We have thoroughly enjoyed living here for the past 27 years and, during that time, we have installed the modern kitchen and added the garden room and garage as well as enjoying our time in this lovely garden. We also considered extending the property but, as there was just the two of us here, we didn’t feel the need although many other similar properties have added first floor accommodation but, because we have such a lovely garden, it would also be easy to extend outwards as well. It is also a charming house for entertaining and we have even had parties where four barbecues were in operation!

We love the peace, quietness and the wonderful wildlife that also enjoys our garden but sadly, for health reasons, we now have to move but will be staying in the same area as we love Hythe and feel it is one of Kent’s most delightful seaside towns.  We are only a short distance from the town with its individual shops, bars, restaurants and pavement cafes as well as Waitrose and other supermarkets. There are lovely walks and cycle rides along the canal and the beach is not far away.

We have the excellent Hotel Imperial with its golf course and leisure centre as well as cricket, squash, tennis and sailing clubs and the Sene Valley golf course, originally designed by Henry Cotton, for more challenging golf. The are also good local primary schools and two excellent grammar schools in Folkestone with top class private schools available in Ashford, Canterbury and Dover. Sandling station is quite close while the high speed train from Folkestone West or Ashford can whisk you to London in record time.
