Location: This charming property is situated within a conservation area in the picturesque village of Womenswold. Located between Canterbury and Dover, this small parish combines historical character with the natural beauty of the North Downs. Womenswold is part of a cluster of settlements that includes Woolage Green and Woolage Village, forming a quiet, close-knit community surrounded by farmland and ancient woodland. Its rural setting makes it ideal for walkers and cyclists, with access to a network of footpaths, bridleways, and scenic routes like the North Downs Way. The village itself is steeped in history, with origins tracing back to the Domesday Book. Its most notable landmark is the Church of St. Margaret, a Grade II* listed building that showcases Norman architectural features and stands as a testament to the area's rich heritage. Canterbury lies just 7.5 miles away with its excellent shopping centre and fantastic choice of private and public schools and famous universities and colleges. Transport connections are also good with easy access to the A2 and nearby Aylesham train station or travel to Canterbury West train station where it operates the high speed train to London St. Pancras.
