Rough Common Road, Canterbury, CT2

An artistically presented, three-bedroom, semi-detached family home occupying a generous plot, which includes an extensive driveway and beautifully landscaped 100ft rear garden.

The property was built in the 1950s and thoughtfully extended in the 1980s, it now offers almost 1400 sq. ft of beautifully configured accommodation, which includes a wonderful open-plan living room with French doors leading to the garden.

The current owners have an eye for detail and a flair for interior design, which is evident in the artistic finish of this family home. They have made many enhancements that complement the full-height ceilings, parquet flooring, and desirable layout.

The front door opens into an entrance lobby, ideal for keeping boots and shoes. This, in turn, leads to a bright and airy entrance hall with stairs to the first floor, to the left there is a charming lounge, complete with parquet flooring.

To the rear of the property, the dual aspect living room expands out to the garden via the French doors, although fully open there is clear division for dining and area for relaxing/working. The kitchen sits to the left and could be fully opened into the space, giving a fully open plan kitchen dining room.

The entrance hall has double-height ceilings, and the staircase ascends to the first floor, where you will find a spacious landing leading to three double bedrooms and a well-appointed family bathroom. The bathroom has recently been updated and includes a shower over the bath, a WC, and a basin. The gloss wall tiles, and hexagonal tile-effect flooring add another depth of creativity.

The main bedroom benefits from a luxury en-suite shower room and fitted wardrobes, which create a dressing area.
