4 bedroom detached house for sale

A character detached cottage, situated in a great location literally just a stone’s throw from the beach on the edge of the seaside village of Kingsdown where it abuts Walmer.

Constructed in the 1920’s, South Leaze is thought to have been built for a member of the Arnold family, a well-known family of boatmen. It remained in Arnold family ownership until purchased by the current owners in 2000. They have reluctantly decided it is time to move on and give someone new the opportunity to live in this special location.

KINGSDOWN is a former fishing village of charm and character and offers a range of leisure activities. In the village there is a small selection of shops and amenities including a Newsagent/Post Office, butcher, three Public Houses, the Church of St Johns and a Primary School (rated outstanding by Ofsted). Recreational activities include water sports and fishing along with Walmer & Kingsdown Golf Course. A further three Champion golf courses are a short drive away including Royal St Georges in Sandwich (venue for the British Open). The historic coastal town of DEAL has a good variety of shopping and leisure facilities yet still retains much of its character as a former maritime town. DOVER, with its docks and cross-Channel services, is seven miles away, offering fast access to the Continent and fast Rail Link access to London St Pancras travelling from the nearest station at Walmer (1hr 15mins).
