Pear Tree House

About this property

Pear Tree House is a pleasant pet-friendly house nestled in Canterbury, Kent. Perfect for families or friends seeking a relaxing base with their four-legged friend, this abode features off-road parking for two cars, and enclosed garden. Step through the front door and into a well-presented hallway, where soft lighting and tasteful décor set a welcoming tone. The sitting room invites you to sink into one of two plush recliner sofas, ideal for unwinding whilst watching a film. Continue through to the conservatory, a bright and airy space that doubles as a dining room, perfect for sharing meals or playing board games as the sun sets.

The kitchen is thoughtfully appointed, offering everything needed to whip up delicious dishes, from morning toast to evening roasts, with a handy utility area tucked away for laundry essentials. A cloakroom adds convenience on the ground floor, while the main bathroom upstairs provides a tranquil space to soak in the tub or refresh under the shower. As you ascend the carpeted staircase, a sense of comfort continues into the sleeping quarters. The master double bedroom boasts its own en-suite shower room, while two further doubles and a single bed offer flexible sleeping arrangements for all party makeups. Each room is tastefully styled, with soft furnishings and ample storage to make you feel right at home.

Outside, the enclosed rear garden offers a lawn and patio area, ideal for alfresco lunches or a quiet morning coffee. A local shop and welcoming pub are just a short stroll away, while a nearby lake offers a peaceful spot for a waterside walk. Canterbury itself is a treasure trove of heritage and charm, with its majestic cathedral, winding lanes, and independent eateries waiting to be explored. A scenic drive leads to Whitstable, where you can sample fresh oysters, browse artisan shops, and watch the boats bob along the harbour. Herne Bay offers a traditional seaside escape, complete with a Victorian pier, colourful beach huts and family-friendly amusements.

For nature lovers, the Kent Downs National Landscape is within easy reach, promising sweeping views, woodland trails, and picnic spots among rolling hills. Choose 32 Abbey Gardens for a well-positioned and beautifully presented base in the heart of Kent.

Dominating the city skyline, the cathedral at Canterbury is the oldest in England, and along with the castle and quaint cobbled streets, draws visitors back time and again to its history, heritage and culture. Cosmopolitan restaurants, vibrant nightclubs and traditional pubs perch along the main streets or down narrow lanes, along with both high street shops and independent retailers. Travelling by foot is an excellent way of exploring the city, with walking trails and guided walks allowing visitors to discover winding streets and hidden corners, all with their own unique identity. By taking a boat trip along the River Stour, you can appreciate Canterbury's historic architecture and enjoy outstanding scenic views. From the frequent fairs and festivals to tempting food and drink events, Canterbury offers something for everyone throughout the year. For those wishing to enjoy the sea, Herne Bay and Whitstable are less than 8 miles away, while the attractions of inland Kent can also be easily reached.
