Set within 1.04 acres of mature gardens and surrounded by woodland in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Woodlands is a detached family house with a separate two-bedroom annexe and a double garage. The house combines generous reception rooms, a large kitchen with island, conservatory and a triple-aspect lounge with wood burner. The annexe offers independent accommodation with lounge/diner, fitted kitchen and two bedrooms — useful for extended family or rental income.
Practicalities are clear: the property is freehold, built 2007–2011 with double glazing and LPG-fired central heating (not mains gas). A new gravel driveway and automatic garage doors add convenience. The grounds include a wildflower meadow, productive vegetable garden, wildlife ponds and a block of four stables with hard standing — excellent for equestrian or outbuilding conversion potential. Canterbury city centre is about a 10-minute drive and local schools include a mix of well-regarded independent and state options.
Buyers should note the trade-offs: the stated total internal area (approximately 1,023 sq ft) is small for six bedrooms and will feel compact in places; verify floor areas and room measurements. Broadband speeds are average, council tax is described as quite expensive, and the large mature plot will demand ongoing maintenance. LPG heating and rural water/septic arrangements may affect running costs. Overall, this is a private, versatile estate for a family seeking countryside living close to the city, or for those wanting an annexe and equestrian/outbuilding potential.
