Home of the Day – ‘The Charterhouse’, Pentland Homes
The WhatHouse? team reports on our current favourite home for sale – today, we pick ‘The Charterhouse’, a characterful three-bedroom house at Saxon Fields, a development from Pentland Homes on the south-western fringe of Canterbury in Kent.
On Plot 191, this is a detached house with a ‘wow factor’ from first sight thanks to design inspired by the Art Deco architecture of the early 20th century, but with a thoroughly modern feel inside and out. Space is a big plus, with a very generous 1,423 sq ft of living space over two floors. There’s a large, welcoming hallway off which are the downstairs WC, storage cupboards and dual-aspect living room with a feature fireplace in a glazed bay. At the rear of the home is the open-plan kitchen/dining/family room with island sink/worktop. There is a lot of natural light through large windows and glazed doors to the rear garden. Upstairs comes a real luxury touch: there are two double bedrooms at the rear, each with their own en suite shower room, and the master bedroom at the front has a dressing area and its own en suite with separate bath and shower. Priced at £535,000 and able to be purchased through Help to Buy, this home comes with a garage and two private parking spaces.
Saxon Fields is a 111-acre scheme comprising 750 new homes within easy reach of the city centre and delightful open countryside and coast. Close by are shops and a new school, while the historic city has an excellent range of places to shop, eat and have fun. It also has a host of highly regarded and well-ranked schools and universities for pupils and students of all ages. Canterbury has excellent transport links, including a High Speed rail link to Ashford International (16 minutes), Stratford International, Ebbsfleet International and London St Pancras International (56 minutes). In addition, Dover is only a 24-minute drive away and Gatwick Airport is only an hour and 16 minutes away.

The architectural style of homes at Saxon Fields and variety of typologies on offer means there is something for everyone, from first time buyers, professionals, growing families to downsizers.”
