We originally fell in love with the wonderful location and the character of the barn which included beams from the old Tudor Hall house after it suffered a fire. We worked hard to create what we thought would be our ‘forever’ home and have been delighted to enjoy living here for the past few years. However our requirements have now changed and we hope that new owners will appreciate everything this place has to offer whether that is as a permanent home or a gorgeous country holiday home and weekend retreat.
It is very quiet and peaceful but we are only about three miles from the picturesque village of Chilham, while Canterbury, Faversham and Ashford are easily accessible. We thoroughly enjoy living in the countryside and being close to Chilham with its 16th century black and white houses, pubs, shop and tea rooms surrounding the beautiful 15th century village square with access to the castle. There is the White Horse Inn and the Badgers Hill farm shop and café providing quality local produce as well as a primary school and the mainline station with trains that can whisk you to St Pancras in under an hour.
There is an Outstanding primary school in nearby Sheldwich while the medieval town of Faversham includes an excellent grammar school, Outstanding primary schools as well as restaurants, bars, independent shops, supermarkets, the Shepherd Neame brewery and a regular market.
The historic city of Canterbury includes a plethora of ancient buildings, lovely pubs, restaurants and two theatres as well as a variety of high street stores and independent shops, recreational facilities such as a golf course and sports centre and two mainline stations. It also has excellent grammar schools as well as top class public schools and three universities.
