A double fronted, enchanting, detached Victorian property, tucked away in a peaceful lane in the sought after village of Fordwich which is conveniently located just a few miles from the Cathedral city of Canterbury.
Saturday House occupies a generous 2.36 acre plot of splendid grounds, whilst internally there is over 2100 sq.ft of spacious and versatile accommodation which is flourishing in Victorian charm.
The property has been with one family for over forty years, and has been a wonderful family home, they have extended and enhanced the property over time as well as making sympathetic changes such as new windows and adding plantation shutters to some of the original sash windows.
The facade is beautifully symmetrical with bay windows to either side of the handsome front door, this opens into a light and airy entrance hall with the staircase leading to the first floor. To the left there is a charming dining room, whilst to the right one will find a triple aspect sitting room with open fire.
At the rear of the property, the space has been extended to create a delightful kitchen breakfast room which displays an array of wall and floor units, finished with wood effect work tops and integrates many appliances. The space is further enhanced by a utility and cloak room, with enough space to house laundry appliances.
The ground floor accommodation is completed with a snug which would also serve particularly well as a playroom being located in between the kitchen and utility area.
The staircase rises to a large central galleried landing which leads to a well-appointed family shower room and four dual aspect, double bedrooms. The main bedroom has stunning views over the garden and has triple fitted wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom.
Outside:
Saturday house occupies a generous plot of 2.36 acres of beautiful grounds which includes an extensive gravelled driveway large enough for several cars.
The driveway leads to an enchanting rear garden which is mainly laid to lawn and bordered by pretty flowers, established shrubs and mature trees. A newly installed summer house sits to the left and has a patio area to the front which is the perfect spot for alfresco dining.
The property benefits from a double garage and studio which could be converted to offer a self-contained annexe stpc.
Situation:
The property is situated at the end of a quiet lane, in the heart of the sought-after village of Fordwich and just a short distance from Canterbury Golf Club and a quick walk to the train station with links to London. The property is surrounded by fields and woodland, with an abundance of wildlife and nearby amenities for fishing, walking and pleasure boats along the River Stour.
Fordwich itself has many fine period buildings, two well-known public houses, one of which has a Michelin Star, Fordwich has a reputation for being the smallest 'town' in England, the village is a gem.
Canterbury lies about four miles to the southeast with its excellent shopping centre, cultural interests, general amenities, and a good range of schools in both the public and private sectors, including King's, St Edmund's, Kent College and Simon Langton Boys and Girls Grammar Schools. There are also two universities and various colleges of further education.
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 property is exceedingly well placed for access to Sturry station a short walk away, which offers a one-stop service to Canterbury West with its High-Speed Rail service to London (St Pancras 56 mins).
