We have thoroughly enjoyed living in this gorgeous property for the past few years. However we now feel it is time to downsize and start a new chapter in our lives. It is very quiet, peaceful and, being a cul-de-sac, is also safe for children and pets. St Nicholas at Wade is a friendly village with a delightful community atmosphere and surrounded by the rolling Kent countryside yet is only moments from the road into Canterbury and the Thanet Way for access to London. There is a good primary school and you can enjoy a pleasant meal and a drink at one of the two local pubs without having to worry about driving home. The 13th century church is a delight and immediate necessities are available in the village shop and post office. The village hall hosts weekly events including keep fit and art groups while cricket and football are played on the Bell Meadow recreation ground and you can even learn to dance at the Thanet Stage School. There is a regular bus service between Canterbury and the Thanet towns and we are only a short distance from the historic village of Minster with its main line station and three miles from Birchington with its shops, station, secondary schools and beaches as well as Quex Park with its museum, retail outlets, play areas, farm shop and restaurant. Birchington can also offer bowls, tennis and water skiing and there is the sailing club and other watersports such as wind surfing in nearby Minnis Bay, not to mention the Westgate and Birchington Golf Club for golfing enthusiasts. If you enjoy walking there are a number of excellent places for a bracing walk with the dog and for cyclists you can revel in a trip to Reculver along the Viking Coastal Trail. You will also find a very good and inexpensive cinema in Westgate, theatres in Margate, Ramsgate and Broadstairs and if you want to go further afield Westwood Cross includes a large shopping centre with a variety of high street stores, a retail park and the Vue cinema complex as well as a casino and numerous restaurants. History: It is believed that Cherry Tree Cottage was originally a pair of farm worker’s cottages but was converted and extended over the years. Its most illustrious owner was Molly Bernhard-Smith who was a well-known artist and established the Twenty One gallery at the Adelphi in London for up and coming artists to display their work.
