6 bedroom detached house

Built in 1919 and preceding much of the post-war development to the north of Canterbury, this detached Edwardian property had choice pick of location, and still maintains some Cathedral views as well as significant privacy. Set back from the road and screened by well-established trees, there's little to giveaway the existence of this large family home. It is nonetheless an imposing stamp of a property, with a distinctively bold and purposeful style that is so typical of the period. A very practical layout extends to over 2,000 square feet, with high ceilings and large windows accentuating the feeling of space within the already generous rooms. The home also retains many of the original features, including an electrical servant bell system. The balance between bedroom space and living accommodation is endlessly flexible, depending upon whether there's greater need for six bedrooms or perhaps a home office/studio. On the ground floor there is a large, open plan living and dining room, a kitchen/breakfast room with pantry and adjoining utility room, seperate family room and a cloakroom. To the first floor lie four bedrooms and a family bathroom, whilst a more recent loft conversion adds a further two bedrooms and bathroom on the second floor. The south-facing gardens lie to the front of the property but remain secluded and private. Abundant with wildlife, areas of lawn are interspersed with mature trees and shrubs and bordered by planted beds. A terrace adjoins the property and provides a pleasant seating area and southerly aspect. A double garage and hardstanding gives off-street parking for four vehicles. This part of Canterbury is hugely popular as you can walk to the high-speed rail link, with a journey time to London of less than one hour, and it also benefits from easy access to the A2/M2 corridor between London and Dover. Moreover, one of the most important considerations for families is schooling, and North Canterbury plays host to the best primary schools, such as Blean and St Peter's, in addition to several public schools. Viewing of this stunning period home is highly recommended.
