Name: Canterbury Luxury House for Sale | $1,475,134
Creator: Le Figaro Properties

My husband and I had this property built to our own design some 10 years ago as we saw the plot and thought it would be absolutely ideal for a spacious residence. It has been a superb home; very warm and cosy and, with the solar panels, it is very energy efficient and with financial returns. However I want to move nearer to my children and let another family enjoy everything this place has to offer. We did look at the idea of getting planning permission for the building of properties on the further lawn and there was a positive attitude from the planners regarding the possibility of building a single dwelling but for health reasons we were unable to pursue it but it is definitely an opportunity for new owners to consider. Wingham is a delightful village that stretches out along a tree-lined high street dominated by the tall green spire of the historic St Mary's Church with its 13th century arches. The village includes thatched cottages, medieval hall houses and handsome Georgian buildings with around sixty houses built before 1760 and many dating back to the 1400s that all combine to give the village a unique, traditional beauty. However it is no sleepy backwater as it has two pubs including the Dog Inn, winner of the 2019 Great British Pub award, the Wingham Central Stores, the Wingham Country Market, a surgery and dentist. Not far away is a garden centre and the excellent Gibsons food hall and farm shop. There are also a multitude of societies and sports clubs, while the recreation ground has been upgraded. For a day out with the family the Wingham Wildlife Park is only half a mile outside the village. There is a well-regarded local primary school in Wingham and nearby Adisham primary is rated Outstanding by Ofsted. There are excellent grammar schools in nearby Sandwich and Canterbury and top private schools in Canterbury. Here you will also find three universities and a further education college as well as high street stores, individual shops, restaurants, historical buildings and two mainline stations including Canterbury West with the high speed train that can whisk you to London in under an hour. Frequent bus services go between Sandwich, Deal and Canterbury while the A2 is not far if you want to drive to London or to Dover and Folkestone for the Continent and the Cinque Port town of Sandwich with its medieval buildings, shops and championship golf courses is also within easy driving distance.”

House Canterbury (United Kingdom)

This fascinating period home has been in our family since the 1970s so I have spent many happy years here but I now feel it is time to move nearer to my children. While the property could do with some updating it has all the basics to create a unique and characterful family home with the added advantage of having the annex that could be extended further by incorporating the garage, subject to the necessary permissions.Fordwich is famous for being the smallest town in England with its own town hall and attractive historic buildings as well as having the river Stour running through the centre. The house is just opposite the Michelin Star Fordwich Arms so you don’t have to go very far for that special celebratory meal, while the olde worlde George and Dragon pub is just the place for a family Sunday lunch. It is not far to the adjacent village of Sturry where you will find a pharmacy, post office, hairdresser and a convenience store as well as the famous Kings School Junior school and the Sturry primary school, graded Outstanding by Ofsted. There is also the mainline station where the high speed train can whisk you to London in just over an hour.There is an extensive retail park not far away and it is only a short drive or bus ride to the centre of Canterbury with its wide variety of historic UNESCO heritage site buildings, high street stores and individual shops, numerous restaurants, bars and the cinema as well as the Marlowe and Gulbenkian theatres and two stations. There are also excellent grammar and private schools, three universities, a further education college and the Kent cricket ground.For anyone who enjoys outdoor pursuits there is Canterbury golf club and plenty of places to go for walks with the dog. There is the Sturry cricket club and fishing available on the river Stour while the nearby Westbere Lakes offers sailing opportunities as well as fishing and air rifle shooting takes place at the Greenfields Shooting grounds in Sturry. Other sporting activities are available at the Polo Farm Club and the Kingsmead Leisure Centre.

If your dream is to live in a fascinating and characterful property on the edge of a charming and popular village with stunning rural views, this fabulously quirky six bedroom residence could be top of your list. Historically a seed merchant’s premises and previously a bed and breakfast with an antique shop, it was originally built in the Georgian era and still retains some wonderful period features. However it has been stunningly but sensitively updated by the current owners as a spacious family home and includes the option to create part of the property as a separate annexe for family members or as a holiday let. As soon as you see the interesting front facade with its original ground and first floor external doors where the sacks of seed used to be delivered and stored as well as the bay and multi-pane sash windows and traditional slate roof you will be eager to see what the inside has to offer.The primary front door opens into an entrance hall with a period staircase to the first floor and access to the versatile ground floor accommodation. This includes an impressive 28ft kitchen and breakfast area and features herringbone oak parquet flooring and a wide central archway creating a delightful open plan feel. Family and friends can sit round a table enjoying a meal in the charming breakfast area with its large bay window and original half height fitted cupboards flanking a lovely open fire with an attractive surround and mantlepiece. While the contemporary kitchen includes an inset range cooker with an induction hob, very smart shaker dark blue style units with marble resin worktops housing an integrated fridge freezer and dishwasher as well as a peninsular breakfast bar and lovely views over the rear garden and the surrounding countryside.There is also a large cellar where you can store your favourite wines and steps down to a spacious fitted boot room with storage units and wide French doors to the rear terrace. A charming snug is just the place for the family to relax in front of an open fire while the adjacent study with the original shop window and fitted book shelves providing a delightful working environment.A separate front door opens to a secondary staircase that leads to a large landing on the first floor as well as a to a utility room with the original vast barn doors to the street that can also be accessed from the snug. It includes units housing an induction hob, oven and dishwasher as well as stand-alone laundry facilities and a control systems cupboard. This side of the house also features a library with shelving and steps down to the superb barn conversion with underfloor heating, a cloakroom and a wonderful triple aspect, lounge/diner with a high vaulted ceiling and crossbeams that is nearly 40ft long. It leads to the impressive games room that is large enough for a full size snooker table while still leaving space to incorporate a bar and seating or a well-equipped gym.It would be possible to adapt this whole area to create a separate single storey annexe, however the first floor landing also includes stairs to the second floor where you will find three charming air conditioned double bedrooms. These have vaulted and beamed ceilings and en suite facilities including one with an integral bathroom, another with a shower room and the third has a cloakroom. So it would be easy to create an alternative three storey annexe for holiday lets or adult children, while still leaving the vast lounge/diner and games room available for the whole family.There is an impressive multi-pane sash window on the main staircase half landing providing excellent countryside views. The first floor features a fabulous luxury family bath/shower room with a central copper and brass slipper bath, a double shower, large fitted cupboards and an original fireplace. There are three double bedrooms including one with an ensuite shower and an original fireplace while a brick archway leads to the master suite that has a fitted walk in wardrobe, en suite shower room and rural views.The beautifully landscaped south facing rear garden is a delight with a large decked terrace for outdoor entertaining and a gate flanked by charming olive trees leading to pathways bordered by a lawn and impressive shrub beds, while at the end of the garden is the Wingham river bordered by fields.

House Canterbury (United Kingdom)

There was a queue of prospective purchasers wanting to buy the three new houses on this small development and we were very fortunate to secure this lovely home. We also own the drive although the other two properties have right of way and mutual responsibility. We have been extremely happy here for the past 37 years and it has been a wonderful environment to bring up our children. They have always been very keen on cricket so living just opposite the entrance to the Kent County Cricket ground was a real bonus. However we feel it is time to downsize and move nearer to the family and let new owners enjoy everything this house has to offer.The location is great as it is very quiet and peaceful but we are very close to excellent grammar schools and we can even walk into the centre of Canterbury in about fifteen minutes or enjoy a cycle ride or stroll in the nearby countryside. The city has virtually everything you could want including historic buildings, high street stores, independent shops and a vast array of restaurants and bars. There are also two theatres and a cinema complex, three universities, top class private schools and two hospitals. As well as the country cricket ground there are plenty of additional sporting facilities including the leisure centre and swimming pool, Polo sports club and the Canterbury golf club. With regard to travel there is easy road access for London or Dover and the Channel Tunnel if you fancy a day in France, while Canterbury has two maintain stations including Canterbury West where the fast train will whisk you to St Pancras in under an hour.

What the Owners Say: We bought this superb property some 23 years ago as we absolutely loved the location with wonderful views, a quiet and peaceful environment yet close enough to the village amenities not to feel isolated. Over the years we have completely renovated and refurbished the property to become a gorgeous family home and have wonderful memories of our life here, however we now plan to downsize and have a property ready to move into.As well as the opportunity to create an annexe, if a new family have equine interests, they could turn part of the rear garden back into a paddock and build stables. As we literally abut the edge of the Minnis it is possible to ride out of our gate straight onto the Minnis and enjoy a hack without ever having to go on the road. The Minnis is also a great place for a walk with the dog and there are excellent opportunities for cycling around the neighbourhood, while golfing enthusiasts have many courses to choose from such as Echinghill, Sene Valley, Canterbury and Broome Park.Stelling Minnis is a friendly village with a local pub, an historic windmill, a post office and a village store for any immediate needs as well as a village hall that hosts a variety of activities including discos and regular film nights. It is also accessible to good schools with an excellent village primary school and a nearby bus stop with buses that take children to secondary, grammar and private schools and other activities in Canterbury.The historic city of Canterbury includes a plethora of UNESCO world heritage historic buildings, high street stores and individual shops, the Marlowe and Gulbenkian theatres, a cinema complex, excellent bars and restaurants as well as two mainline stations with the high speed train from Canterbury West whisking you to London in under an hour. As well as the schools there are three universities and a further education college. While sporting aficionados can watch cricket at the Spitfire county cricket ground of enjoy other facilities at the Kingsmead Leisure Centre and the Polo Farm Sports club.The Channel Tunnel and Dover are easily accessible for trips to the Continent while Hythe is delightful with its pavement cafes, individual shops and seafront.
