It is a stunning spot living at the bottom of the valley and there are beautiful secluded walks accessible directly opposite the house. It is also very good if you enjoy cycling and riding as there are bridle paths and an equestrian centre nearby We feel we have the best of both worlds here. Enjoying peace and quiet in the wonderful countryside surrounded by a friendly village community, while 13 minutes down the road we can be on the beautiful beaches of Folkestone.
