Chapel Lane, Blean

A beautifully presented family home, located in the incredibly desirable village of Blean on the outskirts of Canterbury. This superb home is deceptively spacious and must be viewed to appreciate the wealth of accommodation on offer. There is an abundance of period features throughout and the current owners have ensured that renovations have been aesthetically in keeping with the age of the property which dates back to the 1840s and importantly, the property is not within a conservation area or listed. On approach, the property is set back from the road and has a driveway to the front allowing parking for three cars. Upon entry, the porch leads through to two reception rooms. The dual aspect living room has attractive stripped wooden floorboards and beautiful exposed brick walls and chimney breast with log burner. The dining area leads through to the generous modern fitted kitchen which benefits from an array of cream wall and fitted floor units and contrasting black granite work surfaces. There is a wonderful Rangemaster oven and integrated dishwasher. Furthermore, to the rear of the property is a useful utility room with sink, downstairs cloak room and ample room for laundry appliances. Continuing along the hallway, a large third reception room has high ceilings and large windows allowing natural light to fill the room. There are glorious views overlooking the rear garden and scope to extend the house subject to planning. There is a loft hatch leading up into one of the large loft spaces, currently ideal for storage purposes. On the first floor there are three good size double bedrooms and a family bathroom with white fitted suite. A second loft hatch with pull down ladder gives access to a spacious loft which has been part boarded and has light. Outside, there is the most idyllic, well established garden with a variety of mature plants, shrubs and trees giving a real sense of seclusion. The current owners have created, designed and built a lovely outdoor seating area with a brick built pizza oven to enjoy. A fantastic addition to the property is the large detached double garage with a staircase rising to the first floor office space with large Velux windows. The garage itself has power and light and has a workshop area. There is great potential for an excellent conversion that would make an ideal annex or detached dwelling for those who work from home. From the road, a long driveway leads down the side of the property giving vehicular access and more additional parking in front of the garages. The property has double glazing throughout and gas fired central heating.
Blean has become one of the most sought after villages in the area, in part due to the excellent primary school rated outstanding by Ofsted. Blean has some of the most ancient woodlands in Kent, perfect for dog walking. The local community has use of a doctors surgery, primary school and general stores. Centrally located, the coast is only a 15 minute drive to the very fashionable town of Whitstable and close proximity to the historic city of Canterbury which benefits from the HS1 high speed service to London St. Pancras in under 58 minutes.
