Location Harbledown is a picturesque village steeped in history and just over a mile from the City Centre. Across from the property is St Nicholass Hospital and Church which is thought to be England's first leper hospital. Founded in c.1084 by the Archbishop of Canterbury 'Lanfranc', it was converted into Alms-houses in 1840. The Old Coach & Horses public house is a former coach house on the ancient London to Canterbury road, providing visitors with traditional ale and food. For those wishing to soak in the country air, there are plenty of good walking routes across the Kentish countryside right on the doorstep. For those needing to commute, there are two train stations in Canterbury, both of which have links to London Victoria. Canterbury West Station is 1.1 miles away and has a high speed service to London St Pancras. Harbledown is also the right side of Canterbury if you are looking for easy access to London via the A2/M2.
Outside A gate to the side leads to a pleasant enclosed seating area which overlooks the church and is shielded by a variety of mature shrubs. whilst steps lead up past the roof terrace (accessed via the rear bedroom), onto a large lawn area.
