As your hand touches the gate, your eyes travel along the pathway and your heart gives a little flutter.
There is something intrinsically delightful about the look of this Georgian house, a look that conveys a feeling; a feeling that this is home.
Quite what captures our imagination here is hard to define. The garden has that cottage feel, something quintessentially British. Of the house, those Georgian proportions add a magical element, a cleanness of line, the windows and the double front, all so easy to love.
Particulalry interesting here and something special is that, like Belmont House in Throwley and many properties across the South and South East from Faversham to Rye, Lewes and Brighton, this home is clad in Mathematical Tiles.
Often used to reface older homes to make them look like fashionable brick homes the Georgians made much use of them and it's hard to tell the difference.
Harbledown is one of our favourite parts of the wonderful City of Canterbury. Within walking distance you can stroll to the shops, find cafes, bars and restaurants to your heart's content, take a trip on the river or walk through the Westgate Gardens. The Marlowe Theatre provides a wealth of talented productions of great acclaim and, if you crave a trip to The West End, a day out in London or you regularly commute, you can walk from the house to Canterbury West Station.
Back at home, within the Conservation Area, you'll feel like you have left it all behind.
Grade II Listed, this is a home that provides interest, a basement to make use of, four bedrooms upstairs and plenty of living space downstairs. You'll find things to enjoy and perhaps changes to make, things that will make this your home.
You'll love the back garden. Accessed to the left-hand side there's a workshop/garage with garden store behind.
Open your heart, let your imagination loose and this is a home that will delight you for many years to come.
