We fell in love with the position and the views and have excellent neighbours. But we are now retiring and starting a new chapter in our lives but hope a new family will be able to enjoy everything we have done here. The village is charming with a local shop, the historic Half Moon and Seven Stars pub that has been serving ale since 1570 and the wonderful Coppers garden centre with a restaurant that does amazing food and has become a local ‘meeting place.’ There is a village hall that offers a variety of activities from table tennis to toddler groups and yoga to gardening and a primary school rated Good by Ofsted with certain areas rated Outstanding as well as a bus service that includes taking children to secondary schools in Canterbury, Sandwich and Thanet. While for horsey enthusiasts there is the Shotfield Equestrian Centre. It is a quiet and peaceful place and yet we are not too far from the Minster Service Station with its very useful co-op and Minster station will get you to London in under an hour and a quarter. There is also Wingham with its pub/restaurants and the nearby Gibsons farm shop/food hall selling excellent local produce. The historic city of Canterbury is less than 10 miles and includes a wide variety of UNESCO heritage site buildings, high street stores and individual shops, numerous restaurants, bars and two cinemas as well as the Marlowe and Gulbenkian theatres and two stations. There are also excellent private schools, three universities and a further education college as well as the Kent cricket ground and a swimming pool. The medieval Cinque port town of Sandwich is even closer with its wonderful buildings and championship golf courses for golfing aficianados while the Thanet Way is easily accessible for London, the Thanet towns and Thanet Parkway for the high speed rail.
