Set in a quiet cul-de-sac in Abbey Gardens, this substantial five‑bedroom detached house offers more than 2,100 sq ft of flexible family accommodation. The double‑aspect living room with bay window and log burner, adjoining sunroom with bifold doors, and a formal dining room create generous communal space for entertaining and everyday family life. The kitchen and utility link directly to the double garage and drive, making school runs and storage straightforward.
Upstairs provides five well‑proportioned bedrooms including a principal suite with en‑suite and built‑in wardrobes; another bedroom benefits from a Juliet balcony and separate side balcony. Storage is abundant with built‑in cupboards and a large loft. Modern additions designed to reduce running costs include an 18‑panel solar array, hybrid inverter with Wi‑Fi and significant battery storage, helping to lower energy bills.
Externally the property sits on a large plot with rear and side gardens, mature planting for privacy, and additional shingled courtyard space beside the garage that could be used as a private seating area or potential annexe footprint. The location is convenient for local schools, bus routes and Canterbury’s amenities, with a short cycle or walk to the station and good access to major roads for commuters.
Notable practical points are that the home lies in an area with above‑average crime statistics and the property attracts an expensive council tax band; these are material considerations for buyers. The house was constructed in the 1980s and while much glazing was upgraded after 2002, prospective purchasers should allow for typical maintenance and potential modernisation to personalise finishes and systems over time.
