This spacious residence was built in 2001 to compliment both the barn conversions and neighbouring Grade II listed farmhouse, to form a charming courtyard development set within a conservation area. The property is presented to a high standard throughout and benefits from a surrounding garden, double garage and ample parking to the front. MAIN HOUSE The main house is accessed via a large solid oak door which opens on to a double height dining hall with French doors providing access to the garden. This is an impressive space, flooded with natural light and links to both the sitting room, study/bedroom 5 and kitchen/breakfast room. The sitting room with wood burner leads to a lovely wood conservatory which provides a fully glazed space in which to enjoy the garden. The kitchen/breakfast room is a generous space and is fitted with bespoke solid wood painted units, this in turn links with a generous boot/utility room, cloakroom and walk in pantry. The first floor accommodation is accessed via a staircase which leads to a galleried landing. This light filled space provides views over the courtyard and the original hop barn wheel, located above the front door, can be seen clearly. There is also a hatch providing access via an installed ladder to a half-boarded loft space. From this landing there are four double bedrooms including a spacious principal bedroom suite with excellent storage and ensuite shower room. All the bedrooms have good storage and views either over the courtyard or garden to the rear. All of the accommodation is presented to a high standard having been well maintained and cared for. All of the internal doors, double glazed windows and conservatory frame are manufactured from sustainable British Columbian Pine. The entrance doors to the front and side are solid oak. There is a water softener installed in the cloakroom and a B&O sound system wired throughout the property. We’ve also been advised by our vendor that a good broadband service is available to the property with speeds of up to 30Mb. GROUNDS AND GARDENS The property is approached off Church Road through a walled entrance which in turn leads to an expansive gravelled courtyard parking and turning area. From here, there is external access to the boot/utility room and also gated access on both sides of the house to the partially walled gardens to the rear and side of the property. These have been landscaped to provide a Japanese garden, paved seating areas and vegetable garden, all of which have views of the pretty church spire. There are two garages in the adjacent building which were originally the former dairy. SURROUNDING AREAS The property sits in a Conservation Area at the edge of the village, which has a primary school, village hall, church and playing field. Local amenities are available in the nearby villages of Upstreet and Broomfield, whilst wider facilities are available in either Herne Bay or Canterbury, which offers a modern shopping centre, choice of schools in both the public and private sectors (including Junior King’s at Milner Court, Sturry), colleges and universities, together with a variety of restaurants. SPORT AND LOCAL AMENITIES Sporting and recreational opportunities in the area include golf at Scotland Hill’s, the renowned Polo Farm sports centre on the Littlebourne Road offering hockey, tennis, cricket and croquet, together with county cricket at St Lawrence cricket ground, all of which are available at Canterbury. There is also sailing on the coast, with Herne Bay being within easy reach and pleasant walks and rides over various footpaths in the local vicinity. East Blean Nature Reserve can be found nearby, along with a cycle track for BMX bikes at Broomfield. The adjacent village of Maypole even has its own airfield.

  • The Blean Active Break
    Active Canterbury’s Woodland An Active Break in... The Blean Canterbury’s Ancient Woodland This Country Break explores the woodlands and villages of The Blean, the area of ancient woodland between; Canterbury, Faversham, Whitstable, Herne Bay and the Marshes of Thanet. Woodlands form the heart of The Blean covering over 3,000 hectares and it remains as one of the most extensive woodlands in the south east of England. This is ancient woodland and is particularly rich and diverse in wildlife, so much so that large areas are specially protected as Nature Reserves or Sites of Special Scientific Interest. The Blean's very nature makes it superb for plenty of outdoor activities, but it really is a walking haven, But cyclists aren't forgotten here either with not only the Crab & Winkle way (part of National Cycle Route 1), but also plenty of great rides through the woods and beyond to the coast. There are a number of routes allowing you to discover many of the less well known parts of the Blean too and you don't need to provide your own bikes, local company Canterbury Cycle Hire provides a range of bikes for all needs. You can hire a bike per hour, day or week, one way or return to any of their hubs in Canterbury, Whitstable and Herne Bay. Find out more at www.theblean.co.uk Oak leaves 1 An Active Break This break is based on exploring the Blean by bike, which you can hire from Canterbury Cycle Hire in Canterbury, Herne Bay or Whitstable.
