Recently refurbished in 2023, this stunning residence combines modern luxury with classic charm, boasting flexible and beautifully presented accommodation across three floors. Situated within Canterbury’s city walls and in a conservation area, Blackman House is just steps away from the historic city centre and the vibrant King’s Mile, known for its boutique shops, cafés, and eateries. The High Street, with its diverse range of independent retailers and major stores, is also close by, along with excellent dining, cultural venues, theatres, and a cinema. Canterbury offers outstanding educational options, including the Simon Langton grammar schools, The King’s School, St Edmund’s School, and Kent College.

The rear bedroom is complemented by an adjoining study or dressing room with access to the garden, offering a private retreat. The main living area is located on the first floor, where you’ll find a breathtaking vaulted sitting room complete with a wood-burning stove. French doors lead to a deck/balcony, creating a seamless connection to the outdoors. The adjoining kitchen/breakfast room, with its striking blue cabinetry and well-appointed breakfast bar, also opens to the deck, allowing for easy indoor-outdoor flow, perfect for entertaining or relaxing.

The principal bedroom, situated at the front of the house, is a true highlight. It features a large bay window, fitted wardrobes, and an elegant en suite bathroom with a separate shower and a stunning freestanding green bath, exuding luxury and style. On the second floor, a large bedroom with rooftop views is found at the front of the house, while another bedroom sits at the rear. These two bedrooms share a beautifully designed shower room. Overlooking the sitting room is a gallery, currently used as a dining area, offering a unique and versatile space.

At the rear of the property, double wooden doors open to a secure courtyard garden with parking for up to three cars. The block-paved courtyard offers flexibility, allowing the parking area to expand or contract as needed. The walled garden provides a peaceful and secluded space to unwind, complete with a summer house for additional relaxation or entertaining.
