About this property

The property has been in our family for the past 55 years and we have always loved the convenient and quiet location. It is a great family home and, during our time here, we have modernised the house but still retained the period features, while we loved redesigning the garden to provide a haven for family and friends to enjoy.

Figures from MHCLG (Open Government Licence v3): the average bill for each band across Canterbury, including the typical parish precept, so a parish's own bill can differ a little. Discounts lower the bill, such as 25% off for an adult living alone.
