SITUATION:

Bluebell Avenue is situated less than four miles from the historic cathedral city of Canterbury, surrounded by picturesque Kentish countryside and connected by a network of scenic footpaths and bridleways. These rural trails link to nearby villages such as Wickhambreaux and Ickham, both rich in character and home to highly regarded country pubs. Littlebourne offers a range of everyday amenities, including a shop with post office, Ivy Barn coffee and farm shop, a doctors surgery, an outstanding primary school, a village church, and a popular pub.

Wickhambreaux is a quintessential English village centred around a pretty green and flanked by period cottages, a historic mill, and the beautiful Church of St Andrew. The Rose Inn, a charming Grade II-listed pub, is a local favourite known for its excellent food and welcoming atmosphere. Wickhambreaux also has a well-regarded primary school and an active village community.

Ickham, just a short stroll across the fields, is equally charming, with a mix of traditional architecture, peaceful lanes, and the popular Duke William pub, offering high-quality dining in a relaxed setting. Nearby Wingham adds further convenience with a broader range of services including shops, cafes, restaurants, pubs, a dental practice, and another respected primary school.
