This spacious four-bedroom semi-detached house sits on a rare, generous plot in St Stephen’s, within easy walking distance of the city centre and well-regarded primary schools. The property offers bright, well-proportioned rooms across a traditional layout, with a large living room, modern kitchen/diner and a versatile landing that could be adapted to create additional en-suite accommodation or a study area.
The rear garden is the standout feature — approximately 200ft of private, sectioned outdoor space with mature trees, a mini fruit orchard and multiple seating areas. Parking is practical with a brick-paved driveway for two cars and an attached garage with an electric door. The home has been well cared for by long-term owners and benefits from double glazing (install date unknown), a mains gas boiler and a wood-burning stove in the living room.
Notable practical points: there is a single family bathroom serving four bedrooms, so arranging an extra shower or en-suite would enhance family convenience. The house was constructed in the mid-20th century (c.1950–66) so buyers should expect age-related maintenance and to verify services, electrics and heating installations. Crime levels in the area are reported above average; prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves on local safety and security measures.
Offered with a short, complete onward chain, the property is well suited to growing families seeking generous outdoor space close to schools, commuter links and city amenities. Its combination of living space, scope for improvement and an exceptional garden make it a rare find close to Canterbury’s centre.
