What the Owner says:

The property has been in our family for the past 24 years when it was purchased by our parents. They always loved the house and the location as it is so quiet and peaceful and you can wander down to the end of the garden and see the ducks on the river yet is only a short walk to Morrisons, Aldi and the retail park and only about a 10 minute stroll into Canterbury or you can take the bus. It is a very convenient side of Canterbury as you can get on the A2 for London or Dover in about a minute, while Wincheap provides a variety of individual shops, food outlets and pubs.

Canterbury is a wonderful city with a wide variety of historic UNESCO heritage site buildings, high street stores and individual shops, numerous restaurants, bars and the cinema as well as the Marlowe and Gulbenkian theatres and two stations including Canterbury West with the high speed train to St Pancras that will get you to London in less than an hour. There are also excellent grammar and private schools, three universities and a further education college and plenty of opportunities for sporting enthusiasts with the Kent cricket ground nearby as well as a golf club, sports club and swimming pool.
