A charming, artistically presented period home enjoying an enviable position within the City Walls, a stone's throw from the Marlowe Theatre, High Street and stunning Westgate Gardens.
The current owners have thoughtfully renovated the property and their eye for detail and flair for interior design is evident in the finish. They have creatively enhanced the property's character, adding their own unique style and decorating with a mix of neutral and bold palettes which compliment the original wooden floorboards running seamlessly throughout, and the use of natural materials, resulting in a vibrant, stylish home.
The front door opens into a delightful sitting room which features a working, open fireplace with the most beautiful original tiling. You have a large bay window, allowing plenty of natural light in. The bay is enhanced by unique wooden shutters, which the current owner designed, and hand crafted himself. You will also find these shutters in the bedrooms upstairs. Through to a lovely dining room which features a log burner, creating the perfect cosy ambiance to enjoy a good meal with friends and family. Continuing through to a Scandinavian inspired kitchen, featuring stripped wooden cabinets and worktops giving it a natural, minimalistic finish. A fridge/freezer, full-size dishwasher and washing machine have been cleverly built-in to the cabinetry and there is also an integrated oven and induction hob. Off the kitchen, you will find an incredibly useful and versatile room with doors leading to a WC and out to the rear garden. This room is currently being used for additional storage but previous uses have included an office.
A stripped wooden staircase with a stylish runner takes you up to the first-floor landing. The landing is decorated in an atmospheric dark grey, with the stair banisters and spindles to match. The landing and bathroom both enjoy vaulted ceilings, creating height and a feeling of space. Into the bathroom, the owner's favourite room in the house and it is easy to see why. This is a beautiful room, which enjoys plenty of sunshine, creatively finished with wooden panelling, handmade concrete tiles and luxurious green granite. It has underfloor heating, a heated mirror and lots of concealed storage. The bathroom enjoys views of two of Canterbury's most iconic landmarks, the Cathedral and the Marlowe Theatre. You can enjoy the most amazing view of the stunning Cathedral from your own shower!
Along the landing, you will find the main bedroom to the front of the property which has a beautiful feature fireplace and alcove storage either side of the chimney breast. The second bedroom is a smaller double, with an outlook to the rear looking onto the Marlowe Theatre. This room also has a feature fireplace and alcove storage to one side.
OUTSIDE:
The property has a wonderful, private rear garden which enjoys plenty of sunshine throughout the day. It is landscaped, offering a beautiful, easy-to-maintain outdoor space to potter around and relax in. To the rear, there is a patio area where the current owners have a picnic table and a gate provides rear access.
Overall, this is a wonderful and unique property in an enviable, central location. We are confident that it will receive strong interest so please arrange your viewing early to avoid disappointment!
