This is a pretty property for an equestrian family, located within the rural village of Woodnesborough in East Kent. If you’re in need of a tranquil home where you’re out of the way, but still in easy reach of the town and active equestrian centres, then this could be the one for you…
The property can be found tucked away behind a former farmstead on a private land. It’s conveniently located within walking or driving distance of the historic Cinque Port town of Sandwich. A mainline station gives access direct to London St Pancras, and the coastal Port of Dover is around 6 miles away with ferries access across the Channel and further along the coast via the A20/M20 is the Channel Tunnel terminal. Canterbury is around 15 miles away.
If you want to hunt you can head out with the East Kent Hunt.
Your local showing society will be BSPS Area 14.
You are just a 30 minute drive from Chilham Castle, host of regular horse trials.
Other local equestrian centres include: Hogbrook EC (14 miles), Braeside EC (14 miles) and Rooting Street EC (37 miles).
Your local racecourse will be Charing, which hosts point-to-points and is a 45 minute drive away.
