Property information

Outside there is a terrace with views across the paddocks where cattle sheep and goats may be seen grazing.

Neighbourhood information

Withy Farm is a rural location only an hour from London. As well as being a great placed from which to explore the local area it is also a good base from which to explore our great capital city. The closest city is Canterbury only 8 miles away. Canterbury is a fantastic place for tourists, including the obvious Canterbury Cathedral which is a must see if you are in the area. The kent coast line also offers some great walks and towns to visit. These include Faversham (6 miles) Whiststable 11 miles) Margate (26 miles) and Ramsgate (29 miles) Withy Farm is only 30 mins from the Channel Tunnel Station so taking car day trips to France and Belgium are within easy striking distance (prior bookings would be essential).
