This was my childhood home so I have lived here most of my life and was delighted to have the opportunity to extend and modernize the property in 2018. I will always have wonderful memories of living here but a change in family circumstances and wanting to downsize means that it is time for new owners to take over and enjoy the peaceful and quiet surroundings, the stunning views and everything we have done to create a very special home. It is ideal for anyone interested in equestrian activities and we have always had horses and ponies here. The location is delightful and the villages of River and Temple Ewell provide friendly communities. There are a number of activities in the River village hall as well as a Co-op mini market, a greengrocer, pharmacy and post office, while the local primary school is rated Outstanding by Ofsted. There is also a regular bus service between Dover and Canterbury where you will find excellent grammar and private schools. The area around River is delightful and comes with the accolade of being an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Kearsney Abbey Park and Russell Gardens are close by walks with the dog and children and the wildlife is second to none with a wide variety of birds alighting on the ornamental lakes with squirrels and other small animals frequenting the park. Motoring enthusiasts can enjoy racing at Lydden and sailors can join the Royal Cinque Ports Yacht Club while golfers have a variety of good choices.Room sizes:
