Description
This Edwardian house, nestled in 1.1 acres of grounds, has been untouched for 70 years and is in need of complete refurbishment. Despite its worn exterior, the property boasts original features and is situated just a stone's throw from Sturry station. The house has a charming layout, with a study, utility room, sitting room, dining room, and kitchen on the ground floor, and four double bedrooms and two bathrooms on the first floor. The second floor features two large attic stores and two vaulted attic rooms, perfect for offices, games rooms, or additional bedrooms. The property also includes numerous outbuildings, including a greenhouse, workshop, and storage sheds, which could be converted subject to planning permission. The gardens, although in need of TLC, feature mature trees, shrubs, and flower beds, as well as a "secret garden" and an orchard. The property is located in a Conservation Area, but there may be opportunities to develop the outbuildings. Sturry village offers a range of amenities, including a convenience store, pharmacy, and primary school, while nearby Canterbury provides a range of cultural and educational attractions.
