We love the peace and quiet as well as the wonderful character of our home and we have been delighted to welcome paying guests to the annex who have all thoroughly enjoyed their stay. However we want to move nearer to our family and, if we could pick the cottage up and move it closer to them, we would! We have friendly neighbours but the only thing we ever hear is the very occasional tractor or the horses using the adjacent bridle path. There are wonderful places to go for walks including the orchards and the land around the historic Elmstone church, which was donated by the local farmer as a picnic site. It is only a mile to Preston with a local shop, the historic Half Moon and Seven Stars pub that has been serving ale since 1570 and the wonderful Coppers garden centre with a restaurant that does amazing food and has become a local ‘meeting place.’ There is a village hall that offers a variety of activities from table tennis to toddler groups and yoga to gardening and a primary school rated Good by Ofsted with certain areas rated Outstanding as well as a bus service that includes taking children to secondary schools in Canterbury, Sandwich and Thanet. While for horsey enthusiasts there is the Shotfield Equestrian Centre. It is a quiet and peaceful place and yet we are not too far from the Minster Service Station with its very useful co-op and Minster station will get you to London in under an hour and a quarter. There is also Wingham with its pub/restaurants and the nearby Gibsons farm shop/food hall selling excellent local produce. The historic city of Canterbury is less than 10 miles and includes a wide variety of UNESCO heritage site buildings, high street stores and individual shops, numerous restaurants, bars and two cinemas as well as the Marlowe and Gulbenkian theatres and two stations. There are also excellent private schools, three universities and a further education college as well as the Kent cricket ground and a swimming pool. The medieval Cinque port town of Sandwich is even closer with its wonderful buildings and championship golf courses for golfing aficianados while the Thanet Way is easily accessible for London, the Thanet towns and Minster station for the high speed rail.
