Maison Individuelle De 6 Chambres En Vente À Canterbury

What the OwnersSay: One of the things that first drew us to this house was its remarkable ability to feel completely private and rural, whilst being just moments from everything Canterbury has to offer. Tucked away behind mature trees on Nackington Road, the property enjoys an enviable setting where you can wake up to birdsong, enjoy far-reaching green views and feel wonderfully removed from the pace of daily life, yet still reach the city centre in just a few minutes. The city centre lies approximately 1.5 miles away, placing Canterbury’s extensive selection of shops, restaurants, cafés, theatres, cinemas, cultural attractions and everyday amenities within easy reach.

The position adjacent to Canterbury Rugby club is handy and provides a real community hub, although being hidden by trees and hedges it means that we are particularly lucky to enjoy complete privacy around the pool, hot tub, patios and throughout our gardens in the summer.

For families, the location is exceptional. Some of Kent’s most highly regarded schools are nearby, making the morning school run refreshingly straightforward. Simon Langton Grammar School for Boys is situated virtually on the doorstep along Nackington Road, while Simon Langton Girls’ Grammar School, The King’s School, Kent College, St Edmund’s School and several highly regarded primary schools are all within easy reach. The proximity to these prestigious educational establishments has always been one of the location’s greatest assets. We are also within walking distance of the Chaucer Hospital, Kent & Canterbury Hospital and a GP surgery in Ethelbert Road.  Transport connections are ideal, with two railway stations and easy access to Victoria and the High Speed service to St Pancras, and excellent road connections for Dover, the Kent countryside and coastline, and the wider motorway network.

Being so close to Canterbury we did not expect it to feel like being in the countryside. Perhaps the abundance of mature trees and hedges in the garden encourages so many species of birds and animals and hearing owls at night has been an unexpected treat. Whilst the pool, patio and pub/shed provide a wonderful summer focus, the drawing room comes into its own in the winter. The inglenook with wood-burner and the inter-connected dining room are perfect for family Christmases and rainy Sundays. It really is a year-round house. We can cycle into Canterbury or it’s a short taxi ride to access some super restaurants and pubs. Three top brand supermarkets are within a mile of us which we have found to be very convenient.

We have always felt that our home offers a lifestyle that is both exceptionally convenient and wonderfully special.
