STUNNING FAMILY HOME WITH PANORAMIC VALLEY VIEWS
Set in a highly desirable location with far-reaching views across to River & the Alkham Valley, this beautiful, presented home combines stylish modern living with generous accommodation and excellent entertaining spaces.
River is a village located on the outskirts of Dover, which together with its neighbours Kearsney and Temple Ewell are much sought after due to their proximity to the town and Port and easy access to Folkestone, Deal and Canterbury as well as the various shopping outlets and superstores at Whitfield (1 mile). There are 2 primary schools nearby, River School (Ofsted rating – outstanding) and Temple Ewell (Ofsted rating – good), together with several secondary schools in Dover including Girls and Boys Grammer schools and Dover College and The Duke of Yorks which cater for both prep and seniors. Dover is known for its iconic White Cliffs and strategic location as the closest English port to the European mainland, serving as a vital gateway to the continent. It has good road and rail links with Dover Priory Train Station offering fast links (approximately 1hr 11mins) to London St Pancras International.
There are local shops in both River and Temple Ewell with a railway station within a few minutes’ walk at Kearsney, as well as the lovely parks at Kearsney Abbey, Russel Gardens and Bushy Ruff.
