What the Owner says:

We moved here about six years ago as we wanted a wonderful family home with great views, not far from the beach and in a delightful area. We have loved living here but it is now time to downsize. As the house is in a private road it is very quiet and safe for children and pets and there are lovely places to go for walks.

St Margaret’s includes a post office, village shop, doctor’s surgery and a pub. There are also a wide range of societies and clubs and for youngsters there are scout, guide and brownie troops as well as two riding stables and a primary school rated Outstanding by Ofsted. While the surrounding town have excellent grammar schools, many rated Outstanding by Ofsted and top class private schools. It is not far from Dover and Folkestone for immediate access to the Continent, while the high speed train from Martin Mill mainline station can whisk commuters to St Pancras within about an hour and a quarter and even less from Dover Priory.
