Seller Insight

We built this house with a great deal of love and care as we thought it would be our forever home. Unfortunately personal circumstances mean we have to move but we hope another family will be able to enjoy everything we have done and add the finishes touches that we were not able to complete.

Lydden is a delightful village with a new doctor’s surgery nearby and you can easily stroll down to the excellent Lydden Bell pub for a drink and a meal. There are great places to go for walks along permitted MOD land and it is very convenient as the local primary school is very close and the buses stop every 20 minutes in either direction. It is only about two minutes’ drive to the A 2 for Canterbury and London or Dover Docks and the Channel Tunnel for the Continent while petrol heads can enjoy motor racing at the Lydden Hill circuit. Sailors can join the Royal Cinque Ports Yacht Club while golfers have a variety of choices from the Walmer and Kingsdown Golf Club to the Championship courses at Sandwich and Deal. Nearby Temple Ewell has a post office and convenience store and it is not far to Tescos and a retail park while Kearsney has the nearest station.*
