Surrounded by mature trees on Nackington Road, it enjoys a peaceful setting with green views and abundant wildlife, yet has easy access to the city's shops, restaurants and amenities.<br /><br />Situated beside Canterbury Rugby Club, the property benefits from a strong community feel, while mature hedging ensures excellent privacy around the gardens, pool, hot tub and patio areas.<br /><br />The location is ideal for families, with highly regarded schools nearby including the Simon Langton Grammar Schools, The King's School, Kent College and St Edmund's. Hospitals, GP services, railway stations and High Speed rail links to London are also easily accessible.<br /><br />Despite its convenience, the property retains a genuine countryside atmosphere. The mature gardens attract a variety of wildlife, and the home works beautifully throughout the seasons. Summer centres around the pool, patio and garden entertaining spaces, while the drawing room with its inglenook fireplace and wood burner provides a cosy winter retreat.<br /><br />With Canterbury's restaurants, pubs and supermarkets just minutes away, this is a home that perfectly balances convenience, privacy and lifestyle.<p></p><h3>Room sizes:</h3><ul><li><b>Entrance Hall</b></li><li><b>Cloakroom</b></li><li><b>Study</b>: 22'6 x 13'6 (6.86m x 4.12m)</li><li><b>Boiler Room</b></li><li><b>Sitting Room</b>: 19'0 x 15'6 (5.80m x 4.73m)</li><li><b>Utility Room</b>: 10'8 x 9'8 (3.25m x 2.95m)</li><li><b>Cloakroom 2</b></li><li><b>Kitchen/Breakfast Room</b>: 26'8 (8.13m) x 15'1 (4.60m) narrowing to 7'8 (2.34m)</li><li><b>Dining Room</b>: 19'3 (5.87m) x 15'0 (4.58m) narrowing to 10'8 (3.25m)</li><li><b>Drawing Room</b>: 22'6 x 14'0 (6.86m x 4.27m)</li><li><b>Landing</b></li><li><b>Bedroom 2</b>: 19'0 x 12'3 (5.80m x 3.74m)</li><li><b>En Suite Bathroom</b></li><li><b>Bedroom 3</b>: 14'9 x 11'6 (4.50m x 3.51m)</li></ul><ul><li><b>En Suite Shower Room</b></li><li><b>Bedroom 4</b>: 11'6 x 11'6 (3.51m x 3.51m)</li><li><b>Bedroom 6</b>: 11'3 x 8'0 (3.43m x 2.44m)</li><li><b>Family Bathroom</b></li><li><b>Bedroom 5</b>: 11'6 x 11'3 (3.51m x 3.43m)</li><li><b>Principal Bedroom</b>: 16'0 x 14'9 (4.88m x 4.50m)</li><li><b>En Suite Bathroom</b></li><li><b>Triple Garage</b>: 28'6 x 19'6 (8.69m x 5.95m)</li><li><b>Bar/Games Room</b>: 15'8 x 12'5 (4.78m x 3.79m)</li><li><b>Rear Garden</b></li><li><b>Outdoor Heated Swimming Pool</b></li><li><b>Side Garden</b></li><li><b>Front Garden</b></li><li><b>Gated Driveway</b></li></ul><p> <br /><i>The information provided about this property does not constitute or form part of an offer or contract, nor may it be regarded as representations.
