For Sale3 Bedroom House in Garlinge Green Road, Garlinge Green, Canterbury, Kent Ct4 5rt£700,000

My husband built this house some 60 years ago and we subsequently extended it and have enjoyed devoting our love and attention to creating the garden. It has been a very special home in an idyllic setting and I will be sad to leave, but I am going to live near my family. Although our home is in a rural location we are not isolated as Garlinge Green includes a community theatre, while we are just a three minute drive from Petham, a couple of miles from Chartham and equally close to Lower Hardres. Petham is a charming village with a good primary school, a Grade 1 listed church and activities in the modern village hall. There is a nearby garden centre, the Roundwood Hall golf course along Stone Street, an excellent farm shop and the Granville pub in Lower Hardres. For cricketing enthusiasts there is the Street End cricket club or you can enjoy watching county players at the Kent County Cricket ground, while Chartham includes a good primary school, a convenience store, post office and hairdresser as well as the Local and Artichoke pubs, a railway station and the Chartham Vinery. We are not far from the heritage city of Canterbury with its historic buildings, shops, restaurants and entertainment, while the high-speed train from Canterbury West can whisk you to St Pancras in under an hour. There are outstanding state and private secondary schools in the city as well as three universities and sporting facilities including the Canterbury golf club. We are also quite central for the Continent with Dover and the Channel Tunnel being within easy reach.
