What the Owner says:
It is a stunning spot living at the bottom of the valley and there are beautiful secluded walks accessible directly opposite the house. It is also very good if you enjoy cycling and riding as there are bridle paths and an equestrian centre nearby We feel we have the best of both worlds here. Enjoying peace and quiet in the wonderful countryside surrounded by a friendly village community, while 13 minutes down the road we can be on the beautiful beaches of Folkestone. If we want a meal out we can stroll round to the Marquis of Granby while if you enjoy golf there is a number of club including Etchinghill Golf Club or the Walmer and Kingdown Club near Deal and for water sports and sailing there is the Royal Cinque Ports Yacht Club in Dover.
The location is extremely convenient as it is only a short distance to the M20. If we needed to commute to London, we could be at Folkestone West station in five or six minutes for the high speed train to St Pancras, while it is simple to get to the Eurotunnel for the Continent.
