Nestling in 0.933 of an acre of grounds in the midst of Old Park it is difficult to believe this period farmhouse is only a five minute drive from Canterbury city centre. It dates from the 16th century but was extended in the Georgian and Victorian eras and has wonderful features including high coved ceilings, fireplaces, white painted floorboards, exposed beams, multi-pane sash windows and original shutters but has been sensitively updated to provide for modern day living.

It is approached along a private road leading to a driveway where you can park numerous vehicles. There is a double carport and a large ‘cabin' with lighting and electrics as well as a separate brick building. The hall is partially open to a galleried landing with a large skylight and leads to the dual aspect sitting room and a study. Glazed doors open into the kitchen/breakfast room with underfloor heating, a Smeg range cooker and fridge as well as units with quartz worktops and a central island. There are doors to the dining room with its exposed beams, fireplace, French doors to the garden and doors to the drawing room. This floor also includes a bathroom, utility room and a lobby, while the basement has an entertainment room/gym, a wine cellar and cellar store.

Off the galleried landing is a superb family bathroom as well as five double bedrooms, a large dressing room/bedroom 6 and access to the boarded attic. Two of the bedrooms share a Jack and Jill shower room. The garden is laid to lawn surrounded by mature trees and shrubs and includes a bespoke pergola and a secluded barbecue area.

What the Owner says:
We decided to buy the house even before we walked inside as the location is so wonderful. It is quiet, secluded and private and we only have to open our back gate to be straight into the woodland but we can also be in Canterbury city centre within a few minutes. We thought it would be our ‘forever' home and spent a year renovating it with that in mind. However we have decided to move abroad and hope that new owners will enjoy everything about this lovely family home.
Canterbury is a wonderful city with historic buildings, high street stores, independent shops, restaurants, bars, two theatres and two stations. There are also excellent grammar and private schools, three universities and a further education college as well as plenty of opportunities for sporting enthusiasts.

Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on July 14, 2023

Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on July 14, 2023

Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services

Energy Performance data and Internal floor area: obtained on August 2, 2018 from The Energy Performance of Buildings (Certificates and Inspections) (England and Wales) Regulations 2007 or the Home Report if in relation to a residential property in Scotland.
