Description
We have lived in this wonderful home for 47 years and have thoroughly enjoyed our time here. We shall really miss Worth village - it has been a wonderful place to live and bring up a family, with a welcoming and friendly community. There is so much on our doorstep - within a few minutes walk, there are two popular and distinctly different inns, both offering great food and a lovely ambience. We are surrounded by the wonderful Kentish countryside, and have enjoyed many delightful walks through nearby apple orchards and across the newly developed RSPB nature reserve - a birdwatchers paradise! The beach at Sandwich Bay is also just a 20 minute stroll away.
Despite the secluded rural setting, we have never felt isolated - by car, the delightful towns of Sandwich and Deal are only a short distance away, and getting to Dover, Canterbury, as well as the Thanet coastal towns can be done in less than 20 minutes. Travelling to London is also straightforward - the high-speed line from Sandwich arrives in London in under an hour and a half. It has been wonderful to enjoy the tranquillity of village life, but still be able to enjoy the great culture, history and entertainment this area offers.
For 16 years, until 2020, we ran a highly successful 5 Star Gold Award, Michelin-listed Bed & Breakfast, hosting wonderful guests from across the globe including famous names from the worlds of golf, football and Hollywood. Our latest self-catering project has also proved a financial success and is an exciting opportunity future owners may wish to take advantage of.
We are leaving with so many warm memories. Solley Farm House has been a truly incredible and unique family home, steeped in so much history - over the years, it has been a working dairy farm, the base of the local West Street hunt, and home to many generations of families before us. It has been a privilege to be part of its enduring story, and we hope it will provide many great memories to come for its lucky new owners.
