House For Sale £550,000
Ashford Road, Canterbury
Property Description: Guide Price £550,000. This property is perfectly located for those that want both the convenience of city life and the relaxation and serenity of the Kent countryside. Although just on the outskirts of Canterbury city centre, there is a wonderful rural feeling to this house and its surrounding grounds as the rear garden backs onto the River Stour and has far reaching views of the Hambrook Marsh Nature Reserve. This family home has been well looked after by the current owners with modern and fashionable décor throughout. The downstairs living space has a very open feel to it. The living room is beautifully lit by the bay window to the front and there is a striking double sided fireplace and marble hearth with a contemporary wood burner, creating the divide through to the kitchen/dining room. The kitchen is well fitted with cream high gloss units and wood effect work surfaces with a new combi-boiler installed in August 2022. There is a breakfast bar for convenient dining as well as plenty of space for a dining table and chairs. There is an integrated dishwasher and plumbing and space for other kitchen appliances. The natural light runs through the ground floor from the bay window at the front, right the way through to the double French doors at the back. There are three bedrooms upstairs and the family bathroom which is fully tiled and well fitted with a white suite and a shower over the bath.
Outside: To the front of the property is a private driveway with off road parking for at least two cars. There is a side gate that leads through to the rear garden which can also be accessed from the double French doors in the kitchen/dining room. The rear garden runs approximately 170ft and has some established plants and shrubs to the borders together with an outdoor pet enclosure. There is an outbuilding in the garden which has both water and power connected and toilet facilities dividing the building into two separate spaces, absolutely perfect as a home studio/workshop/work from home space. At the bottom of the garden there is a paved sun terrace which is gated and fenced off from the main garden. There is a power connection to this area, perfect for river side entertainment. This paved terrace sits on the bank of the River Stour and has a wonderfully matured tree creating shade in the summer; an ideal spot to relax with the sounds of the running water and the surrounding nature.
Location: Ashford road is approximately 1 mile from Canterbury's cultural city centre where you find an array of shops and boutiques, along with fine dining and restaurants serving dishes from across the globe. You will also find a collection of stores within 0.5 of a mile including a Morrisons, B&M bargains, Dunelm Mill, Boots and Pure Gym. To complete Canterbury’s unique experience, there are welcoming pubs, wine bars and the Marlowe Theatre which is not only an iconic modern building, but it is now a prominent stop on the map for all new talent and existing productions. Canterbury is a city steeped in tradition; the stunning Cathedral dominating the skyline and the vast heritage and culture hidden in the original architecture. Canterbury East 1.3 miles away from the property and Canterbury West station is a 1.6 miles walk with a much shorter route along the River Stour. Both stations have links into London but the high speed service from Canterbury West will get you to London St Pancras in under an hour.
