About this home
Approached via a sweeping driveway, this exceptional detached family home occupies a private 1.25-acre plot, surrounded by mature trees that create a peaceful and secluded setting. Believed to date from the 1980s, the timber-framed property offers generous accommodation ideally suited to modern family life.
A welcoming entrance hall leads to a range of elegant reception rooms. The impressive triple-aspect drawing room features a log-burning stove set within a brick inglenook fireplace, while the double-aspect dining room provides an ideal space for entertaining with attractive garden views.
The Neptune kitchen/breakfast room forms the heart of the home, fitted with three ovens, integrated appliances and underfloor heating, and is complemented by a utility room. A cosy sitting room, substantial study with bespoke fitted furniture and two cloakrooms complete the ground floor.
Upstairs, a spacious landing leads to six bedrooms. The principal suite enjoys dual-aspect views and an en-suite bathroom, while two further bedrooms also benefit from en-suite facilities. The remaining bedrooms are served by a stylish family shower room.
Outside, beautifully landscaped wrap-around gardens provide extensive lawns, mature planting and excellent privacy. An elevated terrace offers a wonderful space for outdoor dining and entertaining.
A particular highlight is the recently re-lined heated outdoor swimming pool with an electric retractable cover, alongside a luxurious hot tub. The current owners have also added a bar and games room annexe, creating an ideal space for socialising and entertaining.
A detached triple garage and extensive parking complete the property.
Combining privacy, leisure facilities and excellent entertaining space, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial family home in one of Canterbury's most desirable semi-rural locations. What the Owner says: One of the greatest attractions of this home has been its ability to feel private and rural while remaining just 1.5 miles from Canterbury city centre. Surrounded by mature trees on Nackington Road, it enjoys a peaceful setting with green views and abundant wildlife, yet has easy access to the city's shops, restaurants and amenities.
Situated beside Canterbury Rugby Club, the property benefits from a strong community feel, while mature hedging ensures excellent privacy around the gardens, pool, hot tub and patio areas.
The location is ideal for families, with highly regarded schools nearby including the Simon Langton Grammar Schools, The King's School, Kent College and St Edmund's. Hospitals, GP services, railway stations and High Speed rail links to London are also easily accessible.
Despite its convenience, the property retains a genuine countryside atmosphere. The mature gardens attract a variety of wildlife, and the home works beautifully throughout the seasons. Summer centres around the pool, patio and garden entertaining spaces, while the drawing room with its inglenook fireplace and wood burner provides a cosy winter retreat.
With Canterbury's restaurants, pubs and supermarkets just minutes away, this is a home that perfectly balances convenience, privacy and lifestyle.
