5 bed property for sale

St Peter's Street, Canterbury CT1

A Country House in the heart of the Cathedral City of Canterbury.

The Master’s Lodge is a beautiful Grade II Listed timber-framed house. Believed to date from before the 16th century, the property is of rendered and brick elevations, with exposed timber framing and a tiled roof.

The property currently forms part of the Eastbridge Hospital and is being sold by the charity to fund repairs to the Grade I Listed Building and the Franciscan Gardens adjacent. It has elegant, spacious reception rooms overlooking the gardens, with well laid out accommodation on the first and second floors.

Two sets of wooden gates lead into the courtyard directly off St Peter’s Street to a paved parking and turning area for several vehicles. The gardens are mainly to the south of the house and catch the sun for most of the day. Surrounded in part with mellow brick and flint wall with mature hedging, they are principally laid to lawn with shrub beds and fruit trees making an amazing and private oasis for such a central location.
