The property is very well presented throughout and must be viewed to appreciate the extensive living accommodation on offer. Ideal for families and those that work from home, the layout is versatile and is configured in such a way so as to have the potential of part of the ground floor to be used as an annex. Upon entering the property a welcoming and bright hallway leads through to the substantial lounge and, in turn, the dining room with the most glorious views overlooking the rear garden, patio area and pond. The lounge features a charming bay window to front and a cosy log burning fireplace, while the dining room opens onto the beautiful rear garden via French doors, creating an ideal space for entertaining. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the extended part of the home, where is found a utility room, downstairs shower room and an additional reception/garden room which could be used as an additional bedroom. Upstairs, three well-proportioned bedrooms occupy the original part of the home and are complemented by a generous landing that leads to two further double bedrooms. A family bathroom and an additional shower room complete the first floor. The front bedrooms enjoy the most magnificent, uninterrupted views across Canterbury and towards the iconic Cathedral, making this a truly unique home. Outside, the most exquisite gardens boasts a wide variety of plants, shrubs and mature trees providing an abundance of colour and all year round interest. A quaint pond and patio area creates a wonderful social area and a path leads to the top of the garden with the most spectacular views. The property has double glazing throughout, gas fired central heating and a driveway to the front for two cars in addition to an extra width integrated garage.
