4 bedroom detached house for sale

St. Augustine’s Road is one of Canterbury’s most sought-after residential areas, just off the New Dover Road, within half a mile of the City shopping centre. The neighbouring properties within this conservation area are mainly established older style large properties. The house is conveniently placed for a wide range of amenities including Simon Langton Boys’ and Girls’ Grammar Schools, King's School, St. Lawrence County Cricket Ground, Kent & Canterbury Hospital and many other attractions.

This fine family home benefits from a two-storey extension which was completed in December 2004, and the current owners have since extended downstairs and also replaced the kitchen and this is a spacious well-appointed property just perfect for a family home.

Set back from the road there is plenty of parking in front of the property and a large side gate for plenty of access space.

As you enter into the property there is a porch area which is a great place to link outdoors with inside, to take off the coats and shoes, then enter into the spacious hallway.

From the moment you walk through the porch into the large entrance hall you can feel the warm atmosphere, and this continues as you go through into the bright kitchen/breakfast room with its modern units, including a dish washer and integrated oven and hob. This is the real hub of the household with plenty of sociable space to enjoy cooking, eating or just relaxing. The doors leading to the garden can further enhance the area for entertaining, and the addition of the lantern skylight with pitched roof and glass sides makes this a light and cheerful area, and a log burner makes a great addition for cosy casual evenings.

There is a very elegant and spacious living area, with windows to the front and double doors to the garden and wooden flooring.

There is an additional reception room which would make a formal dining room, extra sitting room, or large office, again with wooden flooring and windows to the front and back.

In addition there is a downstairs WC and a utility room.

The staircase leads upstairs where you will find four double bedrooms, two in the original part of the house have the decorative fireplaces. The main bedroom has an ensuite bathroom with bath and shower over, and there is a family bathroom, again with a bath and a shower over.

Outside there is a good sized easy to maintain secluded and enclosed rear garden with a large patio area and mainly laid to lawn with some mature shrubs. There is a large workshop with electricity and light. The side area has a BBQ and small patio area. The current owners were due to put planning in for a garden room/office and the corresponding water and electric are already available for this. There is also hot and cold water by the BBQ area and the Vendor has installed solar tubes which supplies their hot water

The Kent and Canterbury hospital is within walking distance of the property.
