We bought this cottage because we loved the position and the character of the property and have enjoyed updating it and building the annex. However we are now considering going to live abroad. The friendly village has a shop and post office, a pub for a drink or a meal, and a café at the East Kent heritage railway station. The nearest mainline station is Shepherdswell and the bus goes to Canterbury, Dover and the Sandwich Technical School while the nearby primary school at Elvington is rated Outstanding by Ofsted.
