This property has been in our family for more than 50 years and it has been a wonderful place to bring up our children and enjoy the benefits of inter-generational living. We built the annexe when we needed it for a family member and it has proved to be an excellent experience. However, there are opportunities to reconfigure the property to create an impressive five bedroom family home. For example, as the two kitchens abutt each other it would be possible to combine the two and create a large kitchen/breakfast room, while opening up the upstairs would provide bathroom facilities on the first floor for everyone. Indeed, the opportunities are endless and for anyone with inter-generational requirements the annexe is specifically designed to provide totally independent living.
Kingsdown is a charming fishing village with a general store, post office, butcher and three pubs as well as the beach including the delightful Zetland Arms. You can drive or cycle along the lower road parallel to the seafront to Upper and Lower Walmer with shops and restaurants along the Strand but we are also not far from the countryside, so have the best of all worlds.
The mainline station at Walmer with its high speed train can whisk you to London in an hour and 20 minutes so it is particularly useful for commuters or if you want a day out in Town. Deal is quite close by with its wonderful shops, seafront and restaurants including the Blue Pelican and the Dining Club while the Tides swimming pool complex is not far away.
We are within walking distance of the Kingsdown and Walmer golf club for golfing enthusiasts and not far from the Royal Cinque Ports golf club. While, if you want to go slightly further afield, there are also the championship courses at Royal St George's as well as Princes in Sandwich. If sailing is your interest there is the Downs Sailing Club with its clubhouse along the Strand in Walmer.
There are a number of good primary schools in the area including Downs Primary and the Outstanding Kingsdown and Ringwould C of E primary, while Dover, Canterbury and Sandwich offer excellent grammar school facilities with top class private schools in Dover and Canterbury.
