3 bed terraced house for sale

Martyrs Field Road, Canterbury CT1

A beautifully presented three-bedroom period home, offering an impressive amount of space, an abundance of character and a wonderful blend of traditional features and contemporary finishes. Since purchasing the property, the current owner has sympathetically renovated the house throughout, carefully enhancing its original charm while creating a comfortable and practical home for modern-day living.

There is a lovely sense of character as soon as you step inside, with stripped wooden floorboards featuring throughout much of the property, alongside attractive fireplaces and other period details. The accommodation is also notably spacious, extending to approximately 970 sq ft and offering two generous reception rooms, three bedrooms and, unusually for a property of this style, two beautifully finished bathrooms.

The sitting room sits to the front of the house, where a large bay window with plantation shutters fills the room with natural light. Stripped wooden floorboards add warmth and character, while an ornate fireplace provides an attractive focal point to the room.

Beyond this is a generous dining room, providing plenty of space for a large dining table as well as additional furniture, making it a wonderfully versatile room for both everyday living and entertaining.

A double oven and gas hob provide ample cooking facilities, while there is also plenty of room for a dining table, creating an informal space for breakfasts and everyday meals. A door provides direct access to the garden.

Upstairs, the generous proportions continue with three double bedrooms. The bedroom positioned towards the rear benefits from its own en-suite shower room, making it particularly well suited to guests, families with teenage children, or those looking for the flexibility to rent the room out. The remaining two are both spacious doubles, finished with stripped wooden floorboards and attractive fireplaces.

Completing the first floor is the beautifully appointed family bathroom, thoughtfully finished with a soft, muted pink colour palette that creates a warm and elegant feel. Painted tongue-and-groove panelling adds warmth and personality, while the generous four-piece suite comprises a freestanding claw-foot bath, a large, separate walk-in shower with stylish tiling, WC and an elegant vanity unit with wash basin.

The result is a beautifully presented, characterful and deceptively spacious home with a warm and welcoming feel.
