Description
This rare development opportunity presents a detached Edwardian house in 1.1 acres of grounds with numerous outbuildings, located just a stone's throw from Sturry station. The house, which has been untouched for 70 years, features original period details and is set back from the road with a driveway, front garden, and garages. The interior boasts a range of rooms, including a study, sitting room, dining room, and kitchen, with many retaining their original fireplaces and stained glass features. The property also includes a conservatory, four double bedrooms, and two attic rooms. The gardens require some TLC but offer mature trees, shrubs, and flower beds, as well as lawns, pathways, and a "secret garden". The outbuildings provide potential for conversion, subject to planning, and the property has a rich history as the former home of crime writer Catherine Aird. The area offers a range of amenities, including a convenience store, pharmacy, post office, and schools, with Canterbury and its attractions just a short drive or bus ride away.
