Saturday House occupies a delightful, tranquil setting at the end of Spring Lane, itself a no through road, within the picturesque community of Fordwich, recognised as England’s smallest town. Fordwich sits astride the River Stour, a chalk stream in its upper reaches, and retains an active church, the Michelin-starred restaurant The Fordwich Arms and the George & Dragon pub. Nearby is Sturry, with a variety of local amenities including doctors and dental surgeries, retail stores and supermarkets. Canterbury city centre is easily accessible and retains all the amenities, educational, cultural and recreational amenities associated with a major county city. Sporting and recreational pursuits include first class cricket in Canterbury, together with hockey at Polo Farm, sailing and other watersports along the coast, day trips to France via Eurotunnel and ferries, and pleasant walks along footpaths and bridleways in the surrounding countryside. From Canterbury’s two railway stations there is a regular service to several London stations, the high-speed train via Ashford reaching St Pancras in under an hour. The A28 and A2 facilitate rapid access to the M2 motorway. For channel crossings the port of Dover is about 13 miles and the Channel Tunnel terminal at Cheriton is about 22 miles distant.
