Elmley is a handsome and characterful double-fronted period house offering generous, well-proportioned and versatile accommodation, set in a highly convenient location within easy reach of Canterbury's historic city centre. This substantial property presents a rare opportunity for general updating and modernisation, while also offering scope for extension and reconfiguration (subject to all necessary planning consents). The accommodation on the ground floor includes a spacious entrance hall, adjoining which is a useful lobby area and a shower room with w.c. There is a large dual-aspect sitting room to the front with sash windows, and a further reception room with patio doors overlooking and opening onto the garden. The separate dining room flows into the kitchen, which is fitted with a range of wall, drawer and floor units and a window overlooking the garden. To the rear is a practical utility room and garden room, along with a further passageway providing access to both the front and rear of the house. On the lower ground floor is a large cellar with two further smaller rooms and a window to the front. On the first floor, the accommodation continues to impress with five well-proportioned bedrooms, one of which benefits from its own w.c, as well as the family bathroom and separate W.C. The property benefits from gas fired central heating and offered for sale with no onward chain.

Externally, the property boasts an impressive outdoor space with a substantial garden incorporating paved patio leading onto an expansive lawn. Mature borders contain a variety of flowering plants and shrubs along with a large greenhouse. Vehicular access is gained from Cherry Garden Road leading to a detached garage.

Beyond the principal garden lies a further parcel of land, offering exciting potential for redevelopment. Subject to all necessary planning consents, this space could be utilised to enhance the garage, create additional ancillary accommodation, or even develop a self-contained annexe using the existing garage building.

The property enjoys an enviable setting with easy access to Canterbury city centre, and Canterbury West station, which provides High-Speed rail links to London St. Pancras with a journey time of approx. 55mins. The local independent schools, including The King's School, St. Edmund's and Kent College, are nearby, as well as a number of well-regarded primary and secondary schools on the South side of the city.
