What the Owner says:

This has been our family home for the almost eight years, we fell in love with the character of the property and the stunning views of the downs and surrounding vineyards. Being elevated above the rooftops of the village gives the property a real sense of privacy and tranquillity with a rich array of birds and wildlife on constant display. These views are what drew us in and have been an amazing experience across the years, but the time has come to move on due to our family starting to fly the nest and commuting times to work. The village has a primary school with a Good Ofsted rating, a Grade I listed church, cricket club and the village hall that offer a wide variety of community activities/clubs, as well as several pubs/restaurants in walking or cycling distance. There is a nearby garden centre, and it is not far to Lower Hardres where you will find a farm shop. A regular bus goes into Canterbury with its historic buildings , shops, restaurants and entertainment, and outstanding state and private schools as well as three universities, two theatres, Polo Farm Sports club plus several golf clubs and Bursted Manor Riding Centre with off road riding in the 440 acres of Lyminge Forest. Canterbury West will whisk you to St Pancras in under an hour and the Continent is within easy reach via the Channel Tunnel and Dover.
