"We absolutely love this historic and highly individual house and feel privileged to have been its custodians for the past 14 years; we are only moving for business reasons. It is a really happy home with a friendly feel from the moment you walk through the front door and is great for entertaining. We have had some 60 people here for a 50th anniversary party and it really comes into its own dressed overall at Christmas. It is also great in summer, when you can eat in the courtyard and walk up the steps to the garden. The sitting room on the ground floor has a lovely cosy feel and the lounge on the first floor catches the late afternoon light. The location is extremely convenient as we are not far from Waitrose and you can easily walk into Canterbury city centre with its historic buildings, high street stores, independent shops, restaurants and bars."

The house is extremely well situated for Canterbury's grammar schools rated Outstanding by Ofsted, first class private schools, three universities, a further education college, two theatres and a cinema complex. There are also two stations, including Canterbury West from where the fast trains to St Pancras take just 54 minutes and so is ideal for commuters. For sporting enthusiasts there is the Kent Cricket ground, a leisure centre and swimming pool and the house is not far from the Polo sports club providing hockey, tennis, cricket and croquet as well as the nearby Canterbury golf club.
