The Cathedral City of Canterbury is approximately 9 miles away and has a wide range of shopping, cultural and leisure facilities along with a number of schools in both the state and private sector for all ages and abilities. Road communications in the area are excellent with the A2 dual carriageway junction at Barham (approximately 4.5 miles) linking to the southern motorway network, the channel port of Dover and the Channel Tunnel.
Boyes House is a superb detached house which was originally the village Post Office but has been lovingly and beautifully restored and extended by the current owner to provide a spacious family home of great character and exceptional quality. Internally the house has good sized reception rooms, four bedrooms and an attractive rear garden with parking. Also included in the sale is a red telephone box which is discreetly situated at the side of the house and makes an ideal store for logs and kindling as well as online deliveries. Located in the wall at the front of the property is the original Post Office Post Box inscribed with the initials 'GR' on the front, thought to refer to King George.
