What the Owner says:
We bought this property in 2015 as we wanted a farmhouse and a large garden and we love our home but are re-locating to Ireland. The village is friendly with its recreation ground, church and village hall. We live opposite the Black Pig pub/restaurant and are not far from Barnsole Vineyard and a garden centre. There are wonderful places to go for walks including to Wingham with its primary school, pubs and shops and nearby Gibsons farm shop/food hall. It is only about nine miles to Canterbury with its ancient buildings, high street stores, individual shops, theatres and restaurants as well as two mainline stations including Canterbury West where the fast train will get you to London in under an hour. It is less than five miles to the mediaeval Cinque Port town of Sandwich and its Championship golf courses, while Adisham includes the nearest railway station and a primary school rated Outstanding by Ofsted.
