This substantial Victorian detached home on South Canterbury Road combines original period charm with high-spec contemporary living across approximately 3,171 sq ft. Sympathetic renovations and a three-storey extension create flexible family accommodation: five bedrooms, four bathrooms and generous reception rooms retain restored sash windows, ornate cornicing and original entrance hall tiles.
The heart of the house is a large open-plan kitchen/family room with quartz worktops, an island, integrated appliances and a Rangemaster cooker, plus underfloor heating in the kitchen and bathrooms. Practical features include a lower-ground utility room, CCTV, a modern alarm, a full rewire and a new gas central-heating system — ready for immediate family occupation.
Externally the property sits behind mature hedging with a secure gated driveway providing off-street parking for up to five cars and a large urban plot with private garden. Location is a key draw: minutes from the city centre, the hospital and highly regarded local schools, with Canterbury West station offering fast London links.
Buyers should note some practical facts: council tax is band F (expensive), the home dates from the early 1900s and the cavity walls are assumed uninsulated (no retrofit insulation recorded). The property sits in a lively urban area adjacent to the hospital, which may bring occasional activity but also excellent local amenities and services.
