Description
"We work in Canterbury so wanted a lovely family home within easy reach of the city but equally important was primary education for our children. So Adisham having a village primary school rated Outstanding by Ofsted and being only a short stroll from this house was a deciding factor in our choice of where to live. We love our home as it has such a practical layout for family life and since being here we have extended it, upgraded the kitchen and bathrooms and had the roof cleaned as we thought it would be our ‘forever’ home. We also have very fast broadband and 16 solar panels that generate about half our annual electricity requirements and provide around £2000 a year income. While we are sorry to leave we are relocating for family reasons and hope new owners will enjoy this home as much as we have.
Adisham includes a railway station with trains to Canterbury, Dover and Victoria and we are only a couple of miles from Gibsons excellent food hall, farm shop and café and not much further to Wingham where you will find two pubs including the Dog Inn, winner of the 2019 Great British Pub award. There is also the Wingham Central Stores, the Wingham Country Market as well as a primary school, surgery and dentist, a multitude of societies and sports clubs including a tennis club. For a day out with the family the Wingham Wildlife Park is only half a mile outside the village.
It is only a short drive along a country lane to the village of Bridge, which has a variety of useful shops including a small supermarket, post office and chemist. There is also an excellent medical centre, a dentist and hairdresser as well as a good primary school. The village also has pubs and first class restaurants including The Pig at Bridge Place hotel and the Michelin star Bridge Arms. The adjacent village of Patrixbourne has a football club and playing fields and nearby Bekesbourne includes a station together with a veterinary surgery, deli, café and gift shop.
Golfers can enjoy a game at Broome Park or Canterbury golf clubs while sailing clubs are available in Whitstable and Herne Bay. The city of Canterbury includes historic buildings, high street stores, independent shops, restaurants and bars as well as theatres, a cinema, three universities and excellent grammar and private schools. There are also two mainline stations with fast trains from Canterbury West whisking you to St Pancras in under an hour."
