There are two main line railway stations in easy distance one of which offers the high-speed service to London St Pancras in around 60 minutes and regular nearby bus route running from Dover to Canterbury.

Land & Grounds - The acreage and or land shown / stated on any map and or screen print for the property is *TBV – (To Be Verified), which means that the land has not been formally measured and or verified by Equus and or its sellers/clients.
