5 Bedroom Detached House For Sale in Nackington Road, Canterbury, Kent CT4 7AX

You could be forgiven for thinking that you have discovered superb examples of Tudor houses as you sweep through the wrought iron gates into Nackington Court, where you will find a charming enclave of five beautiful detached properties that includes The Lodge. However, the properties were actually only built about 28 years ago to a very high standard, replicating all the wonderful features of a bygone era but with all the mod cons associated with contemporary living. This delightful family home is the first property you come to and it is accessed via a five bar gate leading to a detached double garage and a very spacious gravelled parking area interspersed with shrubs and a wooded area screening the property from the road. It has instant kerb appeal with its mellow brick, cream and brown exterior, high chimney stack, wood framed leaded light style windows, an impressive oak framed porch and a lovely wood front door.

This opens into the gorgeous dining hall with its panelled walls and terracotta tiled flooring that makes a wonderful space for entertaining friends and family and looks stunning dressed overall for Christmas. A pair of oak panelled doors open into the very attractive triple aspect living room with French doors to the garden, exposed wall and ceiling beams and a central brick fireplace as a focal point. This currently has an electric log burner style fire but it can revert to a real fire or a log burner if required. A wood panelled door also opens from the hall into the family space that includes a charming breakfast area with French doors to the garden and the kitchen with its gas Aga and traditional units housing stand-alone appliances as well as brick peninsular, a pantry and a door to the utility room with a second oven, laundry facilities and access to the hall. This floor also includes a cloakroom, a coat/understairs cupboard and a beautiful oak staircase leading to the first floor.

The attractive landing has wall beams and leads to the family bathroom and five bedrooms. There is a fascinating double height single with a cross beam and views over farmland that makes an excellent office for anyone working from home, three doubles with dual aspect and fitted wardrobes and the dual aspect, first bedroom with built in cupboards and a panelled en suite double shower room.

Outside there is a spacious rear terrace for al fresco dining and outdoor entertaining and a large lawned area with mature trees and shrub borders as well as a tall copper beech hedge providing privacy and security. The attractive pitched roof double garage has been designed to replicate the exterior of the house and could always be converted to include first floor accommodation as an annex for adult children or elderly relatives, an office/games room. Alternatively, the whole building could be converted into a totally independent dwelling subject to the appropriate planning permission as there is even room at the rear of the garage for a separate garden area.
