We have loved living here for the past six years but with the family requirements changing we need to make a move. We have delightful neighbours and the village is charming with the Duke of Cumberland pub just a short stroll and where you can enjoy a drink or a pleasant meal without having to take the car out. There is also an historic church and a modernised and extended village hall that offers a variety of activities and facilities. There are two large halls, a conference/meeting room and a post office as well as a useful village shop run by volunteers that sells everything you need from light bulbs to specialist local wines, homemade bread and cakes to fresh meat. There is the nearby vineyard, a well-respected village primary school and an active tennis and bowls club. In the nearby village of Bridge you will find a cricket club and also a variety of shops including a small supermarket, a health food shop and a hair and beauty salon. Bridge also has a number of pubs, restaurants including The Pig and the Bridge Arms and a tea shop plus a dentist and a very good surgery and clinic. Broome Park Golf Club is close by for golfing aficionados and for those who enjoy riding, Covert Wood offers some splendid ‘off road’ facilities, while there are lots of great places to take the dog for a walk. Very good private and grammar schools are available in Canterbury, Folkestone and Dover and there is a regular bus service through the village to Folkestone and Canterbury while there is easy access to the A2 for London. As well as the cathedral Canterbury has numerous other historic and interesting attractions to see including the Canterbury Norman Castle, the Canterbury Tales, St Augustine’s Abbey, Canterbury Heritage Museum, the Westgate, The Beaney House and the Canterbury Roman Museum.
