This deceptively spacious five-bedroom semi-detached house occupies an elevated position with impressive, uninterrupted views across Canterbury to the Cathedral. At about 1,720 sq ft the home combines mid-century character (bay window, fireplace) with later extensions that create extensive, flexible living space ideal for family life and home working.
The ground floor layout offers a substantial lounge, separate dining room opening onto a mature garden with pond and patio, plus an extended wing housing a utility room, shower room and a versatile reception/garden room that could serve as an annex or additional bedroom. Driveway parking for two cars and an integrated wider garage add practical family convenience.
Important practical details: the property is freehold, has double glazing and gas central heating, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, and is not in a flood-risk area. Council Tax is band F (expensive) and the wider neighbourhood shows high crime levels and significant local deprivation; purchasers should weigh these factors when considering family safety and long-term resale.
For buyers seeking space, city views and a garden with real privacy and planting interest, this house delivers substantial living with clear potential for multi-generational use or part-annexe occupation. The location sits between family-oriented schools and the city centre, but the social challenges of the immediate area are a material drawback to consider.
