“We moved here about 10 years ago and thought it would be our ‘forever’ home as we love the environment as well as the peace and tranquillity. But circumstances have changed and we need to be nearer our family however, because we thought we were staying here, we have plans that have been passed to extend the sitting room to become a large square room, add two bedrooms and bathroom upstairs as well as extending the master bedroom.
The village is very friendly with a good primary school, an historic church, a modern village hall with plenty of local activities and playing fields. There is also a well-equipped village store and post office as well as the County Members pub for a drink and a meal. While local landmarks include Lympne and Westenhanger castles as well as the Port Lympne safari park.
It is only a few minutes’ drive to the M 20 for London, Westernhanger and Folkestone West station and the Channel Tunnel and we can be in Ashford in under 20 minutes for the high speed train that takes 36 minutes to get to St Pancras, so you can be in the centre of London in under an hour door to door. It is not far to the sandy beach at Dymchurch or the Cinque Port town of Hythe with its variety of individual shops, pubs and restaurants as well as three supermarkets.”
