What the Owner says:

We fell in love with this property over 20 years ago even though it was in a somewhat parlous state but have thoroughly enjoyed creating a special home. It is a very quiet, peaceful and secure area and the Outstanding local primary school is within easy walking distance. We are not far from the Walmer and Kingsdown golf course and close to the seafront as well as the countryside.
Kingsdown includes a general store, post office, butcher and three pubs. You can cycle to Walmer with its shops, restaurants and the Downs Sailing Club, while fast trains from Walmer station can whisk you to London in an hour and 20 minutes. Deal is close by with its independent shops, seafront, eateries and Saturday market. While there are excellent grammar schools in Dover, Canterbury and Sandwich with top class private schools in the surrounding towns.
