2 bed semi-detached house for sale

Claremont Place, Canterbury CT1

A charming two-bedroom semi-detached home full of character and individuality situated in Wincheap, a short stroll from the city centre and walking distance to both mainline railway stations. Behind its colourful façade is a surprisingly spacious home, with plenty of original and interesting features.

The front door opens into a charming sitting room a cosy and inviting space, with stripped wooden floorboard, built-in shelving and an exposed brick fireplace housing a log-burning stove. A lovely feature window between the sitting and dining rooms allows light to travel through the ground floor and adds another interesting detail to the room. The adjoining dining room is a generous size, with plenty of space for a large table as well as additional furniture, making it equally suited to relaxed everyday living and having friends over for dinner.

To the rear is a galley-style kitchen which makes great use of the available space, with wooden worktops, exposed brickwork and ceiling beams adding to the character of the house. There is a good amount of storage and worktop space, along with an integrated oven and gas hob and space for further appliances. Beyond the kitchen is a useful ground-floor shower room which has a characterful feature window and a rooflight overhead allowing a good amount of natural light in.

Upstairs are two good-sized double bedrooms, both with sash windows and plenty of natural light. The bedroom to the rear benefits from a spacious en-suite bathroom which has a boutique hotel feel to it, with a beautiful freestanding claw-foot bath, along with a WC, wash basin, and exposed brick detailing.

Having both an en-suite bathroom and a separate shower room gives the house a level of flexibility that is rarely found in a two-bedroom property. It would work particularly well for two sharers or for an owner who would like the option of renting out the second bedroom while retaining their own private bathroom.
