What the Owner says:
We bought this property five years ago and have completely redesigned and extended it to create a technically advanced family and entertainment home. It has hard wired WiFi everywhere, numerous CCTV cameras, alarm systems, underfloor heating and intelligent lighting throughout the house, terrace and entertainment areas as well as air conditioning in the principal bedroom, family living space and cinema with additional wiring in two of the other bedrooms. All the systems are controlled by an app on your mobile device.
It is very private and secluded with delightful places to go for walks in the countryside. The location is extremely convenient as it is only a short drive to Folkestone with its high street stores, shops and restaurants as well as two stations with the fast train to London and it is easy to get to the Channel Tunnel. There are nearby golf and sailing clubs and good primary schools in Temple Ewell and River and grammar schools in Folkestone and Dover as well as private schools in Dover, Canterbury and Ashford.
