St Peters Lane, Canterbury, CT1

An iconic building, both from the street and as part of the roof top sky line of Canterbury, The White House must be one of the best looking city centre town houses.

After admiring the white painted facade of the four storey listed building, enter through the front door into a grand hall way with high ceilings and original features, these same high ceilings flow through the large door in to the main reception room. Flooded with natural light from either end thanks to oversize Georgian windows there is a feeling of space and grandeur.

With original shutters at the windows and proportions maintained as one climbs to the upper floors, it is clear the White House has much flexibility to offer. Proximity to the city centre, yet positioned in a no through road with theatre to the rear and arts hall and cinema to the front, the house in St Peters Lane has one of the most desirable addresses in the Canterbury

Each of the upper floors have double bedrooms and a large single all with en-suite bath or shower rooms. The top floor comprises the spacious main bedroom with a large en suite bathroom.

An additional room, accessed from a half landing is potentially one of the most flexible, currently used as a music room but double bedroom, cinema room or children's play room seem likely alternatives.

Very traditionally the kitchen, complete with box bay window (a great area to sit), is to the rear of the house, overlooking the courtyard garden and with access to the lower ground floor.

The lower ground floor has its own separate access and can certainly provide income potential, nanny housing or simply somewhere for teenagers to hide. Sub divided but may easily be reconnected,the current studio arrangement could surely make a desirable Airbnb , and was used for this purpose in the past.

The White House is in the heart of Canterbury, on street residents parking may be applied for and car parks are literally a stones throw from the house. Mainline high-speed rail links to London taking less than an hour are a short walk away and, positioned in what one may call the artistic quarter there is a theatre, art house cinema and numerous restaurants on your door step. The city is home to some of the most highly regarded fee paying, state and grammar schools as well as several universities, whilst the channel ports and connection to mainland Europe are within easy reach.
