4 Bedroom Detached House For Sale In Canterbury

What the Owners Say: We bought this superb property some 23 years ago as we absolutely loved the location with wonderful views, a quiet and peaceful environment yet close enough to the village amenities not to feel isolated. Over the years we have completely renovated and refurbished the property to become a gorgeous family home and have wonderful memories of our life here, however we now plan to downsize and have a property ready to move into.

As well as the opportunity to create an annexe, if a new family have equine interests, they could turn part of the rear garden back into a paddock and build stables. As we literally abut the edge of the Minnis it is possible to ride out of our gate straight onto the Minnis and enjoy a hack without ever having to go on the road.
