What the Owner says:
We will be sad to leave what has been our home for the past 42 years however health issues mean we have to move. In such a rural setting with a thriving village and so many amenities on our doorstep, which includes the nearby coast, we feel that we have had the best of all worlds. An extra bonus is that the field opposite our home is part of an ancient trust and cannot be built on.

It also has three historic hostelries one of which has been exquisitely restored as a gastro pub/restaurant and voted the best pub of the year in Kent. The village hall includes tennis courts and offers various activities and there are also nearby golf courses and riding establishments while commuters can drive to Folkestone West or Ashford International and boarding the high speed train can arrive at St Pancras Station in 47 minutes.
