SITUATION
The property is located on the edge of the popular and sought after village of Bridge, which offers a wide range of facilities including an excellent primary school, mini supermarket, pharmacy, dentist, doctors, and hairdressers, along with a good choice of public houses/restaurants - one having Michelin star ranking - tea rooms, and the prestigious Pig at Bridge hotel, which is set in a wonderful 17th century manor house, surrounded by beautiful gardens and grounds. The surrounding countryside also provides for good walking, riding and cycling.

The historic City of Canterbury lies a little over 3 miles away, with its many cultural interests, and an excellent shopping centre.
