Situation
Terlingham Gardens is a secure private gated community for over 55's set in beautifully manicured gardens in the village of Hawkinge. Hawkinge offers a wide range of essential facilities, including a Tesco Express, Lidl Superstore, two pharmacies, a doctors’ surgery, dental practice, two primary schools, a Post Office, and a well-equipped care home.
For leisure and social activities, the village features an active community centre, village hall, the Mayfly restaurant, a café/coffee shop, and a selection of takeaway options including Indian and Turkish cuisine.
A regular bus service connects Hawkinge to the coastal port of Folkestone to the south, and to the cathedral city of Canterbury to the north via the A2. Both destinations offer excellent shopping, recreational, and educational facilities, along with mainline train services to London. The High Speed Rail Link is also available from Folkestone, providing fast connections to London St Pancras via Ashford.
The property is conveniently located just a short drive from the Channel Tunnel terminal at Cheriton and the M20 motorway, making it ideal for commuters and frequent travellers.
