Full property description
A striking semi-detached, four-bedroom, 1930s bay-fronted family home which has been creatively extended to offer almost 1,400 sq. ft. of spacious and versatile accommodation. Situated in a quiet cul-de-sac in the sought-after village of Blean, Highfield Close is also conveniently located just a few miles from the historic cathedral city of Canterbury and within reach of a number of excellent schools.
The propertys faade combines exposed brick and pale render, complemented by modern, double glazed, leaded light windows. The front door is set within an arched 1930s doorway, which opens into a spacious entrance hall with stairs to the first floor and a small cloakroom.
To the right, there is a charming bay-fronted sitting room featuring a wood-burning stove and bespoke alcove shelving. The hallway then opens into a partially open-plan kitchen and dining room, with oak flooring laid throughout. The kitchen features sleek gloss units with integrated appliances, while the dining area, which forms part of the extension, benefits from French doors that overlook the garden, allowing natural light to flood the space.
A utility area and shower room can be accessed from the kitchen, and the ground floor is further enhanced by a guest bedroom or study, offering flexibility to suit various needs.
On the first floor, a galleried landing leads to three generously sized double bedrooms and a well-appointed family bathroom. The bathroom features a shower over the bath, WC, and basin, all complemented by striking red metro-style tiles that add a modern touch.
OUTSIDE:
The rear garden is mainly laid to lawn and is enclosed by fencing, with a large, decked terrace running the full width of the house, easily accessible via the French doors in the dining area ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining.
To the front of the property, there is a driveway with an EV charger, and to the right, a pretty front garden with established shrubs adds to the propertys charm.
SITUATION:
Blean is a charming and peaceful village located in the heart of Kent, just a short distance from the historic city of Canterbury. Surrounded by beautiful countryside, Blean offers a tranquil setting with a strong community spirit. The property also borders Rough Common another attractive village known for its attractive surroundings and quiet atmosphere, it offers a perfect balance between rural tranquillity and easy access to the amenities of a larger town. The village itself features a range of charming homes, scenic countryside views, and a strong sense of community, making it an ideal place for families and professionals alike.
The nearby city of Canterbury, renowned for its UNESCO World Heritage status, is a short drive away and offers a wealth of history, culture, and shopping opportunities. The iconic Canterbury Cathedral is a must-visit landmark, and the city is also home to a wide variety of independent shops, restaurants, and cafes. The cobbled streets and picturesque medieval buildings create a charming setting, with cultural events, festivals, and theatre productions adding to the vibrant atmosphere. Canterbury offers a large selection of education which include a variety of academy, grammar and private schools, alongside three universities.
For those who enjoy outdoor activities, the coastal town of Whitstable is just a short drive away, offering beautiful beaches, scenic walks along the coastline, and a thriving maritime culture. Whitstable is famous for its oysters and has a selection of excellent seafood restaurants, as well as a range of boutique shops and art galleries. The town's relaxed vibe and lovely harbour make it a popular spot for both locals and visitors.
The area also boasts excellent transport links, with easy access to the A2 and mainline train stations in both Canterbury and Whitstable, offering direct routes to London in under an hour.
Additionally, the proximity to the countryside provides plenty of opportunities for outdoor pursuits, including cycling, hiking, and nature walks, making Rough Common a truly desirable location to call home.
