What the Owner says:

We have thoroughly enjoyed living here for the past 22 years as it is very quiet and peaceful and safe for our pets. We have loved developing the garden over the years and have been delighted to recently upgrade the property to a very high level, but we now need to downsize.
St Nicholas at Wade includes an excellent primary school, two pub/restaurants, a church, village shop and post office. The village hall hosts weekly events while cricket and football are played on the Bell Meadow recreation ground. There is a regular bus service and we are only three miles from Birchington with its restaurants, shops, secondary schools, beaches and sports clubs, while fast trains from Manston Parkway station can whisk you to St Pancras in about an hour and a quarter.
