4 bed detached house for sale

Chapel Lane, Blean, Canterbury, Kent CT2

This unique barn style property on the edge of Blean village was built by the current owners 18 years ago. It nestles in 2.99 acres of grounds including a large paddock and is located at the end of a long drive providing peace, tranquillity and seclusion with wonderful rural views.

The property is approached via electric wrought iron gates that open onto a vast gravel driveway providing off road parking. It is bordered by lawns, trees and shrub beds and provides access to the paddock, the double garage and adjoining office/studio and the front entrance with French doors to the Entrance Hall. This has three oak fronted cupboards as well as oak flooring and underfloor heating that flow throughout the property and opens into the stunning double height lounge/diner with a vaulted ceiling.

It includes 10 bi-fold doors to the rear decked terrace, a large dining area and a delightful seating area with a contemporary log burner. An oak and glass staircase leads up to the guest suite with stunning countryside views and a luxurious ensuite bathroom. Beyond the lounge area is a cloakroom and an study while double doors from the lounge open into an excellent family room with five bi-fold doors to a patio and porcelain flooring.

An inner hall with stairs to the principal suite and an understairs cupboard lead to two double bedrooms with ensuite showers and orchard views. The superb and well-equipped kitchen/breakfast room with attractive units and granite worktops houses a raft of high end appliances, has a bay window breakfast area with French doors to the terrace and has access to the separate utility room.

The principal bedroom suite includes a galleried landing with eaves storage, a dressing area with fitted cupboards, a double bedroom with delightful views and a sumptuous bathroom.

Outside the vast decked terrace is bordered by large lawns, impressive trees, shrubs and hedging. There is also an outdoor toilet, two brick dog kennels with runs, raised flower and herb beds and a secondary seating area adjacent to the orchard.

What the Owner says:
We absolutely adore our wonderful home in such a tranquil and secure location, but we are not isolated as we can walk to the main road with immediate access to a bus stop and local amenities. There is a Morrisons convenience store, an Outstanding primary school, a village hall and a gastropub. We are close to Kent University and two prominent private schools and near the Crab and Winkle Way for cycle rides and Blean Woods for country walks.

It is only five minutes' drive to Canterbury with its historical buildings, high street stores, individual shops, bars, restaurants, theatres, a cinema, grammar schools, universities and The Kings School. There are also two stations including Canterbury West where trains to St Pancras take under an hour. Alternatively we can be in Whitstable with its shops, harbour and famous oysters in 10 minutes while the nearby Gulbenkian theatre and cinema provides additional entertainment facilities.
