5 bedroom detached house

In the delightfully named Summer Lane in Tyler Hill lies this impressive detached residence that has been stunningly extended by the owners. The lane ends at a footpath so there is no through traffic and the property is set back from the road and approached through wide gates into a large block paved in-and-out driveway. This is flanked by an attractive border with shrubs and trees including a palm tree and leads to the double garage and the charming covered walkway and to the attractive double wood front door with oval glass insets. Crossing the threshold into the very spacious reception hall, with its Amtico tiling, you can begin to appreciate that this house is something really special. There is a large study for anyone working from home with fitted shelving, parquet flooring and views over the drive. It has a nearby cloakroom and is very usefully located as you can see people arriving and business visitors do not need to go into the private part of the house. Double doors open into the elegant sitting room that includes a delightful brick fireplace with a Bressumer beam with a large log burner and a ceiling rose. There are also double doors from the sitting room into the new extension dining area that, in turn, has a wide archway to the luxurious kitchen/breakfast room and family area. This is the ‘star of the show,' and truly has the wow factor. With 10 bi-folding doors to the terrace as well as floor to ceiling side windows and two large skylights, it is the ultimate in a light and bright family space. It has porcelain floor tiles with underfloor heating and includes a large seating area, a breakfast table space as well as a vast quartz topped central island/breakfast bar in the kitchen area with a five ring gas hob. It is surrounded by contemporary glossy white units housing a built in oven, combi microwave, coffee machine, dishwasher and large walk-in pantry with fitted shelving while a fridge freezer and laundry facilities area available in the adjacent utility room. There is a large play room with four bi-folding doors to the garden, porcelain tiles and underfloor heating as well as an en suite wet room and could make an excellent fifth bedroom.

What the Owner says:
We bought this house about 18 years ago and it was in a somewhat run down state. So it has been completely renovated from top to bottom with high end fixtures and fittings. We added the extension to provide a wonderful area where all the family can enjoy being together and have been delighted with everything that has been achieved. However we feel it is time to consider a new project although we shall be staying locally as we love the area. We are very close to the village hall where a number of activities take place as well as the recreation ground and children's playground so it is ideal for families.

Although it is very quiet and peaceful, we can walk to Kathton House at the Tylers Kiln for a delicious meal. We are also quite close to the University of Kent and only a short distance to two prominent private schools. It is only five minutes' drive to the centre of Canterbury with its historical buildings, high street stores and individual shops as well as a plethora of bars and restaurants, the Marlowe theatre, first rate state and other private schools. There are also two stations including the high speed train to St Pancras from Canterbury West that can whisk you to London in less than an hour. Alternatively we can be in Whitstable with its shops, harbour and famous oysters in 10 minutes while the nearby Gulbenkian theatre and cinema on the University campus provide additional entertainment facilities.
