This three-bedroom house is a fine example of mid-century modern architecture. Designed by local architect Robert Paine it is set in a central and quiet position in Westbere, a leafy village four miles from the historic city of Canterbury and unfolds over a  split-level plan of approximately 2,174 sq ft. Vast expanses of glazing invite an excellent quality of light and frame views onto the surrounding countryside. A garden of almost half an acre wraps around the house and is laid out in external rooms - one with a swimming pool. The seaside towns of Whitstable and Margate are nearby; there is a direct rail link from Canterbury to London St Pancras in under an hour.
