What the Owner says:
We moved here in 2009 as we wanted a family home close to Canterbury and good schools but providing us with a countryside feel. We have extended the property and completely refurbished it with a new kitchen, bathrooms, added the second floor and enjoyed creating the garden.
We love being close to Canterbury city centre with its high street stores, individual shops, restaurants and bars as well as the cinema, two theatres and a plethora of historic buildings. At the same time we can just as easily be walking in the nearby orchards or local countryside. The city includes excellent local grammar and faith schools that are also within walking distance as is Canterbury East station for trains to Victoria and Charing Cross and you can cycle in 10 minutes to Canterbury West station, where the fast train to St Pancras takes less than an hour. We are also close to the A2 for access to London, Dover and the Channel Tunnel.
There is also a leisure centre, golf course and the Polo Farm sports club as well as first class private schools and three universities and, because it is a university city, there are plenty of activities geared to young people and we always felt our teenage children were in a safe environment.
