For Sale4 Bedroom Detached House in Old Park Avenue, Dover, Kent Ct16 2dy£800,000

We have really enjoyed living here for the past 20 years . It was the position, the large rooms and garden that initially appealed to us as well as the wonderful character features which we have been delighted to retain while also updating the property. However we feel it is time to downsize and let another family enjoy everything about this lovely home. Transport links are very convenient with access to the A2 and A20, while the high speed train from Dover Priory to London takes just over an hour and the ferry is nearby for trips to the Continent and the Channel Tunnel is easily accessible. The area has a lot to offer, with excellent primary, grammar and private schools in Dover as well as in the historic city of Canterbury. Motoring enthusiasts can enjoy racing at Lydden and sailors can join the Royal Cinque Ports Yacht Club and use the marina, while golfers have a variety of choices from the Walmer and Kingsdown Golf Club to the Championship courses at Sandwich and Deal. Dover has a new shopping centre and there are a number of local hotels, restaurants and pubs in the vicinity. If you enjoy a walk with the dog the area around River is delightful and comes with the accolade of being an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Kearsney Abbey Park is not far while Russell Gardens along the Alkham Valley is charming, if you want to go slightly further afield. The wildlife is second to none with a wide variety of birds alighting on the ornamental lakes. There are also delightful walks along the Saxon and North Downs ways and cyclists can join the National Cycle Network while a variety of other sporting activities are available including sailing, swimming, fishing and rowing as well as football with Dover Athletic National League football club.
