We've spent a tremendously happy decade here with our four children. It's an elegant but understated house with a bright, warm, welcoming atmosphere, but more importantly the house and garden have been truly magical places that will live in our memories forever.
For us the best aspects of living here boil down to four things: the beauty of the rooms, the way the house spills out into the huge garden, the unique character of Shakespeare Road, and the easy access to so many destinations (in particular London, but also Canterbury, the coast and the stunning Kent countryside).
Shakespeare Road is a wonderful hidden corner of East Kent. It's a ‘no-through' road which means it has minimal traffic, so it's a safe place for children and pets to explore and play, and the neighbours all watch out for one another. We are a stone's throw from the sea where we swim, paddle-board and kayak in the summer. The sea wall is a traffic-free path for running, walking and miles of pleasant coastal cycling.
Now the children are older they're free to do things without having to rely on their parents, because the train station is just around the corner – they regularly hop on the train to London for a day out or to go to a concert, it's so simple.
We're going to be very sad to leave, but we're also curious to meet the next custodians of this remarkable, happy house. We look forward to meeting you.
