Description

This four-bedroom home offers substantial potential for renovation or investment and is set in the tranquil hamlet of Bladbean, surrounded by the picturesque landscape of the Elham Valley. The property is accessed via a charming tree-lined driveway that adds to its appeal. With mature gardens featuring private seating areas, the outdoor space provides a serene environment for relaxation. Built around the 1930s, this property showcases a farmhouse-style kitchen and breakfast room that serves as a welcoming central hub for family gatherings. Adjacent to the kitchen is a utility room and convenient WC, both of which could benefit from modern updates. The spacious living room features an impressive fireplace with a wood-burning stove and large windows, providing ample natural light while offering access to a sun terrace through central French doors. A wide opening leads into the dining room, complemented by a snug area ideal for quiet evenings. On the upper floor, you will find four bedrooms—each featuring built-in wardrobes and varying layouts suitable for personal customization. The main bedroom boasts an en-suite shower room with twin basins, while the remaining bedrooms share access to a family bathroom. Additionally, there is attic space that can be utilized or converted further to increase living area. The exterior includes a detached garage along with additional storage space currently used as a games room and boot room. Notably, planning permission was previously granted (Ref: Y18/1616/FH - 2018-12-24) for an outbuilding with accommodation potential; though this has since lapsed, it indicates favorable conditions for future development. Positioned conveniently about 2.5 miles from Elham village—which offers local amenities such as shops, schools, and public houses—this home is also just 7-8 miles from Canterbury and Folkestone. Both towns provide excellent transport links to London and are known for their strong educational facilities. With its blend of character, potential for enhancement, and appealing location amidst beautiful countryside, this property serves as an excellent opportunity for those looking to invest or create their ideal family home.
