House For Sale £630,000
This beautifully appointed and spacious detached home, built in 2010, is located in a quiet setting with far reaching views across the countryside in the popular village of Bekesbourne within easy reach of the historic walled cathedral city of Canterbury just four miles south.
It offers generous family-sized accommodation arranged over two floors. All rooms to the rear offer lovely views over the open countryside. There is a herringbone bricked courtyard to the front leading to a double garage and a good-sized rear garden.
Bekesbourne – along with the adjacent villages of Bridge, Patrixbourne and Littlebourne - is surrounded by rolling farmland and is ideal for those who enjoy walking and country pursuits. It has its own church, stables and Chalkpit Farm, a square of converted farm buildings containing a variety of businesses including a veterinary practice, a flower shop, a picture framer and Mama Feelgood’s coffee shop and delicatessen which serves coffee, home cooked meals and homemade produce. Just nearby are Howlett’s Wildlife Park, and Polo Farm Sports Club. There is a train station with a regular service from Dover to London Victoria (via Canterbury East) and a school bus that runs from Aerodrome Road to the primary schools in Bridge and nearby villages and the secondary and grammar schools in Canterbury. There is good access to London via the A2/M2 motorway.
The neighbouring villages have good local services including primary schools, doctors’ surgeries, post office, hairdressers, and village stores.
The city of Canterbury offers excellent shopping, leisure and recreational facilities, including the White Friars Shopping Centre and busy High Street with its shops, restaurants and cafes.
Canterbury also has an excellent choice of higher education institutions, with its three universities. There are well-regarded state secondary schools as well as renowned private schools. There are two mainline stations, one with a high-speed rail link to St Pancras.
This very attractive home is found within a private location on a development that has been formed on the long past site of the former Bekesbourne aerodrome, which sits just to the east of the villages of Bekesbourne, Patrixbourne and Bridge. The historic city of Canterbury is just a short drive away.
Bekesbourne has its own primary school, with further secondary, grammar and private schooling readily available in nearby Canterbury. The village has its own rail station and offers services to London available from around 1 hr 30 minutes. High speed services from Canterbury West operate from just 53 minutes.
