Description
We bought this beautiful house in 2020 as we fell in love with its character and presence and the fact it had the separate flat and a garage was a real bonus. It really is the ultimate home if you want to live in Canterbury as it is in an ideal location. We can walk to the restaurants, shops, theatres and museums and enjoy the culture that Canterbury has to offer. While Canterbury West is an easy stroll and the fast train whisks you to St. Pancras in well under an hour, which was extremely convenient when we were commuting to London.
At the same time our road is very quiet and St Dunstan’s has a very village like atmosphere with its residents association and local shops and eateries. There are also great places to go for walks in places like Westgate Gardens, and along many peaceful footpaths that pass alongside rivers and through ancient woodlands, orchards and vineyards. You can also go further afield along the Crab and Winkle route and it’s only a 15 minute drive to the coast for a day on the beach, so we really have the best of all worlds. However as we no longer need to commute to London, we are starting a new chapter in our lives.
Canterbury is such a beautiful place with its historic buildings coupled to its shopping facilities as well as wonderful restaurants, pubs and cafes. It also has excellent grammar schools and private schools including The famous Kings School and two other well respected independent schools that are within walking distance of the house. There are also three universities and a variety of sports facilities including a golf club, a leisure centre and the Kent County cricket ground.
