Dating from 1871 and significantly renovated in 2020, Woodbine Villa is an immaculately presented family home. The accommodation is arranged to provide bright and stylish social spaces alongside more comfortable zones to relax and unwind in. The sheltered private garden was professionally landscaped in 2020. A generous driveway with double garage sits to the rear. The property is within easy reach of the city centre.
The central staircase hall leads to the open-plan kitchen/breakfast/family room. The family area has a south-facing bay window and a cosy brick fireplace with log-burning stove, whilst the Neptune kitchen comprises a range of attractive Shaker-style cabinetry with a large Butler sink and inset range cooker. A door from the breakfast area opens to the terrace, an ideal space for alfresco dining.
The 17 ft sitting room has floor-to-ceiling pitched windows and French doors to the terrace and garden. The adjoining elegant dining room has a feature fireplace and bay window. A door from the sitting room leads to a well-appointed utility and cloakroom, as well as a study. From here stairs rise to a sky-lit office and descend to the lower ground floor bedroom and modern shower room.
The principal bedroom has its own dressing room and en suite shower room. There are three further well-proportioned bedrooms, one currently used as a dressing room. The family bathroom has a roll-top clawfoot bathtub and separate shower.
The vendors have obtained planning consent to enlarge bedroom 4 to create a new principal suite and extend the ground floor to create a boot room off the breakfast area. Details can be found on Canterbury City Council’s planning portal (ref pre/23/00260).
