3 bed detached house for sale

Ashford Road, Canterbury CT1

Guide price £500,000 - £525,000.

A treasured three-bedroom detached family home, transformed by the current owners since their purchase in 2019 into a wonderfully individual and beautifully presented property. The house enjoys a convenient position on the outskirts of Canterbury, providing easy access into the city centre and onto the A2/M2 and A28 commuter routes. From here, there is access to a good choice of schools, making this a wonderful place to bring up a family.

The extensively renovated interior is full of warmth and personality, with bold, creative touches sitting alongside stylish contemporary finishes. Outside, the same care and attention has been given to the landscaped garden, with a newly created upper patio terrace and an impressive, insulated garden room with bi-fold doors, while the extended garage provides excellent workshop space.

The property is set back from the road, with a generous frontage and driveway providing off-road parking for several vehicles. The plot also offers exciting potential for further extension on either side. The garage runs the full length of the living room, providing scope to extend into this space, while the existing foundations are deep enough to support an additional storey above, subject to the necessary planning permissions.

The front door opens into a useful porch, with space for coats and shoes, before a second door leads into the entrance hallway. There is further hanging and storage space here, while a striking dark-painted staircase rises to the first floor and a door leads through to the spacious lounge/diner. This is a lovely, bright room which comfortably accommodates separate sitting and dining areas, with a large window and attractive shutters to the front and French doors opening from the dining area onto the garden. Wooden flooring runs throughout, giving the room a warm and welcoming feel.

A door from the dining area leads into the good-sized contemporary kitchen, fitted with dark grey cabinetry, warm wooden worktops and herringbone-style flooring. There is a good amount of storage and preparation space, along with an integrated oven and space for further appliances.

Upstairs, there are three bedrooms and the family bathroom. The warm wooden flooring continues throughout much of the first floor, adding to the character and continuity of the interior. The main bedroom sits to the front of the property and is a spacious double, enjoying pleasant views across towards Tonford Lakes, while the second bedroom is also a comfortable double. Bedroom three is a good-sized single room, creatively finished with built-in display niches that add a lovely touch of character.

The family bathroom is stylishly presented, with a rich teal colour complemented by striking black metro tiling. It is fitted with a white suite comprising a bath with rainfall shower over and glazed screen, wash basin and WC, with a heated towel rail completing the room.

Outside:

The rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped by the current owners to create a series of different areas for relaxing and entertaining. Immediately behind the house is a lawned garden with a gravelled seating and BBQ area, while steps lead through the garden to a generous paved terrace at the top a lovely spot to sit and take in the surroundings while enjoying the garden's sunny, south-easterly aspect.

A fantastic insulated garden room provides an incredibly useful additional space that can be enjoyed throughout the year, with bi-fold doors opening directly onto the garden. It would make an excellent home office, gym or hobby room, or simply an additional place to relax away from the main house.

The garage can also be accessed from the garden and has been extended to create a spacious workshop, providing excellent additional storage or workspace. It also benefits from specialist high-amperage electrical fittings, making it ideal for a range of power-intensive hobbies and equipment.
