What the Owner says:

“We love everything about our wonderful home and have taken great pleasure in modernising the property over the years to become something truly special, including our unique garden. We shall be very sad to leave as we have greatly enjoyed our time here, especially with family and friends, but, after nearly 25 years, we are ready to downsize. The tranquil location is fantastic with The Minnis all around us, ensuring the property will never be overlooked by another building.
The area is great for walking, while both villages and local primary school are close by. We are on a bus route to Canterbury, which is useful if you have children attending schools in the city. Stelling Minnis has plenty of activities available, a local pub, our historic windmill and a village store for any immediate needs. The seaside is 20 minutes away.”
