This detached Edwardian house, nestled within 1.1 acres of expansive grounds and accompanied by several outbuildings, presents a unique opportunity for those looking to invest in a transformative renovation project. With the property having remained largely untouched for 70 years, it retains a wealth of original features that could be beautifully restored. The location is conveniently close to Sturry station, making it ideal for commuters.
Inside, you will find a charming porch with terracotta tiles leading into an entrance hall featuring stained glass details. The ground floor boasts a study with characterful half-height panelling, a spacious dual aspect sitting room complete with a marble fireplace and access to the veranda, as well as a dining room with similar delightful characteristics. The kitchen offers practicality with its large pantry and adjoining breakfast area that opens into the conservatory.
The first floor accommodates four generously sized double bedrooms, all featuring fireplaces and offering dual aspect views in two rooms. Additionally, the second floor reveals attic storage spaces and potential living areas that could serve as offices or recreational rooms.
The garden showcases mature trees, shrubs, and an inviting ‘secret garden’ area enclosed by hedging. A greenhouse and multiple outbuildings provide further potential for development or conversion (subject to planning permission). Notably situated within a conservation area, this home also has historical precedence for extending its footprint – including approved plans for building a bungalow in the orchard that could be revisited or adapted.
Sturry itself offers essential amenities while being just a short distance from Canterbury's vibrant cultural scene, schools rated Outstanding by Ofsted, recreational facilities by the river Stour and Westbere Lakes. This property is poised to become not just a beautiful family home but also an investment opportunity ripe for enhancement.
