St. Augustines Road, Canterbury, Kent, CT1

This charming family home, located on one of Canterbury’s most prestigious roads, offers an unexpectedly spacious living experience that will truly surprise you once you step inside. Just a short walk from Canterbury city centre, yet set on an attractive road. Believed to have been built during the Edwardian era, the house retains many period features, such as the original staircase, bay windows, coved ceilings, picture rails, pine doors, and wood flooring, all of which add a wonderful sense of character to the home.

You enter through a welcoming entrance hall, which leads to the heart of the home – the spacious L-shaped kitchen/diner and family area. This expansive space is perfect for family living and entertaining, making it ideal for hosting dinner parties or children's gatherings. The family area features a lovely brick fireplace with a wood surround, while the large, modern kitchen/diner offers direct access to the garden and terrace. Adjacent to this is a good-sized study or hobby room, with convenient laundry facilities and access from the hall, creating a lovely open flow throughout the ground floor. The main sitting room, featuring the original bay window fitted with bespoke double glazing, is the perfect spot for a cozy evening by the fire, which sits within a beautifully carved wood mantle. For extra storage, there is a very useful cellar that could easily house your favourite wines.

Upstairs, you'll find the family bathroom and three bedrooms, including the first bedroom above the sitting room, which also features a charming bay window. The top floor has been converted into a versatile fourth bedroom/office, complete with a dressing area and en suite shower room. This space would make an excellent retreat for teenagers or could serve as a home office, offering peace and privacy away from the rest of the house.

Outside, the property offers plenty of surprises for everyone to enjoy with the house boasting a surprisingly large and delightful garden, providing a rural atmosphere. With the large cabin to the rear, this offers a versatile room that would be an ideal home office or studio. The driveway provides parking for up to four cars.

This property is brick and block construction and has had no adaptions for accessibility.
