What the Owner says:
We moved here in 2008 and it has been a wonderful characterful home. We love the peace and quiet and been delighted to welcome paying guests to the annex. However, we want to move nearer to our family. Nearby Preston has a good primary school, shop, historic pub and Coppers garden centre/restaurant, a village hall offers a variety of activities and a bus taking children to secondary school in the surrounding towns, while the train from Minster can whisk you to London in under an hour and a quarter. Canterbury is less than 10 miles and includes historic buildings, high street stores and individual shops, restaurants, bars and two theatres and cinemas, excellent private schools, three universities and a further education college.
