5 bed Detached House
£900,000
Herne Bay Road, Sturry, Canterbury
'Sweech Hall' is a beautifully restored 15th century Hall House (Grade II Listed) with later additions, forming part an exclusive farmstead setting on the edge of historic Canterbury.
The high level of finish is apparent from the moment you step inside with a stylish yet classic approach to the interior design which is accentuated by beautiful exposed timbers, period fireplaces and original doors, creating a flawless and totally unique family home.
There are three reception rooms, each with their own sense of character. The dual aspect lounge forms part of the original Hall House with a unique inglenook fireplace echoing the property's bygone era.
The impressive kitchen/breakfast room is adjacent to the dining room and works perfectly as the entertaining hub of the home. A see through, double sided fireplace with log burner adds a chic, contemporary feature to both rooms. The kitchen itself is by 'Roma' and features 'NEFF' integrated appliances and quartz work surfaces complimented by shaker units and knurled door furniture.
A study, cloakroom and utility room completes the generous ground floor.
The enchanting character continues upstairs on the the spacious first floor which presents three double bedrooms (two en-suite) and a stunning family bathroom. The 'Master Suite' has immediate 'WOW' factor with its vaulted ceiling, timber beams and exposed brick chimney breast which provides an attractive contrast to the room. A luxurious en-suite and 'walk in wardrobe' are also found here. Two double bedrooms occupy the second floor, each with original exposed beams.
The large rear garden wraps around the house whilst ample off-road parking is provided via the long private driveway and a detached double car port with power and a pitched tiled roof.
Other benefits include beautiful rural views from the upper floors, engineered oak flooring, underfloor heating in some rooms and fibre optic broadband.
