The location is excellent as we are close to the town centre with its supermarkets, shops, pubs and restaurants and walks along the Military Canal. It is not far from the beach and there is a swimming pool as well as golf, sailing, cricket, squash and tennis clubs. Good local primary schools are available and two excellent grammar schools in Folkestone with top class private schools available in Ashford, Canterbury and Dover. Sandling station not far away and it is less than an hour to London on the high speed train from Folkestone West or about 35 minutes from Ashford International, while the Channel Tunnel is close by.
