Situation
The property is situated in the ever popular rural village of Kingston. The village boasts its own community hall, ancient church and a popular public house/restaurant. Nearby villages, such as Barham and Bridge, further cater well for one's every day needs, including a bowls club, award winning village shop/post office, restaurants, public houses, doctors surgery and an excellent primary school. Located in the heart of the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty there is a wealth of public footpaths, bridle ways and cycle routes on one's doorstep. A bus service gives access to the historic cathedral city of Canterbury, to the north, and, to the south, the Channel Tunnel town of Folkestone and Ancient Cinque Port Town of Hythe on the coast. These offer an eclectic and diverse range of shopping, recreational and educational facilities including both Grammar Schools and Universities; together with high-speed rail services to London, with the travel time to St Pancras being some 60 minutes. The nearby Port of Dover and Folkestone Eurotunnel give direct and easy access into Europe.
