Full Description
We are proud to offer this Eight Bedroom Detached Property with Incredibly Versatile Use – all interest and OFFERS are INVITED.
*Guide Price £1,000,000 - £950,000*
A substantial and highly versatile eight-bedroom detached residence extending to approximately 2,977 sq. ft. (276.6 sq. m.), offering an exceptional level of accommodation in one of Canterbury’s most desirable locations. Previously operated as a successful Bed & Breakfast, the property has an established hospitality-style configuration with numerous en-suite bedrooms and generous communal accommodation. It now benefits from residential use status whilst continuing to be used by the current owners for guest accommodation, creating an unusual opportunity for purchasers seeking a sizeable family home, lifestyle business or property with income-generating potential.
Arranged over three floors, the accommodation of the existing arrangement naturally lends itself to a broad range of possibilities. In total, the property extends to approximately 276.6 sq. m. (2,977 sq. ft.), providing a scale and configuration that is increasingly difficult to find. Depending upon a purchaser's requirements, and subject to all necessary planning permissions, licensing, regulatory requirements and other statutory consents, potential uses could include a boutique Bed & Breakfast or guest house, Airbnb or serviced accommodation, executive or contractor accommodation, HMO or co-living investment, supported or assisted living, foster care provision, rehabilitation use, a wellness or therapy retreat, multi-generational family living, or a substantial private residence incorporating ancillary income.
The number of bedrooms, extensive bathroom and en-suite provision and generous communal areas are particular strengths for purchasers considering hospitality-led or accommodation-based uses. Equally, the property could make an impressive family residence for those simply requiring considerable space and the ability to accommodate relatives, guests or home-working requirements.
To the ground floor, the accommodation comprises an entrance hall with stairs to the first floor, and three generous reception rooms, including a generous lounge with bi-folding doors to the rear garden, a spacious dining room, and a bright sun room with French doors to the front garden. There is also a stunning kitchen/breakfast room, beautifully appointed with a comprehensive range of high-quality wall and base units, complementary work surfaces and a selection of high-specification integrated appliances, along with a stylish breakfast bar. Completing the ground-floor accommodation are two well-proportioned double bedrooms, one with its own en-suite shower room. The second is situated off a small inner hallway, approached via the dining room and kitchen, with convenient access to a four-piece bathroom.
To the first floor, there are a further four bedrooms, three of which are spacious doubles and one single, all with en-suite shower rooms. The concentration of bedrooms and bathrooms makes this level especially well-suited to an established guest or hospitality-style operation.
To the top floor, there are a further two bedrooms, both of which are doubles, a Jack & Jill shower room accessed by the hall and bedroom seven, and a large store room, completing the property's extensive accommodation.
Externally, the property benefits from attractive gardens to both the front and rear of the property, providing space for entertaining and relaxation and further enhancing its suitability as either a private home or lifestyle-led accommodation venture, and there is a parking area located directly to the rear with gated access via the garden.
The location is another important part of the proposition. Situated within easy reach of Canterbury's historic city centre, together with its universities, established tourism economy and transport connections, the property is well positioned to benefit from the city's enduring appeal to residents and visitors alike.
A rare opportunity to acquire an exceptionally spacious and adaptable eight-bedroom detached property combining residential status, an established hospitality-style layout and considerable potential for a wide variety of future uses. Early viewing is strongly recommended to appreciate the scale and versatility of the accommodation.
