nestled in beautifully mature grounds that are steeped in medieval and world war ii history, daweswood perfectly marries traditional country cottage charm with the luxury of ultra modern living
the gardens are adorned with bluebells during the spring, and are dotted with blossoming english fruit trees and even a magnificent tulip tree that provides dappled shade to the duck pond below Mallards, moorhens, mandarin ducks, and even kingfishers call the tranquility of the pond their home, whilst rabbits, squirrels, woodpeckers and pheasants forage for food next to the hand-pumped well across a footbridge from the site of a medieval tile kiln. Whilst the house and outbuildings were garrisoned by soldiers during World War II, some of the famous stained glass windows from Canterbury Cathedral were once buried beneath the front gardens for protection from German bombing raids. Note that the front and rear gardens are not fenced so children and pets must be supervised at all times as there is a pond and a road that can be accessed. allow dogs off their lead at your own risk!
