Cromwell Road, Canterbury

A magnificent Edwardian family home, with a wonderful garden and stunning orangery situated in one of South Canterbury's most desirable roads, within a short walk of the City Centre, grammar schools and Kent & Canterbury Hospital. The property offers over 1500 sq. ft of beautifully appointed accommodation, showcasing exquisite period features throughout and is offered to the market with no forward chain.

This lovely property has been truly treasured by its residents and is a wonderful home for a family to reside in. It is extremely handsome from the kerb, with a red brick façade, walled front garden and a chequered pathway leading to the front door. You then enter through a porch and into the entrance hall; its high ceilings, intricate mouldings and ornate ceiling rose setting the precedent for the rest of accommodation. A door to the right takes you into a lovely sitting room which displays a wealth of period features, from picture rails to another beautiful ceiling rose. The focal point of this room is the log burner, ideal for when you want to hunker down in the cold winter evenings and original wooden floorboards finish the room off beautifully.

Continuing down the hallway, another door to the right leads into a good-sized, versatile reception room with an open fireplace and alcove shelving either side of the chimney breast. Through to the rear of the house, where you have a large dining room which is open to an exquisite orangery, extending the living space beautifully, a light-filled space, ideal for entertaining guests and spending quality time with loved ones. A set of French doors from the orangery open into the previous reception room, giving the layout a wonderful flow. Off the dining room, you will find a good-sized kitchen which has a range of sage-green coloured cabinets and is fitted with a double-oven and induction hob. There is space for a dishwasher, washing machine and fridge freezer. White wooden French doors open out to the rear garden and onto the decking.

Stairs rise to the first floor, where a spacious landing leads to three double bedrooms, a single bedroom, bathroom and separate WC. All bedrooms feature original wooden floorboards, and the three double rooms have feature fireplaces. The primary bedroom to the front has a large box bay window, allowing plenty of natural light in and built-in wardrobes. You will also find built-in wardrobes in the middle double bedroom. The family bathroom is spacious and has a suite consisting of WC, sink and bath with a shower over. There is also a separate WC, coming in handy for families and guests. The property benefits from a large loft space, with the potential for further accommodation, subject to any necessary planning.

OUTSIDE:

The rear garden is a good size, enjoys plenty of sunshine and has been thoughtfully landscaped to include two decked areas, perfect for alfresco dining and entertaining. The garden feels quite private, and you have a nice outlook onto tall, mature trees you could easily forget you are moments from the City Centre! Part of the garden is walled, and a new fence has just been erected on the right. There is also a gate providing rear access.

Resident parking is available on the street outside.
