Wildage Farm enjoys a peaceful position on the edge of Stelling Minnis, a sought after rural village known for its open common “The Minnis”, historic windmill, village shop and strong sense of community. The surrounding countryside is characterised by rolling fields, woodland and footpaths. My husband and I enjoyed many walks through the surrounding Forestry Commission woodland and nearby nature reserve, while our sons enjoyed hours of cycling and running on the miles of quiet country lanes and bridleways. Wildage offered us more than enough space and facilities to follow our dreams – a studio for painting, the extensive gardens where we grew vegetables and planted fruit trees, space for entertaining, keeping chickens (or horses, if that’s your thing), our own woodland (handy for firewood) and much more. The local pub, village shop with Post Office and village hall events have been a real bonus. With the city of Canterbury just a 20 minute drive away we’ve enjoyed the shops, cafés, restaurants, leisure facilities and cultural attractions it offers. We leave with so many fond memories, including punts along the Stour, Christmas Carols in the Cathedral and theatre trips to the Marlowe and Gulbenkian. Just wandering the cobbled streets and indulging in the independent art shops and boutiques gave us much pleasure. We have been thankful for the good travel connections for such a countryside setting. Catching trains to London from Canterbury or Ashford (the latter in just 38 minutes) and by car the A2 and M20 are not far. For international travel, the Channel Tunnel and Dover’s ferry port are both within easy reach, which has made trips to the continent a breeze. As we prepare to hand over to the next generation we feel incredibly blessed to have been custodians of such a beautiful, private and historic home, which has given us so many wonderful memories. We wish the new owners equal happiness here.
