What the Owner says:
We moved here about 16 years ago as we loved the character of the property and the availably of good schools nearby. We completely renovated the property from top to bottom and it has been a great family home but it is now time to downsize. We created a wildlife area in what was previously a two acre paddock, however the paddock could be reinstated if required and opportunities include the possibility of property development, subject to the appropriate planning.

The location is ideal as it is only a short drive to Thanet Parkway station where the high speed train can whisk you to London in 70 minutes. We are close to Minster with its Abbey, station, primary school, shops, pubs and restaurants, surgery, vet and beauty salons as well as local clubs and a large recreation ground. There are excellent primary, secondary, grammar and private schools in the vicinity and easy access to dual carriageways to London, Canterbury, Dover and Folkestone. Golfers can play at various courses including the championship courses in Sandwich, while sailors can moor their boats at the Ramsgate marina.
