*** Guide Price £500,000 - £550,000 ***
This beautifully presented four bedroom townhouse offers spacious and versatile accommodation arranged across three floors, ideally positioned within walking distance of Canterbury city centre and Canterbury West railway station and located within a quiet cul-de-sac. The property provides approximately 1,733 sq ft of accommodation, including the communal areas such as hallways and landings.
The property is presented in good condition throughout and provides an excellent layout for modern family living. On the ground floor, the entrance hall leads through to a well-proportioned kitchen and dining area, creating a sociable space for everyday life and entertaining.
Beyond this is a bright garden room, providing additional living space and a pleasant connection to the courtyard garden. The garden room has also benefited from a replacement roof, while the property further offers a ground-floor WC and access to the integral garage. The previous owner carried out internal alterations downstairs to open up the space and add a Garden Room which leads from the kitchen and adds space and light to the downstairs creating a second living room /tv room.
The first floor provides a spacious lounge, offering a comfortable and separate reception room, along with the principal bedroom and a family bathroom. The layout provides excellent flexibility, with the separation of the living and sleeping accommodation making the property particularly well suited to families.
On the top floor are three further bedrooms, together with a second bathroom, meaning the home offers four bedrooms and two bathrooms in total. The bedrooms could easily accommodate a growing family, guests or those requiring space to work from home.
Externally, there is a small, low maintenance courtyard garden to the rear, providing an enjoyable private outdoor space. A rear gate also gives access to the large communal lawned gardens, which are regularly maintained and offer an attractive additional outdoor area to enjoy.
To the front, there is a driveway providing off street parking for two vehicles, alongside the integral garage, which offers further parking, storage or potential for alternative use, subject to any necessary permissions.
Further benefits include a boiler that was replaced four years ago, providing added peace of mind for the next owners.
The property benefits from conveniently being ½ a mile walk of Canterbury West Station, as well as the vibrant St Dunstan’s area, offering a wide range of pubs, restaurants and nightlife. The popular Goods Shed food market is also conveniently located nearby.
Properties in this quiet Close with parking are rarely available and the owner is the second owner since it was built.
