Kirby's Lane, Canterbury

A delightful, beautifully presented, semi-detached home located in the heart of St. Dunstan's, a few minutes' walk from the West Station. The property forms part of small, friendly development with a warm sense of community, and has allocated parking and a private courtyard garden. Although a modern build, the property has been sympathetically designed and has the feel and charm of an older, period home, with a gorgeous red brick façade, wrought-iron railings and wood-framed, double-glazed windows.

Inside, the property has been beautifully decorated, using a mix of neutral tones and bold, modern colours. The front door opens into a spacious entrance hall, with a door to the right leading into bright and airy living room, with a set of French doors opening out to your private courtyard garden. This is a beautiful, relaxing room to sit in, especially in the summer months with the French doors open. The current owner has cleverly designed a media, shelving and storage unit which provides desk space, perfect for those who need to work from home. Engineered oak flooring finishes off the hallway and living area beautifully. The kitchen is contemporary, with sleek grey cabinets complimented by white worktops and contrasting dark blue wall units. The kitchen has plenty of power points and is fully integrated with a fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washing machine and oven with an induction hob. There is plenty of storage and surface space, and there is room for a dining table.

Moving upstairs, a lovely open landing gives you a feeling of space with doors leading to a large double bedroom, a single bedroom and a beautifully appointed bathroom. The primary bedroom has a wonderful double-aspect, making it bright and airy, and it features deep mirrored wardrobes with drawers, providing ample storage for clothes. The bathroom is stylishly done, with a large walk-in shower with a contemporary matte black and glass screen. There is a loft which is boarded for extra storage, accessed through a hatch on the landing, by a pull down ladder.

Externally, there is a pretty courtyard garden which has an attractive brick wall, wrought-iron railings and foliage screening for privacy. This is a wonderful, low-maintenance space to relax in and is a real sun trap in the summer months. There is a gate to the side, where you can bring in bikes to store safely. The property has one allocated parking space, a few steps away from your front door.

Please be advised that there is a yearly maintenance charge of £391.50 for the upkeep of the communal external areas, including lighting.

LOCATION:

St. Dunstan's is unsurprisingly one of the most desirable areas in Canterbury to live in. The property is a few minutes' walk to the West Station, making it the ideal location for commuters or people who enjoy regular day trips to London as you can hop on the high-speed service which gets you into London within the hour. As well as being close to Canterbury's main High Street, St. Dunstan's is a wonderful area with a buzzy atmosphere which has its own variety of superb restaurants, boutique shops, pubs and amenities including the famous Goods Shed, a bustling farmer's market and food hall selling fresh local produce. There are plenty of activities around to keep you busy at evenings and weekends and both the Marlowe Theatre and Malthouse Theatre are within a short walk of the property. The nearby Westgate Gardens provide a beautiful setting for a picnic or a spot of people watching, and you can enjoy a peaceful stroll along the River Stour.
