Just minutes away from the English Channel, this country manor in Folkestone puts you within easy reach of the Kent coast, from a hidden valley offering total peace and seclusion. Contrasting period charms with modern home comforts, its highlights include the garden's hot tub and alfresco dining area, the original fireplaces, and the historical Tudor-style window panelling. If you can pull yourself away, there are plenty of scenic walking routes and heritage sites to be explored nearby. While the home is rural, it is far from remote – you'll find hotspots such as the White Cliffs of Dover, the Battle of Britain Museum and Dover Castle within easy driving distance.
