Enjoy the bright living space of our newly decorated property. Spacious and airy surrounded by beautiful countryside. Perfect for walks or cycle rides and only 2 miles from the historic City of Canterbury with its medieval streets, restaurants and world famous cathedral. Great for couples, solo adventurers or business travellers. 'Little Wisteria' is a self-contained, independent, first floor property next door to our home with superb countryside views . It is extremely peaceful and yet a stones throw from Canterbury City centre. Private entrance door with stairs to a large open plan area featuring a cosy lounge/dining area with sofa, coffee table and flatscreen tv. Extremely comfy superking size bed. Bathroom with overhead ceiling rose shower. Fitted kitchen with kettle, toaster, fridge with freezer compartment, pans, cooking utensils, crockery. Basic cooking facilities include a two ring ceramic hob and a microwave, suitable for simple cooking and small light meals.

Little Wisteria is located on the outskirts of Canterbury. There is a friendly local community and the area is clean and safe. There are many places to eat in and around Canterbury. If you wish to eat in or stock up on supplies there is a major supermarket within a 10-15 minute walk. There is also a former Pub that is now a very reasonably priced breakfast/brunch cafe. If you fancy an alternative stroll into the city centre, you can join the 'Great Stour Way' (15 min walk away) which is a walk/cycle route following the Stour River. Opened in 2011 for Canterbury as a gateway to the Stour Valley and to the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Getting around Canterbury City centre - 5 minutes drive/30 minutes walk Bus stop and supermarket - 3 minutes drive/10/15 minutes walk Canterbury Rugby Club - 3 minutes drive/15 minutes walk Kent Cricket Club - 4 minutes drive/20 minutes walk Whitstable - 20 minutes drive Port of Dover and Eurotunnel - 20 minutes drive London via A2/M2 - 1hr 15mins Gatwick Airport 1hr 10mins
