This four-bedroom family home in Blean presents a unique opportunity for those looking to invest or renovate. The property, which combines Victorian charm with later modern extensions, showcases notable character features such as exposed brickwork and traditional wooden latch key doors. With no forward chain, it is ready for a new owner to make it their own.
Spanning over 1,800 square feet across two levels, the flexible layout accommodates various living arrangements. Upon entering, you are greeted by an entrance hall that leads into a spacious sitting room, ideal for gatherings. A second reception room offers additional living space, complete with a log-burning effect gas stove—a perfect spot for cozy winter evenings. The adjoining kitchen/diner retains a cottage-like atmosphere with cream-colored units, ample storage, and a breakfast bar making it suitable for both casual dining and entertaining.
The potential for transformation is evident throughout the home. There is an expansive conservatory that opens into the back garden and could easily become part of an open-plan living area if desired. Additionally, the fourth reception room can also be reimagined as part of this larger space (subject to necessary regulations).
Upstairs features four well-sized double bedrooms alongside a family bathroom equipped with both a bath and shower. The primary bedroom has generous proportions allowing space for larger furnishings while providing built-in storage across all rooms.
Outside, the property enjoys a private rear garden laid to lawn, complemented by brick-built storage solutions and access to nearby playing fields associated with The University of Kent. This outdoor space offers opportunities for landscaping or gardening enthusiasts. Conveniently situated near local amenities—including shops and schools—this location is particularly appealing to families given its proximity to the highly-rated Blean Primary School and several independent secondary institutions like Kent College Senior School.
Blean itself benefits from excellent transport links to Canterbury city center and beyond, including easy access to the A2/M2 routes and just a 25-minute walk to Canterbury West Station offering quick connections to London. Nature lovers will appreciate immediate access to beautiful woodlands and the Crab and Winkle Way—a favored path among cyclists and walkers alike.
This property’s blend of historical charm and substantial renovation potential makes it an attractive investment opportunity in an enviable location.
