3 London Road is a handsome Grade II Listed Georgian townhouse, just moments from the centre of historic Canterbury. All the front rooms have charming views of the church opposite, with fascinating views over Canterbury - including the Cathedral and Marlowe theatre - from the higher levels.

Dating from the late 18th century, the property provides a wealth of attractive living space across four levels, with flexible accommodation. There is plenty of character throughout, with elegant original features including sash windows, open fireplaces and ceiling mouldings and cornicing.

Located to the front of the ground floor, the relaxed sitting room welcomes plenty of natural light through two large sash windows and has a cast-iron open fireplace. There is a snug overlooking the courtyard garden, and cloakroom. The lower ground floor has two further reception rooms, currently utilised as a family room and an office/study.

To the rear of the ground floor is the extensive 27ft kitchen, with plenty of storage in the neatly fitted range of wall and floor units; there is a range cooker and space for all the necessary appliances. At the end of the kitchen there is room for a breakfast table next to a cosy wood-burning stove. French doors from here open onto the garden.

Four double bedrooms are arranged across the first and second floors. The first floor includes a notable Drawing room with an open fireplace and three large sash windows overlooking to church, currently utilised as a bedroom. There is a large family bathroom, which has a corner bathtub and a separate shower unit.
