible by a hatch on the landing. There is a good sized family bathroom which has a bath and shower over.

A fantastic addition to the property has been the newly installed, high spec solar energy system. This includes 18 Longi solar panels 7.2kW, a 6 kW AC 8kW DC Solaris hybrid converter with WiFi connectivity and a substantial 10.5kW Pylon battery storage system. This setup not only enhances energy efficiency but also offers significant long term savings on utility costs.

OUTSIDE

Externally, the property has a lovely rear garden which is laid to lawn with plenty of attractive, mature shrubs and trees bordering ensuring maximum privacy. The garden wraps around the side of the property and underneath the balcony of the third bedroom. This space in itself is quite large and the current owners have a trampoline there. A side gate takes you round to another garden area, which is to the front of the garage. This is a lovely, private shingled garden with mature shrubs. If the garage were to be made into a self contained annexe, this would be the annexe s private garden.

Overall, this is a wonderful family home which needs to be viewed internally to fully appreciate the space on offer and tranquillity of the location
