Luxury Gated Studio between Canterbury and Whitstable, Beautiful Views.

The Den occupies the first floor of a standalone annex beside our main home. It is private, gated, and covered by area CCTV for added peace of mind. The space stays wonderfully warm in winter—helped by a heated bathroom floor—and pleasantly cool in summer thanks to two double windows and three Velux roof lights. Access is via an external staircase that opens onto beautiful views across our orchard and paddock, stretching out toward farmland and the Forest of Blean.
While we don’t allow cooking on site, we provide a microwave, toaster, fridge, and tea and coffee facilities for your convenience.
We have lived in Blean for most of our lives and are deeply involved in the local community. We love gardening, the outdoors, and environmental projects. Our home reflects these values, with solar power, an air source heat pump, and a rainwater harvesting system.
Location & Transport Canterbury West station is just 3.3 miles away, offering High Speed services to St Pancras International—with onward connections to Paris and Europe. Dover (ferry) and Folkestone (Eurotunnel) are also within easy reach for short trips across the Channel.
About Blean & the Surrounding Area Blean is known for its ancient woodland and the RSPB nature reserve. The Crab and Winkle Way, part of National Cycle Route 1, links Canterbury to Whitstable along the route of the world’s first passenger railway. Whitstable’s lively high street, beachfront, and famous oysters are close by, as is the historic cathedral city of Canterbury. Both are easily reached by bus, on foot, or by bicycle. The University of Kent is only a few miles away.
There is no shortage of places to eat in both Canterbury and Whitstable, and our village pub—The Hare, an award winning favourite—offers excellent food and a friendly, cosy atmosphere.
