About this home
*** Guide Price £850,000 - £900,000 ***
Miles & Barr are delighted to present this exceptional four bedroom detached family home, ideally situated on the highly desirable St. Augustine's Road, one of Canterbury's most prestigious residential addresses. Occupying a generous plot set back from the road, this beautifully maintained home offers spacious and versatile accommodation, an impressive landscaped garden complete with a fully insulated garden office, and exciting potential to extend further, with extension plans already in place.
Originally built in 1949/50, the property has been extensively improved by the current owners over the last four years, creating a home that seamlessly blends character with modern comforts. Significant upgrades include a new gas boiler installed in 2023, complete with updated plumbing and serviced annually, an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR), an EV charging point, newly fitted double glazed windows to the rear and side elevations, refurbished front windows, stylish new bathrooms, fresh decoration throughout and new carpets, ensuring the property is ready for its next owners to move straight into.
The welcoming entrance hallway provides access to the generous ground floor accommodation. The standout feature is the superb principal reception room, stretching from the front of the property right through to the rear, creating a wonderfully bright and spacious living area ideal for both everyday family life and entertaining. In addition, there are two further reception rooms, offering fantastic flexibility. One is currently arranged as a formal dining room, while the third could equally serve as a family room, snug, children's playroom or home library depending on your requirements.
The kitchen enjoys views over the rear garden and is complemented by a separate utility room, providing additional storage and practical workspace. A convenient cloakroom houses the modern gas boiler, completing the ground floor accommodation.
Upstairs, the property offers three generous double bedrooms alongside a fourth bedroom, ideal as a child's bedroom, nursery or home office. The family bathroom has been tastefully updated and is complemented by a separate WC, providing added convenience for busy households.
Externally, the property is equally impressive. To the front, a large driveway provides ample off road parking for several vehicles and leads to the tandem garage, while the home is attractively set back from the road, creating an excellent sense of privacy and kerb appeal.
The rear garden has been completely transformed through professional landscaping, creating a wonderful outdoor space for families and entertaining alike. One of the standout additions is the superb detached cabin, which has been fully insulated and fitted with double glazed windows, making it an ideal home office, studio, gym or hobby room, offering valuable additional living space all year round.
For buyers looking to add further value, the property also benefits from a first floor extension plan, presenting an exciting opportunity to create an even larger family home, subject to the necessary consents.
St. Augustine's Road is widely regarded as one of Canterbury's premier residential locations, offering the perfect balance of peaceful surroundings and convenience. Canterbury city centre, with its wealth of independent shops, restaurants, cafés and historic attractions, is within easy reach, while excellent schools, transport links and leisure facilities are all close by, making this an outstanding location for families and professionals alike.
