The centrepiece of the garden is the recently re-lined heated outdoor swimming pool, designed for year-round enjoyment and enhanced by an electric retractable cover. Adjacent to the pool, a luxurious hot tub provides the perfect place to unwind, while a bespoke bar and games room annexe has been added by the current owners. This versatile and sociable space is ideal for hosting family and friends long into the evening. Completing the property is a detached triple garage and extensive parking for numerous vehicles. This property represents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial family home combining privacy, leisure and exceptional entertaining spaces within one of Canterbury's most desirable semi-rural settings. What the OwnersSay: One of the things that first drew us to this house was its remarkable ability to feel completely private and rural, whilst being just moments from everything Canterbury has to offer. Tucked away behind mature trees on Nackington Road, the property enjoys an enviable setting where you can wake up to birdsong, enjoy far-reaching green views and feel wonderfully removed from the pace of daily life, yet still reach the city centre in just a few minutes. The city centre lies approximately 1.5 miles away, placing Canterbury's extensive selection of shops, restaurants, cafés, theatres, cinemas, cultural attractions and everyday amenities within easy reach. The position adjacent to Canterbury Rugby club is handy and provides a real community hub, although being hidden by trees and hedges it means that we are particularly lucky to enjoy complete privacy around the pool, hot tub, patios and throughout our gardens in the summer. For families, the location is exceptional. Some of Kent's most highly regarded schools are nearby, making the morning school run refreshingly straightforward. Simon Langton Grammar School for Boys is situated virtually on the doorstep along Nackington Road, while Simon Langton Girls' Grammar School, The King's School, Kent College, St Edmund's School and several highly regarded primary schools are all within easy reach. The proximity to these prestigious educational establishments has always been one of the location's greatest assets. We are also within walking distance of the Chaucer Hospital, Kent & Canterbury Hospital and a GP surgery in Ethelbert Road. Transport connections are ideal, wi
