70, Broad Street, Kent, CT1 2LS

70 Broad Street is a fascinating period home with a wealth of character and full of surprises.

The facade is that of a quaint cottage, but once inside you immediately appreciate the expansive space on offer, with generously proportioned rooms on all levels.

The property has been comprehensively renovated by the current owners.

To the front of the house, the charming snug, with its benched bay window and attractive exposed beams, leads through to the spacious sitting room, with a wood-burning stove in the original inglenook fireplace and views over the rear garden.

The long inner hall opens into a dining room for entertaining and informal meals, with easy access to the light and airy kitchen.

The ground floor accommodation is completed by a utility area and adjoining bathroom.

Four first floor bedrooms provide a flexible choice of rooms to meet a range of family and guest needs with a second bathroom and separate WC.

The principal bedroom features exposed beams and an impressive oversized sash window with views over the garden. The first floor landing also offers excellent storage space.

A separate staircase rises to a second floor bedroom with exposed beams, providing a charming sleeping or office space.

The long rear garden is filled with sunlight throughout the day, with a large side terrace for al fresco dining and entertaining.

Following the path through the attractive garden of lawn and mature planted beds, an arch opens into a second garden space with mature shrubs and cottage garden plants, creating a peaceful oasis to relax and enjoy this attractive home.

A brick outbuilding used for garden storage sits to the rear. A garage is located in a private garage block, a short distance from the house, behind Dean Court.

In a prime setting close to the city’s historic cathedral, the property is superbly situated to enjoy all that Canterbury has to offer, including an array of cultural, sporting and recreational amenities, together with an excellent range of educational facilities in both state and private sectors (including the King’s School, which is just a few metres away).

The house is within a short distance of Canterbury’s two stations, both offering services to London; the High Speed link to St Pancras from West station takes less than an hour.

The A2 and M2 provide direct access to the motorway network. The Port of Dover and the Channel Tunnel at Folkestone provide regular services to the Continent.
