Recently renovated and stylishly finished, 173 Old Dover Road is an elegant semi-detached Victorian property providing a spacious and well-appointed home. In addition to the main house there are two self-contained basement studio basement apartments.

The front door opens to a welcoming entrance hall showcasing the classic features of the house, including stained glass windows, deep skirtings and the original staircase. A tiled floor has been reinstated in keeping with the age of the house and underfloor heating continues throughout this level. A useful cloakroom is found at the end of the hall.

A well-proportioned sitting room sits to the front of the house with a southwest-facing bay window introducing plenty of natural light. There is built-in shelving to the side of an open fireplace and a pair of part-glazed double doors open to the kitchen/breakfast room allowing the space to be open plan or not, as desired.

The kitchen is at the heart of the house and combines the traditional with contemporary styling around a large island and Aga with space for a dining table and a seating area. Masses of light floods in through a roof lantern and bi-fold doors, which open to a deck overlooking the garden.

On the first floor there are two comfortable, connecting double bedrooms, currently arranged as a principal suite with one of the bedrooms utilised as a work room/study; there is a dressing room and an en suite bathroom. Stairs continue to the second floor where there are two further double bedrooms both of which have en suite shower rooms.

The basement apartments each have their own entrances and offer comfortable, well-appointed studio accommodation. Both units have a sitting room and bedroom area, a well-equipped kitchen and a shower room. The apartments offer the potential to bring in a steady rental income.

173 Old Dover Road is set back behind a front garden bordered by a low brick wall. Pillars flank a pathway to the front door and there is a silver birch in the garden. A side path provides access to the two self-contained apartments.

To the rear of the house, at the head of the long garden, there is a raised timber deck, accessed from the kitchen/breakfast room via bi-fold doors, while below there is a covered terrace for al fresco dining. The lawn beyond is bordered by well-stocked beds.

At the end of the garden there is a vegetable garden with a greenhouse and raised beds, as well a detached single garage and a parking area, accessed via a lane off St Lawrence Road. Further parking is available along Old Dover Road via a resident permit scheme.

The property is in a Conservation Area within popular South Canterbury and benefits from the historic Cathedral City’s wealth of cultural, sporting and leisure amenities, including the Marlowe Theatre and the Beaney House of Art & Knowledge. There are several cafés, bars and fine restaurants in the city, as well as a shopping centre and many individual shops.

Communication links are well-provided with the nearby A2 giving direct access to the motorway network, linking the M2 and M20. The city also offers a High-Speed commute from Canterbury West station into London St Pancras in under an hour, as well as services to London Victoria from Canterbury East.
