"This has been a great family home for the past 10 years when we moved to Folkestone. We chose this house as it had just been renovated so we could move in without having to do anything except install our furniture. The location is wonderful as it backs onto the Harvey Grammar School cricket ground where we can listen to the summer sound of leather on willow. It is also like a quiet and peaceful oasis yet we could easily commute for work and be in London door to door in about an hour while the Channel Tunnel is nearby for trips to the Continent. There are excellent schools in the vicinity including four primary and two grammar schools that are all rated Outstanding by Ofsted, as well first class private schools in Dover, Canterbury and Ashford. However with the family having grown up, we feel it is time to downsize and move to somewhere a little smaller.

Folkestone is a delightful seaside town and it is not far to Folkestone West and Folkestone Central stations and to the town centre, with its plethora of restaurants, individual shops and businesses, including those in the Creative Quarter. There is also the famous Leas where you can walk along the vast green space at the top of the cliff, overlooking the sea across to France or stroll down to the beach and the award winning Lower Leas Coastal Park. There is also the rejuvenated Harbour Arm with its events, food stalls and artworks surrounding the harbour. For sporting enthusiasts there is the Folkestone Sports Club as well as the rugby, football, cricket, bowls and hockey clubs while golfing aficionados can play at the Henry Cotton designed Sene Valley or Etchinghill golf courses."
