Situated on the edge of this popular development in Thanington, Canterbury, this impressive four bedroom detached home offers modern family living in a quiet setting, with an attractive outlook and the added benefit of being only around 18 months old.
Built by renowned housebuilder David Wilson Homes, the property provides the advantages of a modern home, including contemporary design, energy efficiency and a layout that has been thoughtfully designed for modern family life. The property is beautifully presented throughout and offers a generous amount of accommodation arranged over two floors.
On the ground floor, the property features a spacious lounge positioned to the rear of the house, providing a separate and comfortable reception room away from the main living space. The kitchen/diner is a particularly impressive feature, stretching from the front to the rear of the property and creating a fantastic open-plan area for both everyday family life and entertaining. There is also a separate utility room, downstairs WC and a useful office space, making this an ideal home for those who work from home or require a dedicated study area.
Upstairs, there are four well proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from its own en-suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a modern family bathroom. The family bathroom is particularly well equipped, offering both a separate bath and shower.
Outside, the rear garden is a great size for a modern new build property and has been thoughtfully landscaped by the current owners. The garden features attractive porcelain tiled areas, creating a smart and low maintenance outdoor space that is ideal for entertaining, dining or relaxing during the summer months. The garden is also south facing, providing plenty of natural sunlight throughout the day.
To the front, the property benefits from a driveway providing parking for two cars. The original car port has also been upgraded with the addition of a garage door, effectively creating a secure garage and providing valuable additional storage or parking space.
Located on the edge of the development, the property enjoys a quieter position while still benefiting from the amenities and excellent access associated with Thanington. Canterbury city centre is within easy reach, making this a fantastic location for those looking for a modern family home close to the city.
Overall, this is an excellent opportunity to acquire a nearly-new David Wilson built detached family home, combining generous accommodation, a south-facing landscaped garden, excellent parking and a desirable position within the development.
