What the Owners Say: We moved here in 2014 and have loved living here and are only moving as we are starting a new chapter in our lives. We originally bought the bungalow because we felt the location was absolutely ideal as we feel we are in the country with Blean woods behind us and woodland in front but, at the same time, it is only a short distance to the centre of Chestfield and not far to Whitstable. The area is very quiet and peaceful and, as it is on a private ‘no through’ road, it is very safe for children and pets and if you have horsey interests there is a livery stables opposite. There are plenty of lovely places to go for walks on the nearby footpaths as well as along the Crab and Winkle Way. Chestfield is a friendly village and includes the Chestfield Golf Club as well as the cricket club and if you want to go out for a drink or a meal locally there is the 14th century Chestfield Barn bar and restaurant. Both Chestfield and Swalecliff and Whitstable stations are under a mile away and, while a train journey to London from Canterbury is faster, the train from Whitstable can whisk to London in an hour and a quarter. We are also only a short distance from the Thanet Way and Dover and Folkestone are within easy reach for trips to the Continent. While there are a number of good and outstanding primary schools in the area. Whitstable is nearby with its bars, restaurants, individual shops, station and historic harbour and we are only five miles from the UNESCO city of Canterbury with its heritage buildings, high street stores, pubs and eateries as well as top class private and grammar schools, three universities and a station where trains to London take less than an hour. read more
