Detached house for sale in New House Lane, Canterbury CT4

A charming 1930's built detached residence with spectacular views over surrounding countryside enjoying a peaceful, semi-rural setting just outside of Canterbury. The property has a large rear garden with a beautiful outlook onto the orchards behind, four double bedrooms with an en-suite to the main and two reception rooms downstairs, one of which is being utilised as a home office. This is the perfect location for those who want the beauty and peace of the countryside yet want amenities close by and quick access into the City Centre. The current owners have obtained planning permission for a two storey extension to the rear, which will create a larger kitchen/living space and a large primary bedroom to the rear, with a dressing area and en-suite. Plans also include converting the garage to a third reception room.

The property has been greatly improved over the years, having just had a brand new slate roof and an attractive oak porch has been added. The current owners have also replaced all windows and external doors to high quality double glazed units with aluminium frames.

The property is set back from the road, and has a handsome façade of yellow brick, with the oak porch adding to its character. It has a block paved driveway, where you will be able to comfortably park two cars and there is additional parking on the road for visitors if needed. The front door opens into a bright hallway, with ample space for hanging coats and a door to the right opens into a spacious and versatile reception room, which is currently being used as a home office and a door in this room leads to a downstairs WC.

Further down the hallway, a door to the left opens into a wonderfully light and airy dual-aspect living room with newly laid wool carpets and beautiful views to the front and rear. Double doors open to a large, private patio area, ideal for enjoying a morning cup of coffee ahead of a busy day.

The hallway opens into a large, bright family kitchen with double doors opening out to the rear garden. There is space for appliances and a very large, built-in cupboard offering ample storage space.

Stairs rise to a bright central landing which leads to four, generously-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom. Located at the front, the main bedroom enjoys views of the green fields opposite and there is an en-suite shower room which comprises a double enclosure with a rainfall shower, a WC, wash basin and a heated chrome towel rail. The bedrooms to the rear have a pleasant outlook over the rear garden and the lush fields and orchards beyond, where you can watch the horses play. The family bathroom is spacious and has a modern suite consisting of a bath with shower over, WC and large vanity wash basin. There is also a cupboard, currently housing the water tank.

Outside, there is the most glorious rear garden which is approximately 30 metres long and is laid to lawn. The garden backs onto lush green fields and orchards where you can often see horses grazing. It is an idyllic setting for Summer parties and perfect for families with children and pets. There is a large, double-length shed ideal for use as a workshop as well as access into the garage at the side.
