This Grade II listed property is the true meaning of the phrase ‘glow up’.

The detached five-bedroom house in Canterbury was neglected and left to become a derelict building until the current owners bought it in 2015 and turned it into a stunning Georgian home.

The property, now on the market for £2m, was originally built in 1839. After it had fallen into disarray, the current owners constructed the new interior inside a steel structure.

The house is now a unique blend of modern and traditional, having been turned into a new build interior within the frame of a Grade II listed building.

There is still plenty of character, with nods to the building’s history such as the 150-year-old wood panelling, Georgian arched sash windows and black stone flooring.

However, the house is now fitted with everything you would need for a high-end, modern-day family home.

There are five bedrooms, including a large master bedroom with its own dressing room and cloakroom; five bathrooms, one of which boasts a Kohler stone bath; and a living room with doors leading out to the terrace.

There are also a number of additional contemporary features such as an outdoor hot tub, two parking spaces with an EV charging point, and a fitted kitchen with Brazilian quartz covered worktop and a Lacanche cooker.

The garden is a great size for the city, with a well-maintained courtyard, Indian paved terrace and flower and shrub beds.

The house is only a short walk from the main shopping district, both Canterbury East and Canterbury West train stations and landmarks such as Canterbury Cathedral.

This property can be found at St. Johns Place in Canterbury.
