For Sale5 Bedroom Detached House in Bridleway, Whitfield, Dover, Kent Ct16 3nh£800,000

We have lived in the area for over 45 years, as it has always been a very convenient and pleasant rural location away from the busy cities. We moved into this house about 27 years ago as we felt it was ideal as a very practical, spacious and safe home for our growing family. We have loved the complete peace and seclusion, yet it is not far from all the amenities available in Whitfield and the A2 for access to Dover, Canterbury and London. However, our children are now grown up with jobs and homes spread across the world and we feel it is time for us to downsize. The growing village of Whitfield includes a primary school, hairdresser, doctor’s surgery and a vet as well as a post office, a pub, restaurants, a garage and the Ramada hotel. There is also a village hall that offers a variety of activities.   Only 5 minutes away is a large Leisure Centre and swimming pool as well as a Tesco superstore and a number of other large, retail outlets,  There is a regular bus service to Dover, which has a number of individual shops, bars and restaurants as well as the ferry port for trips to the Continent. Nearby train stations include Kearsney, Martin Mill and the high-speed train from Dover Priory can whisk you to London St Pancras in just over an hour. Regular bus and train services run to historic Canterbury and the coastal resorts. There are excellent grammar and private schools in Dover and Canterbury as well as an Outstanding primary school in River village. Nature lovers and children will enjoy both the garden and the close proximity to Lydden Downs Nature Reserve and walks along the White Cliffs of Dover, as well as trips to beaches and castles in East Kent.  Motoring enthusiasts can enjoy racing at Lydden circuit and sailors can join the Royal Cinque Ports Yacht Club, while golfers have a variety of choices from the Walmer and Kingsdown Golf Club or Broome Park to the Championship courses at Sandwich and Deal.
