5 Bedroom Detached House For Sale in Sturry Hill, Sturry, Canterbury, Kent CT2 0NH

4 5 3 1

This attractive detached residence has been in the same family for more than forty years. It is believed to have been built in the 1920s but still includes some fascinating external and internal features more closely associated with the Edwardian era that give it such an individual character. The house is accessed through an impressive entrance with wrought iron gates and a long drive bordered by shrubs and trees that leads to the garage and wide frontage where you can park a number of vehicles.

The front of the property is particularly interesting with an original veranda, a vast roof terrace, a charming and unusual angled window and the delightful pitched roof porch. The warm and welcoming entrance hall with its cherry wood parquet flooring and archway to the inner hall leads to the main rooms on the ground floor including the large, dual aspect lounge with double glazed tilt and turn sash windows, original French doors to the veranda and a marble surround fireplace with a gas effect coal fire.

While the hall and lounge have retained the atmosphere of a bygone era the extended and open plan living space is the epitome of contemporary design and is the real hub of the household as well as being a superb entertaining space. It includes the dining/family area with six bi-fold doors and windows to the rear terrace, two large skylights, a marvellous modern multi-fuel burner that heats the whole area, inset lighting and hard wearing high end Pingo flooring. The beautifully designed kitchen area has a large breakfast bar, a range cooker, shaker style units with granite worktops housing an American style fridge freezer, integrated dishwasher, pull out larder, pantry and opens up in to the delightful breakfast area.

This floor also includes a study with an angled window overlooking the drive, a characterful cloakroom, a treatment room, a garden room and a large fitted utility room with a dishwasher, washing machine, microwave and plenty of storage as well as access to the garage that has a loft space. It would be possible to create an annex incorporating some of this area including the garage, subject to the necessary permissions.

On the first floor there is a spacious landing with storage cupboards and an arch to the family bathroom with a bath and separate shower as well as three double bedrooms including one with understairs storage, another with dual aspect and fitted cupboards and the stunning first bedroom with delightful built in furniture and a wall of fitted wardrobes as well as a stunning en suite bathroom with twin vanity basins, a walk-in shower and a modern bath. There is also a single room that would make an excellent dressing room or nursery. While on the second floor there is a vaulted double bedroom with an en suite bathroom incorporating a contemporary oval bath and separate shower as well as French doors and floor to ceiling windows to the very spacious and secluded roof terrace with wrought iron balustrades. This lovely area provides wonderful views over the surrounding countryside and is just the spot for a bit of sunbathing or enjoying an evening nightcap.

The secluded rear garden is easy to manage and surrounded by high trees and offers plenty of outdoor entertainment space with a terrace that spans the width of the property, lawn areas and a separate patio for al fresco dining.
