“We fell in love with this unique property the moment we saw it. Although it needed renovating and modernising, we were happy to bring it back to its former glory. It has been a great family home for us to always come back to when we have been in the UK, however our needs have changed and we hope another family will be able to love it as much as we have.
It has always been said that location is the key to any property and if you can add character and history then you have the whole package. This is very well illustrated with this delightful home in the very heart of Canterbury. It’s a wonderful base for any visitors and tourists wanting to explore the delights of the city. However, if you live here full time it’s great to be able to stroll down the road to the shops, pubs and eateries as well as meeting friends and family for a coffee or a visit to the theatre without needing to take the car or even get on a bus. Walk 5 minutes in the other direction and you are in the countryside alongside the river and water meadows, with endless running, walking and cycling tracks. At the same time if you want to get to London the fast train from Canterbury West will transport you to St Pancras in under an hour and it is not far from the A2 for Dover and Folkestone for trips to the Continent.
As well as the cathedral there are a wide variety of other historic and interesting attractions to see including the Canterbury Norman Castle, the Canterbury Tales, St Augustine’s Abbey, Canterbury Heritage Museum, the Westgate, The Beaney House and the Canterbury Roman Museum. The city also has a wide variety of high street stores, individual shops and plenty of restaurants and bars as well as two mainline stations. It is home to two theatres, three universities and numerous state schools including three excellent grammar schools and a number of private schools such as the famous Kings School”.
