It is quiet, secluded and private and we only have to open our back gate to be straight into the woodland but we can also be in Canterbury city centre within a few minutes. We thought it would be our 'forever' home and spent a year renovating it with that in mind. However we have decided to move abroad and hope that new owners will enjoy everything about this lovely family home.Canterbury is a wonderful city with historic buildings, high street stores, independent shops, restaurants, bars, two theatres and two stations.
