For Sale4 Bedroom Cottage in Hoaden, Canterbury, Kent, CT3 2LG£700,000

This has been a wonderful home for us over the past 30 years but sadly heath issues mean it is time to move. We love the house and its unique character and have always taken pleasure in the garden as well as entertaining friends and family. Over the years we have had many dogs and there are wonderful country walks that we have all enjoyed and hope that new owners will appreciate this home as much as we have. We bought the adjacent field so that it could not be built on and spoil our lovely views but could always be home to a small pony, alpacas, goats or chickens. Hoaden is a quiet and peaceful hamlet and, although it is out in the country, it is not far to the village of Ash with its shops including a Co-op, newsagent, chemist and hairdresser as well as a primary and prep school. Wingham is also nearby with its individual shops, post office, pubs, restaurants, the Wingham Wildlife Park and garden centre. There are farm shops providing plenty of local produce, including the renowned Gibsons farm shop and food hall while the medieval Cinque Port town of Sandwich with its delightful pubs, restaurants and shops is within easy reach. Golfing addicts can enjoy their game at Princes and the world renowned St George’s championship course and boating enthusiasts can moor their boats along the River Stour in Sandwich. Other sporting activities are easily accessible and these include tennis, cricket and bowling as well as riding for young horsey aficionados in the village of Elmstone. The area offers an excellent grammar schools in Sandwich, Canterbury and Dover as well as private schools in Dover, Canterbury and Ramsgate.  From Sandwich there is the high speed train to London and a good road network to Dover, Canterbury, Folkestone, Thanet and London.
