SITUATION
This unique property is situated in an exclusive location on the seaward side of Hillcrest Road from
where it commands a magnificent southerly vista over the town with views of the sea and around
the bay to Dungeness. A pedestrian walkway (Church Hill) leads down to North Road and in turn, the town centre. It is also a relatively level walk from the centre of Saltwood with its pretty village green, local shop, Michelin starred restaurant, pub, historic church and castle. There are two excellent primary schools within only a short walk and Brockhill Performing Arts College is only a little further.
