For Sale4 Bedroom Detached House in St Marys Meadow, Wingham, Canterbury, Kent Ct3 1df£750,000

We have always lived in Wingham and St Mary’s Meadows is a very special place. We love having the view and seeing the sheep grazing in the meadows every day. It is a friendly community with a mix of age groups as families with young children appreciate the quietness and security that a cul-de-sac affords. It is a very safe area so for anyone who may want a holiday and weekend retreat in a delightful village this could be ideal. Wingham is a unique village. It stretches out along a tree-lined high street dominated by the tall green spire of the historic St Mary's Church with its 13th century arches. The village includes thatched cottages, medieval hall houses and handsome Georgian buildings with around sixty houses built before 1760 and many dating back to the 1400s that all combine to give the village a unique, traditional beauty. However it is no sleepy backwater as it has two pubs including the Dog Inn, winner of the 2019 Great British Pub award, the Wingham Central Stores, the Wingham Country Market as well as a surgery and dentist, while not far away is the excellent Gibsons food hall, farm shop and cafe. There are also a multitude of societies and sports clubs including the tennis club while the recreation ground has been upgraded. For a day out with the family the Wingham Wildlife Park is only half a mile outside the village. There is a well-regarded local primary school in Wingham and nearby Adisham primary is rated Outstanding by Ofsted. There are excellent grammar schools in Sandwich, Dover and Canterbury and top private schools in Dover and Canterbury. This historic city also includes three universities and a further education college as well as high street stores, individual shops, restaurants, ancient buildings and two mainline stations where the high speed train from Canterbury West will whisk you to London in under an hour. There is also a station at Adisham and frequent bus services go between Sandwich, Deal, Dover and Canterbury. The A2 is not far if you want to drive to London or to Dover and Folkestone for the Continent while the Cinque Port town of Sandwich with its medieval buildings, shops and championship golf courses is also within easy driving distance.
