Detached House for sale with 5 bedrooms, St Stephens Road, Canterbury

For anyone looking for a beautifully presented detached family home with a good sized private rear garden near to the city centre and only an eight minute walk to Canterbury West Station, this charming 1930s property could be ideal. It is approached via newly laid block paved driveway where you can park up to four cars – a real bonus in this part of Canterbury.

With its newly painted exterior and charming bay windows it has an attractive appearance with steps that lead up to the modern front door. This opens into a lobby and the hallway that includes a staircase to the first floor and engineered wood flooring that flows through much of the ground floor.

There is a spacious double bedroom with a charming bay window overlooking the driveway and an en suite shower room. This would be ideal for elderly relatives or guests who find the stairs difficult. However, it is currently being used as an excellent study, which could always be a useful alternative use for this room as there is easy access for business visitors.

The particularly delightful kitchen and breakfast area is very light and airy and extremely well-equipped with a Rangemaster stove and attractive units with quartz worktops incorporating a larder cupboard with integral plugs, two integrated fridge freezers and a Quooker boiling and cold water tap. The breakfast area has a glazed pitched roof and French doors to the block paved wraparound terrace as well as a fitted utility area with a dishwasher and washing machine.

Light and space are the key features to the dual aspect lounge/diner with room for a good sized dining table and French doors to the large terrace. A second set of French doors opens into the charming hexagonal conservatory that makes an excellent additional seating area and provides delightful views over the garden, while a wide archway leads to the play/family area, continuing the open plan feel and providing a great dedicated space for kids.

The staircase includes an understairs coat cupboard and a small storage cupboard and leads to the first floor galleried landing with access to a boarded loft, a shower room, a family bathroom with a bath and separate shower and four double bedrooms. These include a guest room with fitted cupboards and the lovely triple aspect main bedroom with a charming bay window and built in bedroom furniture.

Another special feature of this property is the secluded rear garden. In addition to the large patio there is a raised barbecue and al fresco dining area, a good sized lawn bordered by colourful shrub beds as well as pear, apple and cherry trees and strawberry plants, which should keep green fingered enthusiasts happy. There is also greenhouse and a garden shed with lighting and electrics that powers the outdoor lighting.
