What the Owners Say: When we first decided to build our home, the main attraction was the location. This part of Woodnesborough offers a rare blend of rural calm, village charm and exceptional access to some of Kent’s most desirable destinations. Living here has given us the best of all worlds: countryside views, peaceful surroundings and the convenience of being moments from thriving towns, beautiful coastline and excellent transport links.
One of the greatest advantages has been the proximity to Sandwich, just a short drive away. It’s a wonderfully historic Cinque Port town with medieval streets, independent shops, cafés, restaurants and riverside walks. Whether popping in for essentials, enjoying lunch by the quay or exploring its heritage, Sandwich has always felt like an extension of home.
Just a short distance from the property, Sandwich offers some of the finest golf in the country. The world‑renowned Royal St George’s Golf Club, host to multiple Open Championships, provides an extraordinary links experience with sweeping coastal views and a course celebrated for its heritage and challenge. Nearby Prince’s Golf Club offers 27 beautifully maintained links holes, blending championship pedigree with a welcoming atmosphere, while Royal Cinque Ports in Deal delivers another exceptional coastal course favoured by serious golfers. Having three elite clubs within such easy reach has made this location a true haven for golf enthusiasts, with world‑class facilities and unforgettable scenery just moments from home.
For a change of pace, Canterbury is easily reached. The city offers everything, premium shopping, theatre, fine dining, cultural attractions and of course the iconic cathedral. It’s been our go‑to for days out, family trips and evenings in the city.
We’ve also loved how close we are to the Thanet coastline. Within a short drive you can reach the sandy beaches of Deal, Broadstairs, Ramsgate and Margate. Whether it’s summer days on the beach, coastal walks or enjoying the vibrant seaside atmosphere, having the coast so accessible has been a real lifestyle benefit.
The surrounding villages add even more charm. Ash, just minutes away, offers local shops, pubs and a friendly community feel. Woodnesborough itself is peaceful and picturesque, with countryside walks right on the doorstep, something we’ve appreciated daily.
Schooling has also been a major advantage. There are excellent primary and secondary options nearby, including well‑regarded schools in Sandwich, Ash and the wider district. For families, the convenience and quality of education in the area is a real strength.
Despite the rural setting, travel has been incredibly easy. Sandwich station provides direct links to London, making commuting or visiting the capital straightforward. Road connections are equally strong, with routes to Canterbury, Dover, Thanet and beyond all close by.
Living here has given us a lifestyle that feels both relaxed and connected, countryside tranquillity with everything we need within easy reach.
