Freistehendes Haus Mit 4 Schlafzimmern Zum Verkauf In Canterbury

What the owners say: ”Although the setting offers complete peace and rural tranquillity, its convenience is exceptional. Canterbury’s vibrant city centre is just a five‑minute drive away, while Sturry station, with high‑speed services to London,  is only a minute’s stroll from the front door. It is the rare combination of countryside calm and effortless connectivity that has made living here such a pleasure.

We have truly loved our time in this home, carefully refurbishing it over recent years so that the next owners can simply step inside, put the kettle on, and relax. One of the most significant upgrades was the installation of a new Norfolk reed thatched roof just five years ago, a beautiful, traditional feature with a lifespan of more than half a century.

The annexe has been an outstanding asset. It has allowed family and friends to stay in comfort and privacy, while also providing a valuable source of income through holiday lets and long‑term tenants.

Fordwich itself is a delight,  officially the smallest town in England, complete with its own historic town hall. The town is rich in character, with charming period buildings and the River Stour meandering through its centre. Two exceptional pubs, the Michelin‑starred Fordwich Arms and the George & Dragon, are both within an easy walk, perfect for evenings when you prefer to dine out without driving.

Just a short walk away in neighbouring Sturry, you’ll find a Co‑op, pharmacy, post office, hairdresser, and highly regarded schools, including the King’s School Junior and Sturry Primary, rated Outstanding by Ofsted. A nearby bus stop and main road offer direct routes into Canterbury and onward to the Thanet towns.

For lovers of the outdoors, the area is a haven. There are beautiful walks for dog owners, peaceful spots for fishing along the river, and the nearby Westbere Lakes, which offer opportunities for sailing as well as angling.”
