"We moved here some 18 years ago because we fell in love with the peace and tranquility as well as the space and the stunning views across the Kent countryside. It has always been a joy to watch the local wildlife, wander along the adjacent fields and see the horses in the nearby paddocks. However I feel it is now time to move nearer to my children and grandchildren and hope that others will be able to enjoy my home as much as I have over nearly two decades. Although the bungalow is in rural surroundings it is not far to the historic city of Canterbury with its high street stores, individual shops, restaurants, theatres and universities whiled Sturry is less than five minutes by car with its mainline station and convenience store. It also includes the renowned Kathton House fine dining restaurant, a pharmacy, post office and hairdresser as well as the famous Kings School Junior school and the Sturry primary school, graded Outstanding by Ofsted. There is the main road and a bus that can take you into Canterbury or as far as the Thanet towns. Fordwich itself is famous for being the smallest town in England with its own town hall. It is full of attractive and historic buildings and has the river Stour running through the centre and also includes two excellent olde worlde pubs – the Fordwich Arms and the George and Dragon. For anyone who enjoys outdoor pursuits there are wonderful places to go fishing on the river".Room sizes:
