What the owners say:

"Living here has been a breath of fresh air. The bungalow is cosy, idyllic and perfectly positioned: rural, but yet within walking distance from the farm shop and the pub, and a short drive to Canterbury. Being in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, there are plenty of walks nearby, and with Full Fibre broadband, working from home has never been easier.

We will never tire of the view: sunrises over the fields at the front; sunsets silhouetting horses in the fields at the back. We've loved being immersed in the quiet tranquillity and we are sure the next owners will love the property as much as we have.”
