A welcoming entrance hall leads through to the substantial kitchen fitted within the last year. Arranged in a U-shape around a central granite-topped island/breakfast bar, with contemporary wall and base units together with a variety of modern integrated appliances including a Liebherr fridge/freezer, double oven and a five-burner induction hob.
Adjacent are the bright living spaces, the first being the formal dining room which flows through to the conservatory, with its views of the sunny terrace, pool and private garden beyond. Alongside these two rooms, and accessed through sliding glass barn-style doors, is the sizeable sitting room, another light and airy space. This room has a feature fireplace and an array of sash windows all enjoying tranquil views of the pretty garden.
The garden room is reached from the kitchen, with glass double doors providing access to the rear terrace. A door from the garden room leads to a practical utility area and a cloakroom.
The substantial and peaceful principal bedroom has a variety of built-in storage options and an en suite bathroom with separate walk-in shower. Three further very well-proportioned bedrooms also occupy the first floor, all with fitted wardrobes and being well served by the family bathroom.
The White Lodge is situated in a desirable location close to the centre of the historic city of Canterbury, which offers an extensive array of shopping, leisure, cultural and sporting facilities, including popular eateries, bars and cafés. There is an abundance of well-regarded schools in the local area, in both state and private sectors, including the Simon Langton Grammar schools, St Edmunds and The King’s Schools.
Road and rail links are excellent, with the A2 and M2 (Junction 7) a short drive away, providing easy access to central London and further afield. Surrounding countryside spaces and charming villages, including Littlebourne, Wickhambreaux, and Ickham, provide a delightful balance of country and city living. Also convenient for the commuter, the High-Speed service from Canterbury West runs regular train services to London St Pancras in as little as 54 minutes. The Channel Tunnel can be found at nearby Folkestone, whilst Ashford International provides Eurostar services to the Continent.
The White Lodge sits in an enclosed wrap-around plot, benefitting from an attractive south-west facing aspect to the rear. The property is accessed via a long, sweeping gravelled driveway, with a wide level lawn adjacent, separated by a privet hedge. The driveway leads to the brick-built garage building, offering ample room to park several vehicles. An additional outbuilding provides a stable with greenhouse attached.
The rear paved terrace offers the ideal spot to soak up the sun and admire the views. The heated swimming pool with newly fitted solar cover is perfectly positioned, yet carefully separated from the wider garden space with picket style fencing and colourful flowerbeds. A further expanse of level lawn is made private by the range of established and mature trees surrounding the plot, whilst several well-chosen trees and shrubs punctuate the space and add further interest.

Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:
Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s
The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2
Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
