Linden House is a handsome property located in the wonderfully convenient and sought after St Dunstan’s area of Canterbury, close to the river Stour and Westgate Gardens. Likely built between 1690 and 1710 during the reign of William III or Queen Anne, the house was Georgianised, probably in 1772, giving the imposing symmetrical façade with a stone capped brick parapet seen today. Restored by the current owners and subsequently cherished for some 47 years, Linden House offers the opportunity to acquire a wonderful family home.
Set behind wrought iron railings, steps rise to the front door which opens to a central hall. Either side sit a pair of well-proportioned reception rooms, arranged as a drawing and sitting room with high ceilings and fireplaces. Tall sash windows flood the rooms with light, and each has a cast iron fireplace.
Steps down provide access to a welcoming kitchen/dining room with units arranged around an Aga to one end and plenty of space for a table to the other. This comfortable family space overlooks and opens to the pretty walled garden and a large utility provides practical ancillary space, off which is a shower room.
Stairs descend to the lower ground floor where there is a useful workshop. A larder and a spacious study.
An elegant staircase leads through the house to the first and second floors. Two generous bedrooms sit to the front of the house enjoying the Georgian proportions. To the back of the house are two further bedrooms and a bathroom as well as a separate WC. The second floor is home to a pair of charming attic bedrooms.
Planning permission has been granted for alterations to create an additional bathroom. For further information please visit Canterbury City Council planning portal Ref: Ca/25/01234
Linden bungalow
Converted from Linden House’s stable/garage building, and set to the back of the plot, Linden Bungalow is a delightful two bedroom cottage with a sitting room, kitchen, two bedrooms, a bathroom and a courtyard garden.
Set back from the street behind Grade II listed wrought iron railings, Linden House is adorned by a mature wisteria. Behind the house, a secluded walled garden provides a lovely setting with a terrace, established beds and shrubs. A deck to one corner provides a secluded seating area enjoying views back to the house.
The house has the benefit of extensive parking along the side of Linden Chase, which is a private road.
Located in the popular St Dunstan’s area, near the Great Stour river and Westgate Gardens, Linden House is ideally situated to enjoy Canterbury’s extensive amenities, including boutique shopping and major stores and excellent dining and cultural amenities. The area offers sporting and recreational opportunities including Canterbury Golf Club, County cricket at the St Lawrence Ground and sailing at nearby Whitstable.
High Speed train services run from Canterbury West (0.2 mile) to London St Pancras from 53 minutes. The nearby A2 provides direct access to the M2 and wider motorway network, and the Port of Dover and the Eurotunnel at Folkestone provide regular services to the Continent.
