Summary - 36 WHITSTABLE ROAD BLEAN CANTERBURY CT2 9EB
4 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
Spacious character home with large garden, driveway and direct access to university playing fields.
Four double bedrooms across two floors
This substantial four-double-bedroom semi-detached home sits tucked back from Whitstable Road in desirable Blean, offering over 1,800 sq ft of versatile living and direct access to the University of Kent playing fields. The original Victorian core and later extension give the house abundant period character — exposed brickwork, traditional doors and a warm, cottage-like kitchen — combined with practical additions such as a large conservatory and multiple reception rooms.
The layout suits a growing family: generous ground-floor living, utility room and a downstairs bathroom provide day-to-day convenience, while upstairs offers four double bedrooms and a family bathroom. Outside there’s a wide gravel driveway with off-street parking for several cars, a private lawned garden, storage outbuildings and a back gate onto green open space and the Crab and Winkle Way.
The location is a genuine asset. It’s a short walk to Blean Primary School (Ofsted Outstanding), close to nurseries and within easy reach of Canterbury’s independent schools, public transport and the seaside at Whitstable. Low local crime, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal add modern comfort to the village setting.
The house does require updating and some renovation work to realise its full potential; walls are original solid brick (likely without modern insulation) and some finishes are dated. Buyers should budget for refurbishment to modernise heating, electrics or joinery where needed. Sold freehold with no forward chain, it’s an attractive project for families seeking space, character and easy access to excellent local schools and green amenities.
