Ealham Close, Canterbury, Kent, CT4

Situated in one of Canterbury's most prestigious areas, and just off the highly regarded Nackington Road, this detached, four bedroom family home is both quietly and privately situated.

This exclusive and small development is located on the leafy border of Canterbury, conveniently positioned for access to the City Centre yet remaining in touch with the rolling countryside that defines this part of the North Downs.

With an open aspect to the rear of the property and fronted by well-established trees and communal gardens, this attractive and modern home occupies an enviable plot set right back in a private part of this popular location.

Built in 1995, it was thoughtfully designed to offer spacious accommodation for a large family, the layout includes an expansive living room and large, open-plan kitchen/dining room.

The current owners have sympathetically refurbished the property, updating the accommodation with a new kitchen and bathrooms and replacing the rear doors to the garden.

The owners also reconfigured the downstairs area to enhance and increase the kitchen and open plan area, perfect for those large social gatherings, but zoned to be cosy enough to use as the main hub of this home.

The kitchen has country style kitchen units with fitted appliances. There are plenty of storage cupboards and an integrated hob with overhead extractor. There is plenty of room for seating and a dining area which overlooks the rear garden.

The separate living room is double aspect stretching from front to back with patio doors overlooking the pretty rear garden and a feature fireplace.

There is also a separate study or playroom and ground floor cloakroom.

On the first floor there are four bedrooms. The main bedroom benefits from an adjoining en-suite bathroom plus built in wardrobes. There are two further double bedrooms, the second which has fitted cupboards and a fourth single bedroom. The family bathroom serves the guest bedrooms.

Outside to the front of the property is a private driveway to the side of the house which offers ample off-street parking for several cars and leads to a double detached garage.

To the rear is a delightful private and enclosed garden, with a patio, lawned area and plenty of shrubs, bushes and trees, plus a greenhouse.

There is a £70 per annum charge to the residents committee which maintain the communal lawn areas. The EPC rating is C and the council tax banding is F.

Moments from leading schools and an easy stroll to the cricket ground, Chaucer Hospital and the Kent and Canterbury Hospital this house is well positioned for getting into, or out of Canterbury.

The City of Canterbury itself offers a wide range of shopping facilities, restaurants and entertainment including the popular Marlowe Theatre. Two mainline stations serve the area with links to London, Ashford and the coastal ports of Dover and Folkestone as well as high-speed rail connections to St Pancras in under one hour
