Excellent transport connections further enhance the property’s appeal. Regular bus services provide convenient access to both Canterbury and the coastal town of Whitstable, while Canterbury West station is approximately a five minute drive away, offering high speed rail services to London St Pancras in as little as 56 minutes, making this an ideal location for commuters seeking a unique country home within easy reach of the capital.
