St. Augustine’s Road is one of Canterbury’s most sought-after residential areas, just off the New Dover Road, within half a mile of the City shopping centre.

Set back from the road there is plenty of parking in front of the property and a large side gate for plenty of access space.

As you enter into the property there is a porch area which is a great place to link outdoors with inside, to take off the coats and shoes, then enter into the spacious hallway.

This is the real hub of the household with plenty of sociable space to enjoy cooking, eating or just relaxing. The doors leading to the garden can further enhance the area for entertaining, and the addition of the lantern skylight with pitched roof and glass sides makes this a light and cheerful area, and a log burner makes a great addition for cosy casual evenings.
