3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Norfolk Road, Canterbury CT1

An exquisite three-bedroom semi-detached period home, tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac within the popular Wincheap area of Canterbury. Fully renovated in 2020, the property has been beautifully finished throughout, combining the character of a period home with stylish, contemporary interiors. The extensive renovation included a full rewire, with a valid electrical safety certificate in place, a new heating system and new double-glazed windows and doors. One of the most impressive features is the superb kitchen/dining room to the rear, a wonderfully bright and sociable space with skylights and bi-fold doors opening directly onto the garden.

To the front of the property is a beautifully presented sitting room, a lovely light space with a bay window and a chimney breast with a recessed fireplace providing a subtle nod to the property's period character. From here, a door leads through to the hallway, where there is a useful ground floor WC and a storage cupboard underneath the stairs.

Occupying the rear of the house is the stunning kitchen/dining room, which has been thoughtfully designed to create a spacious and contemporary setting for both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen itself is fitted with sleek, neutral-toned units complemented by wood-effect worktops, with a breakfast bar providing additional preparation space as well as somewhere to sit with a morning coffee or chat while cooking. Integrated appliances include a washing machine, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, induction hob, single oven and combination microwave.

Beyond the kitchen is a generous dining area, where a series of skylights allow natural light to flood into the room. Full-width bi-fold doors create a wonderful connection with the garden and can be opened during the warmer months to bring the outside in, making this a particularly lovely space for entertaining friends and family.

Upstairs, the main bedroom is a generous double room positioned to the front of the house, with a large bay window allowing plenty of natural light in. There are two further bedrooms to the rear; with the third ideally suited as a nursery or home office. Completing the first floor is a spacious and beautifully appointed bathroom, fitted with a contemporary white suite comprising a bath, separate walk-in shower, wash basin and WC.

Outside:

Outside, the property benefits from a good-sized private rear garden, with a decked terrace immediately outside the bi-fold doors providing the perfect space for outdoor furniture and alfresco dining. The remainder of the garden is predominantly laid to lawn, providing a blank canvas. At the far end of the garden, wooden double gates provide vehicular access via a small access road leading from Heaton Road. Reinforced plastic grid surfacing has been installed to create an area suitable for off-road parking whilst retaining the appearance of the lawn. There is also on-street parking available to the front of the property.

This is a particularly stylish example of a period home which has already undergone a comprehensive programme of renovation, offering beautifully presented and practical accommodation in a peaceful setting while remaining conveniently positioned for the city centre.
