“The house is in a wonderful location because of the stunning views. It has been a fascinating project renovating this lovely property and we hope the next family will be able to take advantage of everything we has down to create a contemporary home suitable for modern day living. The garden has always been a relaxing place to unwind and the only sound we can hear is the birds tweeting in the trees.
River is a friendly village with the River Douro at its heart surrounded by the parks adjacent to Kearsney Abbey. The primary school, only a few minutes away, is one of the best with an Oustanding Ofsted report and for older children there are excellent grammar and private schools in and around Dover. River has a post office, convenience store, pharmacy and Chinese restaurant and we are only a few minutes drive from a large Tesco, other well known retail stores including Lidl, B&Q and several food outlets as well as the impressively equipped Dover Leisure Centre.
There are numerous country walks you can enjoy and the local nature reserve offers wonderful opportunities to view rare wild life species. Car racing enthusiasts can take a trip to the Lydden racing circuit that is not far away while the Dover Sea Sport Centre is ideal for those interested in boating.
The house is very central for Dover and Folkestone if we want to travel to the Continent or enjoy the shops, restaurants and multiplex cinema in the new St James Retail Park. Canterbury with its historic buildings, theatres, high street shops and a wide variety of restaurants is only a short drive away, while nearby Kearnsey mainline station provides easy access to London”.
