4 bedroom detached house

This fantastic property is a one off, and is a beautiful example of how Victorian meets contemporary. The older part of the property has the comfort and original character of a bygone age, which has seamlessly been merged into the new by the clever use of a glass and steel bridge, offering a mass of light and space over the three floors, which can only fully be appreciated whilst in the property

Stylishly finished throughout, there is space and lots of it. Enhanced by mezzanine areas looking over the floors below and a beautiful, translucent daylighting system which reflects light into the home throughout the day, and at night gives it a comforting glow. All floors are reached from curved staircases which spiral upwards and cleverly connect each area.

Admire the delightful architecture from the kerb, where you will also see there is off road parking to the front, and a garage and a pathway to the front door.

Walk inside and you are immediately amazed by the double height ceiling and architectural design which gives you the first glimpse of the space beyond. From this central space is the sitting room overlooking the garden with a large bay window, a floor to ceiling window and fitted shelving. From this hallway go down a couple of steps to the lower hallway, which leads to the garden and a handy utility area.

Go up the first curved stair case and you will find yourself in the main Atrium, overlooking the floor below and where that clever bridge merges the two ages. On one side is the dining area, with plenty of room for a large dining table and with a small balcony through French doors to open and let the air come in and admire the pretty pot plants outside. This in turn leads to the Kitchen area, presented in a curved design to take off any hard edges with light coming through the large window overlooking the street below. There are plenty of storage cupboards, and integrated Neff appliances, including two ovens, dishwasher, larder fridge and freezer. Worktops are made from granite and Kardean flooring makes this an easy to keep clean area.

Go across the bridge and access the generous sized bedrooms, with full sized windows and fitted wardrobes, one with a separate bathroom and the other with a luxurious tiled ensuite with vanity storage.

Upstairs is the main bedroom, hidden away on the top floor, it is an 'away from it all' sanctuary. It benefits from a full length window and door leading to an outside balcony area. In this main area, at the foot of the stairs, is a separate dressing area with fitted wardrobes and a shoe cupboard.
The main bathroom has a Castello luxury bath and separate shower.

Outside there is a private and fully enclosed garden, bordered by a host of evergreen shrubs, plants and trees, with a patio and lawned area, with a sculptured wall and bird bath. Silver birch trees, palms and traditional shrubs make this a lovely private haven so close to the City. The garden was designed by Justin Greer Garden Design in Wimbledon.

There is access to a large basement area, which has been tanked and currently used as an office, and would make a great wine cellar and additional storage if required.

This property is in a fantastic location for all that Canterbury has to offer within walking distance to the mainline station where trains on the high speed train take just over the hour. Within a few minutes’ walk is the popular Goods Shed farmers market and restaurant and a Sainsburys local, the City Centre and Marlowe Theatre. The main High Street is within walking distance where there are an array of shops, restaurants and The Cathedral

There are convenient road links with easy access to the A2/M2 corridor. Nearby are some of the best primary and public schools, Kent College and University of Kent, as well as some of the best of the City’s parks and outdoor spaces.
