"Guilford Villas" enjoy a tucked away position on the edge of scenic countryside over which there are a variety of attractive walks, rides and cycle routes. Coldred is a traditional village boasting a village green with duck pond and an unspoilt community pub. The local church is Grade I Listed of Saxon origin dedicated to St Pancras. The village is easily accessed by car via a turning just off the A2 and can be reached by train via the station located at Shepherdswell, approximately 1.5miles distant. This larger village also offers a local primary school, Post Office, convenience shop and range of recreational and village facilities. The Cathedral city of Canterbury is approximately 12 miles offering excellent educational, recreational and shopping facilities together with mainline train service to London St Pancras in around an hour. The coastline and Harbour town of Dover lies to the south-east offering access to the Continent and the southern motorway network.
