The Lower Corniche is a small and exclusive development, situated on the hillside above Sandgate and overlooking the English Channel, approximately 2¼ miles from both the ancient Cinque Ports Town of Hythe and the larger town of Folkestone, recently voted as the best place to live in the South East. There are excellent educational facilities in the vicinity from primary schools to grammars, secondary schools, academies and colleges. The vibrant village of Sandgate where you can fill your day with paddleboarding, kayaking, kite surfing, jet foiling, canoeing or even a spot of fishing, enjoys an eclectic mix of village store, antiques shops, boutiques, public houses, cafes and restaurants and long stretch of shingle beach with sailing club a short walk away. The coastal path can be followed along the foot of The Leas all the way to Folkestone harbour and the revitalised "Harbour Arm" with champagne bar, restaurants, cafes and live music. The quaint, unspoilt Cinque Ports Town of Hythe, approximately 2¼ miles distant, provides a wide range of amenities including 4 supermarkets (including Waitrose, Sainsburys and Aldi), various independent shops and restaurants, together with a selection of sports and leisure facilities, golf courses, swimming pool, etc.
