#TheGardenOfEngland

A rural smallholding or equestrian property situated on the edge of Blean off a country lane and offering excellent access to both Canterbury & Whitstable with their connections to the A2/M2. The property is set back from the road and includes a modern detached house with a south facing aspect, the base of a former windmill, useful outbuildings and barns together with beautiful pasture and woodland.

About 8.35 acres


Situation

Blean is conveniently located between Canterbury & Whitstable. Canterbury offers a wide range of recreational, educational, spiritual & shopping amenities and offers high speed HS 1 trains to London as well as connections to the A2/M2 motorway. Whitstable is an increasingly popular seaside town offering a range of amenities for the holiday maker or the weekend visitor. Kent University is nearby as are a wide choice of private and public schools for all ages.

The House & Old Mill

The house is understood to have been completed in about December 1984 and was later extended by adding the bedroom to the rear. The house provides comfortable accommodation and enjoys a delightful south facing aspect with an outlook down the field and across to the copse of trees. The house is considered to have further potential to be extended and interested parties will need to carry out their own investigations with Canterbury City Council.

The Old Mill which adjoins the Boot Room & Store of the house is understood to date to about 1890. It is currently used as an informal studio but it is felt that it may have potential to be used as a part of the accommodation of the house, subject to planning.

Gardens

There is a small garden area alongside the drive with a small pond whilst to the side and front of the house are further garden areas which are mainly laid to lawn.
Outbuildings
These include:
1) Double Garage – this is at the end of the drive, just off Tyler Hill Road.
2) Traditional Barn/Store – with possible conversion potential to an annexe.
3) Stables/Stores – 3 separate stores or small stables.

Barns

These lie to the side of the house and include 2 really useful small barns for hay or tractor/implement storage. They could also be used as lambing sheds.

Land

The land comprises 2 areas of pastureland divided by a copse of trees that were planted by the seller & her husband from 1990 onwards. They initially planted over 600 indigenous trees with further trees being planted later. The smaller parcel of pasture is immediately to the south of the house and provides part of a lovely outlook for the house to enjoy. To the west is a larger field with some young oak trees.
Right of Way

In addition to the main access into the property, the land benefits from an agricultural ‘right of way’ off Tyler Hill Road along the edge of the neighbouring property’s paddock.
