Local area
Chilham is proving popular for new listings recently, we take a look at what this beautiful village has to offer.
The picturesque village of Chilham is centered around a medieval market square and castle that date back to the 12th century and is located in the Kent Downs, which is classed as an area of outstanding natural beauty. Historic Chilham Square has a wealth of medieval and Jacobean architecture and has been a filming location for numerous period dramas. The village provides local amenities including a post office, tea room, village hall and two public houses - both of which sell food.
There is also a primary school which has been rated as good in its latest Ofsted report. Chilham has a regular bus service into Canterbury and excellent road connections with the A2 just 5 miles away (which allows access onto the M2). Chilham train station has services that run into Canterbury West and Ashford international, where you can catch the Eurostar to the continent and high speed services to London St Pancras.
We have been fortunate enough to market four properties here in the past year. Owners have been choosing us as their agent as they can see how our marketing highlights the character features of these period properties.
We currently have two properties available in the village, both situated in 'The Square' at the heart of Chilham.
Tudor Cottage is a striking and beautiful Grade II listed house that oozes character and charm with period features throughout including exposed beams, latch down doors, leaded light windows and an Inglenook fireplace.
