For the more outdoorsy there is a labyrinth of wonderful countryside walks with many starting from the perimeter of Kennington. For the more energetic, the Julie Rose Athletic stadium offers a great amount of track and field activities, whilst Eastwell Manor offers utter relaxation and even a round of golf for those taking life at a more leisurely pace.

Furthermore, there is a Waitrose, John Lewis and Dobbies Garden Centre all within a few roads from your front door. Description Minsmere has been very well maintained, thoughtfully extended and is offered to the market in fine order. The current owners have improved what was originally a modest bungalow into what is now not only a large detached bungalow but also offers ample space for a large family. Additions include the attached double garage, additional bedrooms and living space to the rear, detached double garage, the enlarged sitting room, a fabulous conservatory and the upstairs loft conversion. Additional perks not obvious on the floor plan include solar panels on the roof, a summer house and a hot tub in the rear garden! Hidden away at the end of a well secluded driveway and elevated from the main road (with a thick green screen), Minsmere is centrally positioned within its plot. The entrance porch sits to the side of the property and leads to the inner hall. From here, the sitting room sits to the front of the property and makes for a lovely room with a rather grand fireplace with brick surround. The adjoining conservatory is again a great size with ample space for the appropriate furniture and entertaining. The kitchen/breakfast room is complimented by an Aga (not currently connected) and offers the chef a huge amount of workspace and storage. A breakfast table area is located by the side window. The dining room is to the rear and again is suitably proportioned to the scale of the property. There will be no squabbling for bedrooms either as all four come with en-suites! Currently used as a guest suite is the upstairs bedroom with its own separate en-suite. Here there is further access in to eaves storage and even walk in access to very useable loft space. All in all, the level of accommodation here is a real surprise and to coin a cliché, ‘viewing is a must.’ Outside The property is initially accessed via a shared driveway (with the neighbouring property to the left). The private driveway offers parking for several cars and includes a turning circle for added convenience and leads to the first of two double garages (with the second being behind). The front garden is laid to lawn and offers a very mature selection of trees and shrubs to the borders. This provides a great level of seclusion from the passing traffic and neighbours. Unlike most conventional layouts, Minsmere’s front garden is just as useable for families and entertaining as the back. The rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped and offers a healthy stock of flowers throughout. There is a glorious beech tree along with an established and fruitful Victoria plum, walnut tree and a impressive buddleia (to name a few). For the ‘home growers’, there is an allotment area with a greenhouse at the far left just behind the recently constructed timber double garage. Furthermore, a summerhouse with wrap around covered veranda acts as a great little suntrap to wind away an evening. This overlooks the garden pond and main patio adjoining the property and lest we not forget the 5 person hot tub. Directions Coming from the M20 Motorway, exit at Junction 9 and head towards the town centre and the A20. At the first (Drovers) roundabout, take the 1st exit onto Simone Weil Avenue and follow along until the end. At the traffic lights, turn left, towards Canterbury, on Canterbury Road. Follow straight ahead and pass over the roundabout and continue on the Canterbury Road. Shortly after passing ‘The Street’ on the left hand side, the driveway is relatively concealed on the left hand side.
