“Dorrington” is the epitome of the enduring old English styling and character enviably situated in a beautiful tree-lined, quiet family-friendly Canterbury cul-de-sac, in the Maling Road precinct. Surrounded by many classic period homes typical of the area and the era. Highlighted by a clinker brick façade with high roof lines, shutters and dormer windows it has an immediate street presence. This charming family home graces a generous lush neatly maintained garden allotment of 662sqm approx. and features subtle preserved period attributes, including decorative ceilings and a coloured glass stairwell window, sympathetically blending with the renovated and recently refurbished family living and entertaining spaces.

Other features include an alarm, ducted heating, R/C air conditioner (living and upstairs), overhead fans (upstairs bedrooms), three gasFPs, ample storage including roof plus a remote garage/storage and off-street parking.

The undoubted appeal of this family home is underpinned by its enviable, tightly held location in one of Canterbury’s prettiest tree-lined avenues.

Also close to Canterbury Station plus Camberwell or Surrey Hills shopping options, Boroondara Park and the Outer Circle trails - all reinforcing its undeniable future family lifestyle appeal.
