Connections
Located on the outskirts of historic Canterbury, these homes are ideally situated for commuters, being a scant nine miles away from the A2 and its superb links to London and Dover, while Canterbury West Railway Station offers a direct route to both the capital and Ashford International.
Local amenities
Royal Parade is less than two miles from Canterbury own Centre so has everything you need right on your doorstep. A number of well-known supermarkets and grocery chains are less than two miles and there are also plenty of other day-to-day services including medical centres, hairdressers, leisure and sports centres, all just a short walk or drive.
Families
There are a number of good primary and secondary schools within a short distance of the development including St Thomas’ Catholic Primary School, St Johns Church of England Primary School and Pilgrims Way Primary School. There are also a number of excellent secondary and grammar schools in the vicinity as well as independent day and boarding schools such as The Kings School and St Edmonds School.
Howletts Wild Animal Park and Blean Woods National Nature Reserve will enthral children and adults alike, both of which feature sprawling vistas of stunning natural beauty, both teeming with creatures great and small.
Local area
One of the most culturally rich and historical cities in England, Canterbury is famous the world over and has as much to offer residents as it does visitors alike. The astonishing Canterbury Cathedral is naturally the centrepiece but combines with St Martin’s Church and St Augustine’s Abbey to form a UNESCO heritage site.
Canterbury city centre provides the best of both worlds, with a variety of high-street shops, cafés and restaurants set against the backdrop of its beautiful, historic attractions and buildings.
