"We will forever hold fond memories of our time living in this property. From the magical sea views, quiet and private Cul-de-sac and respectful neighbours, plus proximity to the beach, Sandgate, Hythe Town and Folkestone Harbour Arm, all these factors have contributed to us as a family enjoying a fabulous, active life in Seabrook (Hythe). We often have to visit London, sometimes on a weekly basis for work and the commute is only 54 minutes by fast train. We love travelling as well, and are able to hop over to France on the Eurotunnel which only takes 35 minutes! This location offered the best of all aspects to a wonderful lifestyle for us, we thoroughly enjoyed it"
