Seller Insight

We moved here 30 years ago as we loved the semi-rural position surrounded by fields and the Kent countryside. While it will be a bit of a wrench to leave particularly as we have such delightful neighbours but we feel it is now time for us to downsize. During our time here we have replaced all the windows for easy maintenance and put in oak veneered doors throughout the property as well as updating the kitchen and conservatory where we thoroughly enjoy sitting. The area is a great place to go for walks as there is a nearby footpath that takes you straight into fields.

We are on the outskirts of the village of Lower Hardres in an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty that includes a village hall where a number of activities regularly take place. There is the delightful Granville pub and restaurant nearby where you could stroll down to for a sumptuous Sunday lunch as well as an award winning farm shop. For those who enjoy the sound of willow on leather the house is not far from the Street End cricket club. Alternatively cricket fans can watch their favourite players at the nearby St Lawrence cricket ground, home of Kent County Cricket.

The house is only five minutes’ drive from Canterbury with its UNESCO world heritage site historic buildings, high street stores and individual shops, theatres, universities, bars and restaurants as well as two mainline stations and the high speed rail that will whisk you to London in under an hour. There is also an excellent choice of Outstanding primary, grammar and private schools as well as three universities. While, for sporting enthusiasts, there is the Roundwood Hall Golf Club along Stone Street or the Canterbury Golf club and Polo Farm Sports club on the outskirts of the city. If you enjoy horses, there is also the Bursted Manor riding centre and excellent rides in the 440 acres of Lyminge forest. If you want to go further afield it is very easy to get to the A2 for London or Dover and Folkestone for trips to the Continent.”*
