For Sale4 Bedroom Detached House in Barnsole Road, Staple, Canterbury, Kent Ct3 1le£950,000

We bought this property in 2015 as it had always been our dream to live in a Kent farmhouse with a large garden. We love the property and the beautiful surroundings, and are only leaving it because we are re-locating to Ireland to pursue new career opportunities. The village is a very friendly place with its recreation ground, 14th century church and village hall where a variety of regular activities take place as well as the annual and very popular Staple Country Fayre.  We live opposite the quintessential 16th century Black Pig pub/restaurant, (originally built from ships timbers from local shipwreck), so it is great to be able to pop over for a meal without having to take the car out. The area even has the award winning Barnsole Vineyard for wine enthusiasts and an excellent garden centre with a cafe. There are wonderful places to go for walks as far as Chillenden where you can stop for a drink at The Griffin’s head, Ash with its surgery, primary and private school or the nearby village of Wingham. This has a good primary school, pubs and shops and the Wingham Wildlife Park while Gibsons farm shop/food hall and cafe is just the place to buy something special for the dining table or a place to meet your friends for breakfast or coffee. It is only about nine miles to the historic city of Canterbury with its ancient buildings, high street stores, individual shops, theatres and restaurants as well as two mainline stations including Canterbury West where the fast train will get you to London in under an hour. It is less than five miles to the ancient Cinque Port town of Sandwich and its famous Championship golf courses, while Adisham includes the nearest railway station.
