House For Sale £745,000
You can drive along the A28 every day and not realise that the charming enclave of Pennington Close exists. This exclusive cul-de-sac in Westbere is made up of large and impressive detached family homes and this one at the far end, originally built in the 1980s, is no exception. As you sweep into the block paved driveway the first things you notice are the quiet and peaceful countryside surroundings. However once through the front door you can immediately begin to appreciate that this lovely house has recently been updated to a very high standard and nowhere is this better illustrated than in the excellent kitchen/breakfast room that was only completed a few months ago. This light and bright room with large windows overlooking the garden and a skylight is the real hub of the household and includes everything even the most dedicated of cooks could require. A raft of hand built aqua grey units with quartz worktops all have convenient internal storage arrangements including a pull out larder, and house a variety of kitchen appliances. These include a Bosch hob, a built in Neff oven and microwave, an integrated fridge freezer, a dishwasher and a Villeroy & Boch enamel sink with a drinking tap. There is a well fitted adjacent utility room with a door to the garden.
The elegant and spacious lounge includes very wide sliding glass doors to the terrace with its electronic awning and a new fireplace with a flame effect gas fire and a white surround. Double multi-pane doors open into the formal dining room which is just the place for entertaining friends and family to supper parties or celebratory lunches. Also on this floor is a well fitted office, a cloakroom and a very useful wine cellar. Walking up the attractive staircase with its wood turned bannister you find a good sized galleried landing with access to the large, boarded loft and an impressive family wet room with a power shower and the five bedrooms that all contain substantial cupboards and wardrobes, providing plenty of storage facilities. For example, the attractive main bedroom includes a large dressing room with wardrobes together with three more cupboards and masses of eaves storage in the bedroom.
What the Owner says:
“Why did we enjoy living here for over 20 years? In three words – space, storage and situation. The house is extremely spacious, which means that each family member has their own area. In a time when many work and study from home, this has become particularly important. It has been the ideal property to bring up our sons, who have now flown the nest! It is the ultimate stress-free house to keep tidy, as storage facilities are second to none. Simply put, there is a place for everything. Westbere is a vibrant village with a strong sense of community. The beautiful 14th century pub is ideal for that Sunday lunch, followed by a walk around the magnificent lake while the nearby bus stop takes you directly into Canterbury – ideal for teenagers wishing for independence!
We are very close to Sturry where the high speed train will whisk you to St Pancras in just over an hour yet we are only about 10 minutes from the sands at Minnis Bay for a day on the beach. It is only a short drive to the unesco heritage city of Canterbury with its historic buildings, high street and independent shops, bars and restaurants as well as excellent private and grammar schools, three universities and two theatres.
