What the Owner says:
We have been here for the past 25 years and it has been a wonderful family home but it is now time for us to downsize. We fell in love with the views and have redesigned it over the years to enjoy the panoramic vista and watching the wildlife. We have also installed solar panels with a battery system that is charged up by the solar panels providing electricity for the house and the car charging points so our net electricity bill is particularly low. It is only a five minute drive to Tescos, the Channel Tunnel and the M20 and there is easy access to local golf courses, the rugby club, Folkestone West station and excellent primary and grammar schools.
