4 bed Semi-detached House
£600,000
Island Road, Canterbury
Enjoyed by the owners for 40 years this substantial and immaculate family home is located in the popular village of Sturry, just 3 miles from the Cathedral city of Canterbury with good links to Herne bay, Whitstable and Thanet.
Despite its Victorian facade, the property was built in 1949 to replicate the original period property that once stood before it was bombed during the blitz in World War II.
The property covers an impressive 1998 sq ft (185.7 sq m) with rooms of elegant proportion and a tremendous amount of natural light flooding through.
The vast ground floor presents a bright and airy lounge which is open to the dining room. The dining room leads through to a stunning kitchen/breakfast room with bespoke freestanding units and butcher block worktops. An impressive conservatory has a beautiful view across the rear garden and is the perfect spot for morning coffee.
Moving upstairs there are four bedrooms, a huge family bathroom, shower room and additional WC arranged over two floors, providing excellent versatility.
Externally, the beautiful 87' (26.62m) rear garden has a southerly aspect, basking in sunshine throughout the day and has been landscaped with Indian sandstone paved seating areas, raised planters and established flower beds. A block paved driveway provides ample off-road.
All in all, a rare opportunity found in excellent order throughout and ideal for those that need to be within easy reach of Canterbury and the schools.
