Woodman's Cottage, Blean

Woodsman’s Cottage is a Grade II listed building dating back to the 1800s and was the home the woodcutter of Blean woods. Now beautifully restored and decorated by the owners, it is an elegant country holiday home with all the comforts of a modern house and all the character of an historic building. The cottage is set in a third of an acre of garden, with a side and back patio, lawns and a hot tub. Close by you can enjoy a walk through ancient woodland, and there are five trails to explore, including an eight mile wander through mature oak trees, and the historic Crab & Winkle Way which runs from Whitstable to Canterbury and passes close to the cottage. Woodman’s Cottage has everything you need for a comfortable stay, including two sitting rooms, one with a dining table, and both with wood burners. A lovely kitchen overlooking the garden, and large downstairs shower room. Upstairs are two good sized bedrooms both with Kingsize beds and a Jack and Jill bathroom. The location of the house is also perfect as it is between the vibrant coastal town of Whitstable with its working harbour, art galleries, cafes and restaurants; and the medieval City of Canterbury with its iconic cathedral, cobbled streets, museums and modern shopping centre. Nearer to home – there is a pub, The Royal Oak is a few hundred yards away and a Morrisons about half a mile away.
