Location, location!

This was a real peculiarity, a well-equipped conversion of a fire station. Kitchen excellently equipped, lounge had some cupboards needing some TLC, but TV was fine, sofas comfy etc. Garden bedroom was fine, the upstairs one needs some steps added; the bath you need an inside leg measurement of 30” to get in or out and the beautiful glass sink takes a long time to empty, very stylish, not quite so practical. The wardrobe provides room and lots of hanging space but over 2m high (hence the stool comment). It is a short stroll to town, and we hardly used the car - easy parking for one, but tight for two cars - but we did it! The owner was a most pleasant gentleman, around but not at all intrusive.

Loved Cedar House

We decided to holiday locally after Covid-19 delayed our holiday by a year. Having not stayed in Kent before we picked Cedar House in Canterbury and I am so glad we did. Lovely modern home with enough space for 6 of us. Our girls were happy to share the upstairs room and loved the balcony and their own bathroom. We opted for the ground floor garden room which was lovely too. Well kitted our house with all we needed for our week. The house felt totally secluded and the little courtyard seemed completely private too. Would def recommend this property. The owners were helpful and piped over one evening to make sure all was ok.

Unique and Centrally Located

We very much enjoyed our stay in the Cedar House. It offers a unique floor plan, comfortable beds and rooms, and close proximity to the center of town. Although located on a busy street, it is somewhat sheltered from the noise. The shower is small but functional.

Perfect

It was a perfect holiday visit. The property is only a few minutes away from the city of canterbury. You can use the main road with some traffic or the side road and then you can use a little bridge over the trainway to get into the canterbury park. The house was fine, we will book it again if we make another trip to canterbury.

Why they chose this property

This is a truly unique property as there is no other like it in Canterbury.
I caught glimpses of Cedar House through the opened gates of the old fire station which we also bought at the same time. It was always a wish of mine to own an unusual property should ever the opportunity arose, which happened when the property came onto the market for sale. I came just to look but ended up buying it as it was such an amazing unique chance to own such an individual property.
