Beautiful cottage and on a single level.
Beautiful cottage and on a single level.Promotion of the nearby bus stop should be added to your website information. Useful.
A very comfortable and extremely well equipped former stable. Located just behind the owners house, sheltered from the main road. Nice patio with furniture to sit and eat outside. A few miles from Canterbury on the bus and easy reach of all the Kent seaside resorts. Farm shop and Nursery just a few minutes walk away.
