A one bedroomed Grade II listed character property set within a unique and secluded location in the heart of Bridge village, within walking distance of local shops, restaurants and the bus stop which will get you into Canterbury in approx. Ten minutes and runs every half an hour (approx.).
Originally the chapel in a Victorian workhouse there are twenty-six residences which were converted in the 1980’s and set within a peaceful close. All the properties have their own private outside space and allocated parking along with beautifully manicured communal gardens, encouraging a close-knit community.
The property offers over 500 sq.ft of split level accommodation, which holds the potential to modernise and enhance.
The front door opens into an entrance hall with stairs to the first floor. To the right there is a delightful open plan living room with spectacular high vaulted ceilings and French doors onto a private sun terrace.
New quality wood effect flooring has been laid throughout the living area which leads onto the kitchen and comprises of solid pine, decorative units which encompass all main appliances and are set upon stone flooring.
There are a few steps leading to the main bathroom with shower over bathtub, basin and WC, adjacent to this there is a utility cupboard with Valliant combination boiler and room for laundry appliances.
On the same level as the bathroom is a small bedroom, currently used as a dressing room/office, which provides access to a substantial basement storage area below. Another set of stairs leads up to the main bedroom on a mezzanine landing overlooking the living room.
Outside:
The communal gardens are immaculately kept, and seating areas are dotted around the square.
No.26 has a private sun terrace accessible from the French doors in the sitting room, it is adorned by established shrubs which surround the terrace and offer delicate shade and privacy.
Agents note:
We believe there is a 999-year lease in place from 1989 and the property is being sold with a share of freehold. An annual charge of approx. £1150 is in place and covers maintenance to the gardens and exterior of the building. Sub-letting is not currently permitted.
Situation:
The village of Bridge is situated in the Nailbourne Valley in an attractive rural setting on the old Roman road of Watling Street. It lies 2.5 miles southeast of Canterbury and 12 miles from Dover. Bridge, like other similar villages in the locality is a popular residential area for people working in Canterbury and other nearby towns. It has a health centre, primary school, dental surgery, mini market, three pubs which include a Michelin star restaurant and The Pig hotel which has an award-winning restaurant and spa.
The nearby cathedral city of Canterbury is a vibrant and cosmopolitan city, with a thriving city centre offering a wide array of High Street brands alongside a diverse mix of independent retailers, cafes, and international restaurants. The city also offers a fine selection of sporting, leisure, and recreational amenities, including the refurbished Marlowe Theatre. Canterbury has an excellent choice of educational amenities, ranging from
Grammar schools to well-regarded private schools and three universities. Canterbury offers a regular rail service to London Victoria, Charing Cross and Cannon Street and the high-speed rail link connects with London’s St Pancras from Canterbury West station in just under one hour.
Ashford International station and the Channel Tunnel at Folkestone are both about 14 miles away and provide regular Eurostar and shuttle services to the continent, whilst the A2/M2 motorway provides good access to both London and the Channel port of Dover.
The surrounding countryside is predominantly farmland and is ideal for those who enjoy outdoor pursuits, such as walking and horse riding, whilst the nearby Stodmarsh Nature Reserve offers excellent bird watching. There are also numerous pretty villages nearby with typical village pubs to visit, such as Wingham, Littlebourne, Ickham and Wickhambreaux, giving you the ideal balance between city and country living.
