As it is so close to the city centre, is on a bus route and walking distance to mainline station there is no need for a car. There is also a major supermaket only a few minutes walk away and a leisure centre with swimming pool even closer. To reach the city centre you walk mostly along the river where you can see many trout, often pike and sometimes kingfishers.
The location makes it possible to go the city centre in the morning and the beach in the afternoon.100 yards to local shop, 200 yards to leisure centre with swimming pool and 400 yards to major supermarket. Both Canterbury Universities are close by and a 16th century pub 10 minutes walk. The sandy beaches of Margate, Broadstairs & Sandwich are about a 20 minutes drive. Whitstable and the traditional seaside town of Herne Bay are closer still.
The garden is enclosed and sunny all day so perfect for children and for barbecues.
