Location: Harbledown is a picturesque village steeped in history with a vibrant community spirit. It is home to St Nicholas’s Hospital and Church which is thought to be England's first leper hospital. Founded in c.1084 by the Archbishop of Canterbury 'Lanfranc', it was converted into Alms-houses in 1840. The Old Coach & Horses public house is a former coach house on the ancient London to Canterbury Road, providing visitors with traditional ale and fantastic food. For those wishing to soak in the country air, there are plenty of good walking routes across the Kentish countryside right on your doorstep. For those needing to commute, there are two train stations in Canterbury, both of which have links to London Victoria. Canterbury West Station is 2.1 miles away and has a high-speed service that takes you to London St Pancras in under an hour. Harbledown is also the right side of Canterbury if you are looking for easy access to London via the A2/M2. There are various primary and secondary schools within a 2 mile radius including The Blean Primary School which is rated ‘Ofsted’ Outstanding. Upper Harbledown is just a 2.4 mile drive into Canterbury’s' vibrant city centre which is home to the University of Kent, Canterbury Christchurch College and other colleges, together with an excellent variety of schools in both the public and private sectors. In addition to the high street and Whitefriars shopping centre is the Kings Mile, which is a lovely mall filled with boutique style shops, cafes, eateries and public houses.
