“We bought the house from new just over five years ago and have thoroughly enjoyed our time here. We have upgraded the property by installing a new kitchen and flooring as well as having the rear garden landscaped. The garden is where we spend much of our time during the spring and summer as we feel that the gazebo and terrace provide us with two extra ‘rooms'. It is a wonderful family home and is ideal when all the children and grandchildren come to stay as there is sufficient room for everyone not to be on top of each other with all the flexible accommodation available. However we have now decided to move nearer our children. We love the area and the village as well as our own neighbourhood community. There is the Half Moon and Seven Stars pub in the village as well as a local shop and a wonderful garden centre with a cafe that does amazing food as does the Rising Sun pub in the next village of Stourmouth. It is a quiet and peaceful place and yet we are not too far from the Minster Service Station and Coop and it is no more than 20 minutes to the historic city of Canterbury with its high street stores, individual shops, bars and restaurants, the medieval Cinque port town of Sandwich and the beach at Herne Bay. While the Thanet Way provides easy access to London, the Thanet towns and Minster station for the high speed rail. There is a good primary school in the village and excellent state and private secondary schools in Sandwich and Canterbury.Room sizes:
