What the Owner says:
We bought this house six years ago as we thought the position was ideal but feel it is time for us to downsize. During our time here we have significantly renovated the interior and updated the power and heating with solar panels, battery and heat pumps that power the entire property. We also had plans passed for a front porch if a new owner wishes to go further.
Upstreet includes a village shop/post office and there are wonderful walks along the river to the Stodmarsh Nature Reserve and you can enjoy a meal at the Grove Ferry Inn. There is a bus stop at the end of the road that can take you to Canterbury within 10 minutes and Sturry station for the fast train to St Pancras is only a short drive.
