Property description

This delightful family home can be found in a leafy enclave in the old village of Sturry. It is virtually opposite the historic 16th century Milner Court – home to the excellent Kings Junior School. The property has recently been upgraded and includes two new bathrooms and two very useful storage areas in the lofts. While the double garage has been converted into a vast playroom-cum-office that can accommodate a table tennis table, but could easily be reinstated into a garage if required and the utility room includes a vast shoe cupboard – that would even be suitable for Imelda Marcos!

The sprawling ground floor is ideal for entertaining friends and family with a large kitchen/breakfast room, an attractive living room with access to the large and secluded garden, a dining room and a sitting room/ bedroom. Upstairs, there are four bedrooms with one en suite, as well as the newly-installed family bathroom. Outside, the fenced garden is big enough for a trampoline but still leaves plenty of room for a game of football and also includes a patio and a good sized garden garage (20ft) that could be converted to an outdoor office.

Although much of Sturry sprawls outward beyond the station, the centre of the village still retains its individuality with its quaint high street and the meandering river Stour. The village also offers a variety of extremely useful amenities; there is a very old medieval church, a chemist, post office, library, hairdresser, two supermarkets, various eateries and pubs as well as a doctor’s surgery, veterinary practice and both private and state schools.

What the Owner says:

“It is a delightfully quiet area with charming neighbours who are always available to support each other.
Our children love it here as there is so much to do and we feel it is a very safe area for them. For those who enjoy country pursuits, we are within walking distance of the Fordwich and Westbere lakes for sailing, fishing and hiking and are not far from the Crab and Winkle cycle route. We are also adjacent to historic Fordwich – the smallest town in the country – where you can sample the delightful food or have a drink in one of the lovely country pubs.
At the same time, we are only about three miles from the cathedral city of Canterbury, with its ancient buildings, wide range of high street shops and a variety of pubs and restaurants. Not far away is Wildwood animal park, and for real foodies, the Kathton House Restaurant in Sturry High Street is rated the top restaurant in the Canterbury area by Trip Advisor. For anyone who needs to commute to London, the station is only a 350 metre walk from the house.”
