This has been a wonderful family home for the past 25 years and we are only moving to be nearer to our daughter. We will always have very happy memories of our time here with great parties, family gatherings and the house being dressed overall for Christmas. It is very quiet and peaceful and we are within easy walking distance of the shops, eateries, surgery, dentist and Lidl supermarket as well as the Hawkinge Community Centre on Hawkinge Green. This includes a sports hall, a gym, two studios, a meeting room, coffee shop and bar. It offers a wide variety of activities for all age groups from toddler groups to roller disco and short mat bowls. There are stables in the village for anyone who enjoys riding and plenty of places to enjoy wonderful walks with the dog as well as a cricket and social club, a football club, four pubs and the Battle of Britain Museum, while there are a number of golf courses nearby. With regard to education, the village has two primary schools, including the Hawkinge Primary rated Outstanding by Ofsted while there are excellent grammar schools in Folkestone, Dover and Canterbury and first class independent schools in Canterbury, Ashford and Dover.  The house is very conveniently situated because, as well as the regular bus service through the village, you can be on the M20 motorway in a minute for Ashford, Dover and London. Folkestone is close by with its shops, restaurants, the Creative Quarter and the Harbour Arms and you can easily pop across to France via Eurotunnel and the fast trains from Folkestone West station take less than an hour to St Pancras.
