What the Owners Say: We purchased this house a few years ago as we thought the location was ideal and, because the front entrance is at first floor level and not at street level, it is very quiet and peaceful. As we moved here during ‘Lockdown’ we had the opportunity to spend a great deal of time creating the amazing property you see today. We thought it would be our ‘forever’ home and designed it with that in mind. Unfortunately business commitments mean we have to move but we hope new owners will enjoy everything this place has to offer, whether as a permanent home or a weekend and holiday retreat. It is a wonderful base for exploring the delights of the city but it is also not far from the surrounding countryside for access to a rural environment for lovely walks or a trip to a country pub. But it is great to be able to stroll down the road to the shops, pubs and eateries as well as meeting friends and family for a coffee or a visit to the theatre without needing to take the car. At the same time if you want to get to London, it is only about a 12 minute walk to Canterbury West station for the fast train to St Pancras that takes less than an hour and it is not far from the A2 for Dover and Folkestone providing trips to the Continent. As well as the cathedral Canterbury has a wide variety of other historic and interesting attractions to see including the Canterbury Norman Castle,  St Augustine’s Abbey, Canterbury Heritage Museum, the Westgate, The Beaney House and the Canterbury Roman Museum. The city also has a wide variety of high street stores, individual shops and plenty of restaurants and bars as well as two mainline stations and various sports clubs including golf and the Kent Country cricket ground. It is home to two theatres, three universities and numerous state schools including three excellent grammar schools and a number of private schools such as the famous Kings School.

I really liked the light and airy atmosphere of the house when I first opened the front door and then walking through and seeing the river and the views over to Solly’s that almost seem as though the park was actually in the back garden, I knew this was the place for me. I also like the kitchen because everything is easily to hand as it was originally designed by a previous owner Audrey Eyton – author of the F-plan diet. While when I close the curtains to the conservatory in the evenings, I find the sitting area very warm and cosy. As I thought I would be living here for the foreseeable future, I have had the flat roofs over the conservatory and the kitchen replaced but sadly I am having to move for health reasons. The location is also wonderful as I can stroll to the city centre om just a few minutes and meet friends and family for a coffee or visit the nearby Marlowe theatre without needing to take the car or even get on a bus. At the same time if you want to get to London the fast train from Canterbury West will transport you to St Pancras in under an hour and it is not far from the A2 for Dover and Folkestone for trips to the Continent. As well as the cathedral there are a wide variety of other historic and interesting attractions to see including the Canterbury Norman Castle, St Augustine’s Abbey, Canterbury Heritage Museum, the Westgate, The Beaney House and the Canterbury Roman Museum. The city also has a wide variety of high street stores, individual shops and plenty of restaurants and bars as well as two mainline stations and there is an excellent doctor nearby. The city is also home to two theatres, three universities and numerous state schools, including three excellent grammar schools and a number of private schools.

What the Owner Says: Living in Broad Oak has given me the perfect balance of rural calm and convenience with easy access to the city, coast and wider countryside. The house offers so much flexibility for guests and family, and the plot allows for so many potential uses. I’ve loved the privacy, either as a quiet oasis with my horses or a great venue for parties around the deck, bar and pool but now it is time for me to move on and give someone else the opportunity to enjoy this unique locale. The area is so convenient with local shops including a newsagents, coffee shop, butchers and Tesco Express and just down the road, Sturry features a pharmacy, post office, hairdresser and a convenience store plus the Kings Junior school, an Outstanding primary school, cricket club and a station where high speed trains to London take just over an hour. Fordwich sits on the river beyond, fantastic for walking or kayaking, and has two pub/restaurants including the Michelin Star Fordwich Arms. There is an extensive retail park not far away and it is only a short drive or bus ride to the centre of Canterbury with its wide variety of historic UNESCO heritage site buildings, high street stores and individual shops, numerous restaurants, bars and the cinema as well as the Marlowe and Gulbenkian theatres and two stations. There are also excellent grammar and private schools, three universities, a further education college and the Kent cricket ground. I also love how close I am to the sea, Whitstable’s vibrant harbour, independent eateries, and famous oysters are only a short drive away, while Herne Bay offers a classic promenade, wide beaches, and beautiful coastal walks whenever I want a change of pace.

What the owner says: From the moment we first arrived at the private Oxenden Square, we knew this was a home that offered something truly special. Set within one of Herne Bay’s most desirable residential pockets, the property combines peaceful living with the unmistakable charm of the Kentish coastline, just moments from the seafront. The gentle sound of the waves, the fresh sea air and the ability to stroll to the beach within minutes have made everyday life here feel like a retreat. Spending time in this location has given us the perfect balance of tranquillity and convenience. The beach is within 250 metres, and short walk brings you to Herne Bay’s vibrant promenade, independent cafés, stylish eateries and the welcoming local shops that give the town its warm, community‑driven character. Whether it’s picking up fresh pastries in the morning, enjoying a relaxed lunch overlooking the water, or browsing the boutiques, everything feels wonderfully close at hand. For essentials, the area offers excellent local amenities, including supermarkets, pharmacies, leisure facilities and well‑regarded schools — all contributing to the ease and comfort of daily life. Travel connections have also been a major advantage. The nearby Herne Bay railway station provides direct links to Canterbury, Whitstable, and London, making commuting or weekend city trips effortless. Road connections via the A299 ensure smooth access across Kent and beyond, whether heading to the coast, countryside or major transport routes. What we have loved most about Oxenden Square is the lifestyle it offers — a peaceful, elegant home environment paired with the joy of seaside living and the practicality of excellent local services. It’s a place where mornings can begin with a walk along the shore, afternoons can be spent enjoying the town’s amenities, and evenings can be savoured in the comfort and privacy of a truly beautiful home.

“We moved here 12 years ago and love everything about Stable Stones. We have enjoyed putting our own stamp on the property while still retaining its original character. The location is perfect with countryside all around us, yet only two and a half miles from Canterbury city centre. With only eight properties in this quiet hamlet, we’ve enjoyed the tranquil setting and watching the Spring lambs frolicking around in the nearby field while walking our dog. We’re sure the new owners of Stable Stones will enjoy living here as much as we have. Bridge is a lovely little village with two pubs, one having a Michelin Star restaurant and the renowned Pig Hotel. There is also a small supermarket, a chemist as well as a good primary school, a medical centre, dentist and hairdresser. Bridge is also well located for transport links to London via the motorway network or the High Speed train to St Pancras. “Canterbury is a UNESCO world heritage city and has some beautiful historic buildings plus a variety of high street stores, individual shops and a great selection of pubs and restaurants and is also home to the excellent Marlowe Theatre where we’ve seen many shows”.

This forms part of the original building and includes an impressive inglenook fireplace with a Bressummer beam and a Vermont log burner as well as exposed brickwork and some original ceiling, wall and vertical beams. Wood features strongly in this updated property with the bespoke main staircase, the flooring in the dining/sitting room, hall and study being 200-year-old French oak lifted from an historic army barracks, while the upstairs corridor flooring is European oak and the modern exposed ceiling beams in many of the rooms are made of Oregon pine.

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.
