An exquisite and exceptionally substantial 1930s five-bedroom detached property situated on the highly sought-after New Dover Road, just moments from excellent schools and within walking distance of the city centre. The property occupies a generous 0.88 -acre plot and offers almost 5300 sq. ft. of versatile accommodation and, include multiple outbuildings and garaging which could be converted into a self-contained annexe (STPC).

This grand, double-fronted period home has been with one family for over fifty years. It is flourishing with original Art Deco features, including open fireplaces, high ceilings, intricate cornicing, and arched transom windows that define its heritage and individuality, while offering the opportunity for further modernisation.

The front door sits beneath a canopy with decorative corbels, central to the attractive rendered façade. Wooden-framed sash windows sit symmetrically on either side, while established wisteria breaks the uniformity of the architecture.

An inner lobby leads to an entrance hall, which in turn leads through to the main living accommodation. There are multiple reception rooms, each with fireplaces.

The kitchen is positioned overlooking the garden, adjacent to a breakfast room and walk-in larder. To the east wing, there is another entrance, which could provide independent access to a guest bedroom and the ground-floor bathroom.

An elegant, panelled staircase leads to a large galleried landing, which in turn leads to a family bathroom and five generously proportioned bedrooms, most of which have their own hand basins. With plumbing in place, there is the potential to convert these into full en-suite bathrooms.

OUTSIDE:

Orwell House occupies a particularly large plot of 0.88 acres, which is unusually rare this close to the centre of Canterbury. The house is set back from the road, with enchanting gardens surrounding a long driveway that leads to ample parking and a garage.
To the rear of the property, the grounds are vast, with multiple outbuildings that hold potential for conversion into an annexe (STPC). A swimming pool complex, with showers and WC, sits beyond the garage and offers a wonderful opportunity to be updated and restored to full working order.
