Full Description: 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.<br />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.<br />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. <br />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. <br />Moving upstairs there are four bedrooms, a huge family bathroom, shower room and additional WC arranged over two floors, providing excellent versatility. <br />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. <br />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. <br /><br />Location<br />Sturry is a village located east of Canterbury city centre.
