A charming three-bedroom period cottage in the sought-after village of Preston, near Canterbury. This characterful home boasts original features including exposed ceiling beams, a brick fireplace with log burner, and a warm, inviting feel throughout.

The accommodation offers three bedrooms along with an additional interconnecting room that would make an ideal dressing room, study or nursery, currently being used as a fourth bedroom. On the ground floor there is a spacious kitchen/diner, a cosy lounge, a conservatory providing extra living space, and a bathroom, while upstairs there is a convenient shower room.

Outside, the property enjoys enclosed gardens to the front, side and rear, together with a detached garage/workshop and off-street parking.

Nestled in the picturesque Kent countryside, Preston is a delightful and well-connected village just a short drive from the historic city of Canterbury. Famed for its sense of community and traditional village charm, Preston offers an idyllic blend of rural tranquillity and modern convenience.

The village itself boasts a thriving local primary school, a popular farm shop, and a welcoming pub at its heart. Pretty period cottages and character homes line its quiet lanes, while the surrounding orchards, hop gardens, and farmland provide a quintessentially Kentish backdrop.

For those commuting, Canterbury’s bustling city centre – with its renowned Cathedral, excellent shopping, and wide choice of restaurants – is within easy reach, and there are strong transport links to London via nearby train stations at Sandwich and Canterbury. Coastal towns such as Deal, Whitstable, and Ramsgate are also only a short journey away, offering beaches, seafood, and vibrant cultural scenes.

Whether you’re seeking a peaceful retreat from the city or a welcoming family-friendly environment, Preston near Canterbury combines timeless countryside appeal with excellent accessibility, making it one of East Kent’s most desirable places to call home.
