Location: River, Dover – Why You’ll Love Living Here:

River is one of Dover’s most desirable villages — a peaceful yet well-connected community with everything you need close at hand. Families will love being walking distance to River Primary School (Ofsted-rated ‘Good’) and local shops including a Co-Op, pharmacy/post office, and a popular Chinese takeaway. A short stroll away is Kearsney Abbey and Russell Gardens, ideal for picnics, dog walks or riverside coffees.

For commuters, Kearsney Train Station (just over a mile away) offers regular services to Canterbury East (25 mins) and London Victoria (approx. 1hr 50 mins). You’ll also enjoy easy access to the A2/M2 and M20 via the scenic Alkham Valley. For healthcare, Buckland Hospital, several gp surgeries and nearby pharmacies are within easy reach.

Retail therapy is well catered for with St James’ Retail Park in Dover offering big-name brands, while independent shops and cafes in nearby Deal and Canterbury provide a more boutique experience. For history lovers and weekend explorers, Dover Castle, the White Cliffs, and access to Channel crossings are right on your doorstep.
