Land For Sale £850,000
Enjoying wonderful views over surrounding countryside, The Bird’s Nest is situated to the North East of Canterbury, between the city and the North Kent coast. Currently occupying the site is a detached five bedroom bungalow in need of refurbishment. Planning consent has been obtained for the demolition of the existing bungalow to build a striking modern country home of over 5000 sq ft (see Canterbury City Council Planning Ref: Ca//18/02178). The new property would be set further into the plot, allowing maximum enjoyment of the views and the space around it.
The proposed house is to be a spacious single storey design arranged around a magnificent open plan living space, with full height glazing to the rear elevation making the most of the spectacular views. In addition, there will be a further family room and preparation kitchen, providing the best of both open plan and more separate living areas.
A sumptuous principal suite will have a sitting area with doors leading outside and there are three further well-proportioned en suite bedrooms. An integral double garage and extensive storage and utility space make the house extremely practical. A room to the rear offers potential for a further bedroom, self- contained accommodation or perhaps a gym.
Services have been put in place in anticipation of the build, and the drive has been created to allow suitable access for any building works.
The Bird’s Nest sits on the edge of Sturry, a thriving village to the east of the cathedral city of Canterbury. The village provides for day-to-day needs, including a convenience store, dental surgery. Local schools include the Junior Kings’ School, the well-regarded Sturry Church of England Primary School and Spires Academy.
An extensive range of retail and leisure opportunities can be found in Canterbury, including high street shops and independent boutiques, coffee shops, theatres and restaurants; there is also an excellent choice of private and state sector schools.
Road and rail links to and from the city are excellent. Sturry station is one stop from Canterbury West station which offers High-Speed services to London St Pancras in under an hour. The Continent is easily accessible via Eurotunnel and the A2 links to the Channel Port of Dover.
Sited on a sizeable plot, The Bird’s Nest is approached over a gated, tree-lined driveway. Two ponds are located in the front garden.
The garden, which encircles the entire property, is the perfect vantage point from which to enjoy the panoramic countryside views. A line of poplars gives division between the garden and the paddock to the front.
There is large outbuilding which provides excellent storage and potential workshop space for the proposed build.
