“We moved back to the UK from America over 30 years ago and wanted to create a home that was unique and incorporated features we had seen in American houses. We were fortunate enough to find a great builder who offered us this amazing piece of land provided we had plenty of imagination and he could build the house. Without further ado we found an equally special architect to work with the builder and this amazing property is the result of which we are extremely proud. It will be a great wrench to leave but we feel it is necessary now to downsize and move nearer our daughter. We would be happy to include any of the fixtures, fittings and furniture with the sale of the house.

Although it is very quiet and peaceful, we can walk to Kathton House at the Tylers Kiln for a delicious meal. We are also quite close to the University of Kent and only a short distance to two prominent private schools. It is only five minutes’ drive to the centre of Canterbury with its historical buildings, high street stores and individual shops as well as a plethora of bars and restaurants, the Marlowe theatre, first rate state and other private schools. There are also two stations including the high speed train to St Pancras from Canterbury West that can whisk you to London in less than an hour. Alternatively we can be in Whitstable with its shops, harbour and famous oysters in 10 minutes while the nearby Gulbenkian theatre and cinema on the University campus provide additional entertainment facilities”.
