Description

This charming semi-detached house from the 1930s presents a unique opportunity for renovation in a sought-after and tranquil cul-de-sac in South Canterbury. With no onward chain, this property is ideally located close to notable educational institutions such as Langton Grammar Schools and St. Anselm's Catholic School, making it particularly appealing to families and medical professionals due to its proximity to Kent & Canterbury Hospital and Chaucer Hospital.<br><br>The welcoming entrance hall features hardwood flooring that extends through much of the ground floor. The sunlit sitting room exudes character with its bay window and open fireplace—an inviting space for relaxation. Adjacent to this is a dining room complete with another feature fireplace and French doors leading into a versatile garden room.<br><br>The kitchen, embodying a rustic charm, includes wooden cabinets, an integrated oven with electric hob, and space for essential appliances, though it may benefit from an open-plan redesign that merges it with the dining area for a more modern layout. Future owners might also consider extending at the rear to create additional living space—an option previously contemplated by the current owner. The internal door leading from the kitchen into the garage further enhances functionality.<br><br>Upstairs houses three bedrooms, with two generously-sized doubles, along with a family bathroom equipped with both a bath and shower. The main bedroom boasts a lovely bay window that allows natural light to flood in.<br><br>The generous rear garden offers an excellent canvas for personalisation, whether aspiring gardeners wish to cultivate their own plants or those looking to create an entertainment area for gatherings. This private outdoor space benefits from seclusion due to nearby structures.<br><br>Located on Canterbury's desirable south side, this home maintains quick access to city amenities while benefiting from a peaceful residential atmosphere complemented by nearby countryside explorations. Commuters will appreciate easy routes onto the A2 as well as access to two mainline train stations offering services towards London.
