" A delightful and unique, grade two listed cottage located in the heart of buzzy and vibrant St. Dunstan`s. Bursting with character, this wonderful home embodies the City`s charm and spirit and is ideal for those wanting to be close to the High Street, fantastic restaurants, and the West Station.

The property is thought to date back to the 18th century and displays some wonderful period features, such as wooden beams, but is presented in a fresh and contemporary way. The front door opens into the sitting room which features exposed wooden beams and has an attractive brick fireplace, with a log burner, which is the focal point of the room. A doorway then leads through to the dining area, which in turn leads to the kitchen at the rear of the house. The kitchen is compact but there is still ample space for storage, with contemporary wall and base units and a smart wood-effect worktop. There is an integrated oven with a gas hob and modern extractor, as well as space for a washing machine and slim-line dishwasher. There is more worktop space along the wall of the dining area, and this is where you will find an integrated fridge and freezer. The lack of doors between the rooms, helps the ground floor to flow effortlessly and helps create a feeling of space.

Stairs rise from the sitting room to the first floor which opens into a reception room. This is an incredibly useful room, which the current owner uses as an office and there is a pull-out sofa bed for when guests stay. There is a large storage cupboard, and a door opens into the bathroom. The bathroom is neutrally decorated and has a bath with a shower over, WC and sink. Stairs rise again to the top floor, where you will find the bedroom. This is charming room with exposed ceiling beams, but there is restricted head height due to the sloping ceilings. There is space for a wardrobe and chest of drawers.

OUTSIDE:

Outside, steps lead up to a delightful rear garden. The garden is perfect for those wanting a low-maintenance space to relax and enjoy the sunshine, and great for alfresco dining. It is paved, so all you will need is some bright potted plants to bring it to life! There is a gate providing rear access.

PARKING:

There is no allocated parking with the property however, there is on-street parking on roads close by. Residents will need to get a permit from the council, and depending on zone, will cost approximately ?65 per year.

LOCATION:

This unique home is located in the heart of St. Dunstan`s, a desirable neighbourhood with a buzzy atmosphere, brimming with restaurants, quaint pubs and coffee shops. The West Station is an 8-minute walk away and from here, you will be able to hop on the high speed which gets you into London within the hour. The famous Goods Shed is just next to the station, where you can browse fresh, local produce including delectable cheeses, meats and wines and grab a bite to eat at one of their eateries.

Home to the stunning Westgate Gardens, St. Dunstan`s also has a quieter and peaceful side and you could spend hours` getting lost in a good book on one of its many benches, feeding the ducks on the River Stour and watching the river punts slowly drift by.

With all of Canterbury`s treasured landmarks, including the stunning Cathedral and Marlowe Theatre, within walking distance to the property, we believe that this would also make a lucrative holiday let investment.
