For Sale3 Bedroom Detached House in Hicks Forstal Road, Hoath, Canterbury, Kent Ct3 4na£800,000

We fell in love with the cottage and the grounds the moment we walked through the entrance gate. It has been a wonderful family home for many years but, with the boys having flown the nest, we feel it is time for us to start a new chapter. It is very quiet, peaceful and secluded with wonderful places to take the dog for a walk but, at the same time, we are only a short distance from Sturry where the fast train can whisk you to London in just over an hour. Sturry also includes a convenience store, post office, pharmacy, hairdresser, primary school graded Outstanding by Ofsted and the famous Kings junior school as well as a cricket club and fishing on the River Stour. We are also only a short drive from Canterbury with its historic buildings, shops, restaurants, Outstanding grammar schools and first class private schools, universities, retail parks, theatres and cinemas. There are also a number of excellent grammar and private schools in Sandwich and the Thanet towns. Hoath is a friendly village with a good primary school, a village hall with a variety of activities and the Prince of Wales pub. You can go for wonderful walks including Blean Woods and for those who enjoy fishing there is the nearby Marshside Fishery with its two lakes covering seven and a half acres. If you like water sports there is sailing and jet skiing in Herne Bay and golfing aficionados can enjoy the nearby Whitstable and Seasalter or the Chestfield golf clubs.
