Situation
TThe property is just a short distance from the centre of Barham, which boasts an excellent Primary School, Post Office / Village Store, Public House/Restaurant, Bowls Club, active Village Hall and historic Church. Barham forms part of the picturesque Elham Valley, at the heart of the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty over which there is a wealth of walks, rides and cycle routes. A regular bus service runs through the centre of the village giving easy access to the cathedral city of Canterbury to the north; whilst to the south lies the Channel Tunnel town of Folkestone and the ancient Cinque Port town of Hythe on the coast. All of which offer a wide range of shopping, recreational and educational facilities, together with high-speed mainline train services to London St Pancras. Nearby cross channel services, along with the Channel Tunnel, provide easy access into Europe.
