What the Owner says:

We moved here 20 years ago as the location is ideal as, being at the end of a cul-de-sac, it is very quiet, peaceful and safe for children and pets. The additional land means the children have plenty of space to run around and it can also be home to a variety of animals. In recent years we have extended and upgraded the property providing an upmarket contemporary and spacious family home.
Rough Common is nearby with its convenience store and post office. We are also close to the A2 and not far from Canterbury West station with high speed trains to St Pancras taking less than an hour. Canterbury includes historic buildings, high street stores, individual shops, eateries and three theatres as well as three universities, excellent grammar schools and top class private schools, while nearby Blean primary school is rated Outstanding by Ofsted.
