For Sale3 Bedroom Detached House in Herne Common, Canterbury, Kent Ct6 7jy£800,000

We moved here 13 years ago because we wanted the space to be able to exercise our dogs in a peaceful and quiet environment. It has been a wonderful home but circumstances now mean a move into something smaller but still in the same neighbourhood. Herne is a friendly village with a 14th century church and an excellent village hall where a number of activities take place on a regular basis. We have The Smugglers, an award winning pub as well as a convenience store and post office. The Curious Cat pub is also nearby as is a large garden centre and we are just two minutes from the Wildwood animal park and small industrial park with a variety of unusual businesses. We are within easy reach of the Thanet Way for Canterbury and London and only a short drive from Herne Bay with its beach and wide variety of bars and restaurants.  This Georgian town also includes an historic pier if you are looking for a little beach front entertainment, while the town centre includes pedestrian walkways with individual shops, cafes and pubs. You can enjoy the coastline, nature and wildlife on walking and cycling trails through the Reculver coastal park. For water sport enthusiasts there is sailing and jet skiing and golfing aficionados can enjoy the nearby Whitstable and Seasalter or the Chestfield golf clubs. There are some good primary schools including Herne Primary, rated by Ofsted as Outstanding, as well as the Herne Bay High school and a number of grammar and first class private schools are within half an hour's drive in Canterbury, while commuters can catch the train from Herne Bay station and be in London in less than an hour and a half or drive to Canterbury where the fast train can whisk you to St Pancras in 54 minutes.
