For Sale5 Bedroom Detached House in Woodland Road, Lyminge, Folkestone, Kent Ct18 8dr£1,000,000

We have thoroughly enjoyed this family home, perfect for hosting and entertaining the whole family both inside and out, with many memorable gatherings in the 18 years we have lived here! During that time, we have also redesigned and refurbished the property to become the delightful home you see today. The grounds have also been ideal, as we love our horses and ponies, as well as the wonderful surroundings. It was these surroundings that initially drew us to this place, but we feel the time has finally come to move to something a little smaller. Although we are surrounded by countryside, we are not isolated is we can walk into Lyminge. It is a very friendly village and there are a number of regular activities in the village hall including short mat bowls and judo while the pet friendly Coach and Horses pub is not far if you want a drink or a meal without taking the car. There are also two convenience stores, a post office and newsagent, library, pharmacy, Chinese restaurant, hairdresser and two doctors surgeries. The beautiful village of Elham is only about five minutes away with its good pubs, coffee shop and restaurants and it is not far to Folkestone for the Continent or Canterbury with its UNESCO site historic buildings, high street stores, individual shops, theatres, excellent eateries and three universities. The good Lyminge primary school including a pre-school facility and there are excellent grammar schools in Canterbury, Dover and Folkestone and first class private schools in Canterbury, Dover and Ashford. If you enjoy a good walk with the dog or want to go for a cycle ride there are parks and an extensive network of footpaths around the village or you can roam through the 440 acres of Lyminge Forest to experience a rich diversity of wildlife either on foot or on horseback. For those who like the sound of leather on willow the nearby Sibton Park cricket club might beckon for a game, while for golfing enthusiasts there is the Etchinghill Golf course and country club on the outskirts of the village and the Roundwood Hall Golf Club along Stone Street.
