What the Owner says:
We moved here 15 years ago as we loved the house, the large garden and the privacy coupled to easy access to Canterbury city centre and excellent education facilities. At the same time we are only a stone's throw from fields and woodlands where we can go for country walks.

The city includes historic buildings, high street stores and individual shops, bars and restaurants together with excellent grammar schools and world renowned private schools, three universities, two hospitals and a variety of sports clubs. There are two stations with the fast train from Canterbury West whisking you to St Pancras in under an hour as well as easy access to the A2, Dover and the Channel Tunnel.
