About this home

This property comes complete with all furniture, fixtures and fittings, ready for immediate occupation upon completion of purchase.

Riverside properties in Canterbury rarely become available and this beautiful traditional immaculate home is in one of Canterbury's most sought after locations in the heart of the old City

Set right on the river overlooking the lovely 'Solly's Orchard' from the rear, with fabulous views of Canterbury Cathedral from the front, it is offered chain free!

Believed to have originally been built by the British army at the time of the Napoleonic War as ‘temporary accommodation for non commissioned officers’ Dragonfly Cottage still stands proudly 200 years later!

Recently fully renovated and refurbished it’s now a beautiful home with ‘all mod cons’, featuring a centrally heated relaxed open plan living space including a large conservatory at the rear that can be used as part of the house all year round, and - due to it's full width bi-fold doors - part of the river side terrace garden in the summer!

The expansive fitted kitchen opens on to both the dining room and the conservatory/terrace so is fabulous for entertaining.

Upstairs there are two spacious double bedrooms which have plenty of room for King sized beds, as well as a third bedroom.

There are separate newly refurbished bathrooms and shower rooms on the first floor, and a third WC/cloakroom downstairs.

The City of Canterbury itself offers a wide range of shopping facilities, restaurants and entertainment including the popular Marlowe Theatre. Dragonfly Cottage is perfectly placed to enjoy all that the City Centre offers, with a short stroll taking you into the High Street with it's abundance of amenities and restaurants. There are plenty of sports facilities, schools and Grammar schools within the locality. Canterbury West station is just a short walk away, with it's High-Speed link taking you to St Pancras in as little as 50 minutes. There are also excellent road networks, with the A2 giving access to the Continent and the M2 to London and the airports.
