For Sale5 Bedroom Detached House in The Street, Bossingham, Canterbury, Kent Ct4 6dx£950,000

We purchased this lovely house from new as we wanted to live in a village environment but in a characterful modern house where it was quiet and peaceful. Unfortunately, due to business commitments, we have to relinquish our delightful home but I am sure new owners will be delighted to be able to move in and not have to do anything except install their furniture. Bossingham is a very friendly village and nestles in the midst of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the rolling Kent countryside yet is only a few miles from the historic City of Canterbury with its high speed train that can take you to St Pancras in less than an hour. The good Stelling Minnis primary school is nearby and there are plenty of footpaths to take the dogs on wonderful walks or we can stroll through the 124 acres of common land famously known as The Minnis. We are not far from Stelling Minnis with its archetypal village green, a convenience store, pub and historic windmill. The area is very central for access not only to Canterbury but also to Folkestone and Dover for the Continent and there is a regular bus service through the village that is particularly useful for children going to secondary schools in Canterbury. Nearby Lower Hardes includes an excellent farm shop and you can dine in style at The Pig, The Tiger Inn, The Kings Arms, The Duck and The Five Bells Inn, all within a short drive. We are not far from Canterbury with its UNESCO world heritage site historic buildings, high street stores and individual shops, theatres, universities, bars and restaurants as well as two mainline stations. It is also very easy to drive to the A20 for London or Dover and Folkestone for trips to the Continent. Canterbury has an excellent choice of grammar and private schools and there are also first class schools in Folkestone, Ashford and Dover. While for sporting aficionados there are numerous clubs available as well as the Roundwood Hall Golf Club along Stone Street or the Canterbury Golf club and Polo Farm Sports club on the outskirts of the city. If you enjoy horses, there is also the Bursted Manor riding centre and excellent rides in the 440 acres of Lyminge forest.
