The property is located on one of the most northern points of Kent, on the Hoo peninsula, close to the River Thames estuary and adjacent to the rspb Cliffe Pools nature reserve. Despite this apparent peripheral position, the property is very accessible by car, being just 6 miles from the M2/A2 and about a 21 minute drive from Ebbsfleet International (St Pancras from around 20 minutes).
It is a beautiful rural spot with a wide open landscape and expanse of sky with views over farmland and the Cliffe pools, with its mass of wildlife and excellent walking opportunities.
Rochester station (6.8 miles) has direct services to London Bridge, Charing Cross, St Pancras and Victoria from about 37 mins.

The village itself has a public house (about a third of a mile), local convenience store (0.6 of a mile), a good primary and pre school, medical practice, men's social club and one of the largest parish churches in Kent, visible across the fields from the house. Cliffe Woods (2.5 miles) offers further local facilities. Strood (5 miles) and Rochester (6 miles) have more comprehensive shopping and recreational facilities. Bluewater is about a half hour drive away.
