As soon as we came to the area we loved how quiet and tranquil it is, we knew it was a great location to build a new house. Very rarely do cars come up the road, unless they are visitors or the postman however it is still easy to get to the city centre. There are also good schools in the area with a well-regarded local primary school in the village and accessible secondary and grammar schools in Canterbury or Sandwich. Wingham stretches out along a tree-lined high street dominated by the tall green spire of the historic St Mary's Church with its 13th century arches. The village includes thatched cottages, medieval hall houses and handsome Georgian buildings with around sixty houses built before 1760 and many dating back to the 1400s that all combine to give the village a unique, traditional beauty. However it is no sleepy backwater as it has two pubs including the Dog Inn, winner of the 2019 Great British Pub award, the Wingham Central Stores, the Wingham Country Market, interior design shops and a guitar shop as well as a surgery and dentist. Nearby is the excellent Gibsons farm shop and a garden centre. There are also a multitude of societies and sports clubs, while the recreation ground has recently been upgraded. For a day out with the family the Wingham Wildlife Park is only half a mile outside the village. There are excellent grammar schools in nearby Sandwich and Canterbury and top private schools in Canterbury. Here you will also find three universities and a further education college as well as high street stores, individual shops, restaurants, historical buildings and two mainline stations including Canterbury West with the high speed train that can whisk you to London in under an hour. Frequent bus services go between Sandwich, Deal and Canterbury while the A2 is not far if you want to drive to London or to Dover and Folkestone for the Continent while the Cinque Port town of Sandwich with its medieval buildings, shops and championship golf courses is also within easy driving distance.” Features: - Garden - Terrace
