What the Owner says:

We bought this property 10 years ago because we wanted access to local grammar schools. We also wanted to be in a charming village where we could walk to the pubs, local shops and one that had a reliable bus service and Wingham ticked all the boxes. However it was the views from this house we instantly fell in love with together with the spacious rooms and large gardens. Building the double garage with the office above has been a real boon, while the addition of the orangery means we enjoy the views whatever the weather and creating the lower ground floor provides a relaxing space.
The pretty village includes a primary school, two pubs, independent shops, a surgery, dentist and beauty salon as well as a recreation ground and numerous societies and clubs while nearby Gibsons farm shop and café provides upmarket and local produce.
Excellent additional educational facilities are available in Canterbury, Sandwich and Thanet with Canterbury also having three universities. This city includes high street stores, individual shops, restaurants, historic buildings and two mainline stations including Canterbury West where the high speed train can whisk you to London in under an hour.
