5 bedroom detached house in Bridge, Canterbury

To really appreciate this stunning residence you need to step over the threshold to revel in the wow factor and enjoy this veritable Tardis of a spacious family home. It was originally built in the mid 1950s but in 2006 it was completely renovated and expanded by the current owner. As a builder the owner has ensured that everything is of the highest quality and you can see the superb craftsmanship wherever you look. The property nestles in 0.4001 acre of grounds and includes plenty of flexible accommodation that has been designed for both a leisurely family life and entertainment. There is an indoor swimming pool complex, a cinema, a high quality brick built barbecue and a gym.

Once over the threshold and through the large tiled porch your first sight is the impressive double height reception hall with its attractive pine staircase and galleried landing. It leads to the main family space that includes the large country style fitted kitchen, a dining room with french doors to the rear terrace and the sitting room with its attractive art deco style fireplace and herringbone parquet flooring. An arched corridor leads to the beautifully proportioned and elegant drawing room and a good sized cinema that leads through to the swimming pool complex that could always be converted into a separate annex. It includes the heated pool, a gym and changing facilities, a utility room, shower room, an office, plant room, the forecourt and the fully tiled and heated double garage/games room. The landing leads to three double bedrooms and a family bathroom. They are separate from the master suites and approached via the main staircase, One of the rooms has access to the large attic that could be another bedroom. The other staircase leads to two stunning master suites both with seating areas and stairs up to dressing rooms that could become additional bedrooms if required. One is adjacent to a fully tiled and marble bathroom and the other includes an en suite bathroom. Outside there are individual garden areas and an additional walled driveway.
