What the owner says: From the moment we first arrived at the private Oxenden Square, we knew this was a home that offered something truly special. Set within one of Herne Bay’s most desirable residential pockets, the property combines peaceful living with the unmistakable charm of the Kentish coastline, just moments from the seafront. The gentle sound of the waves, the fresh sea air and the ability to stroll to the beach within minutes have made everyday life here feel like a retreat.

We were initially drawn to the location of this house, set within the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Wolverton Hill in Alkham, Dover is one of East Kent’s most coveted rural addresses — a serene ribbon of countryside where rolling hills, ancient woodland, and sweeping valley views create an atmosphere of complete tranquillity. Properties here enjoy a rare blend of privacy, prestige, and proximity to the coast, making it a sanctuary for those seeking refined country living without sacrificing convenience. It is a stunning spot living at the bottom of the valley and there are beautiful secluded walks accessible directly opposite the house. It is also very good if you enjoy cycling and riding as there are bridle paths and an equestrian centre nearby We feel we have the best of both worlds here.  Enjoying peace and quiet in the wonderful countryside surrounded by a friendly village community, while 13 minutes down the road we can be on the beautiful beaches of Folkestone.  If we want a meal out we can stroll round to the Marquis of Granby while if you enjoy golf there is a number of club including Etchinghill Golf Club or the Walmer and Kingdown Club near Deal and for water sports and sailing there is the Royal Cinque Ports Yacht Club in Dover. The location is extremely convenient as it is only a short distance to the M20.

Five generations of our family have lived here and it has been a very special home for the past 60 years. During that time we have run various business activities including a pig farm for nearly 20 years. We thought we would never move, but we now feel it is time to downsize and move nearer our family and allow new owners to take advantage of all the potential this property has to offer.  It is very quiet and peaceful and we are lucky to be able to enjoy beautiful uninterrupted views over both countryside and sea.  At 500 ft above sea level, we look across to France on a clear day and see the lights twinkling there at night.  We are spoilt for space at Brownswood, having large rooms throughout the property, which over the years, as our family has grown, have been used in a variety of ways suiting both family and business needs at the time. Having so much social space, particularly the three rooms which open together into one space, has allowed us to hold large gatherings for family and friends. In summertime we usually hold an outdoor party/BBQ on the lower lawn with a marquee. As a family we enjoy walking and have direct access from our paddock onto the bridle path which joins the North Downs Way, taking you Eastwards over the hills, following the coastline through Capel-le-Ferne and Samphire Hoe to Dover. Or going Westwards you can walk onto the Pilgrims Way and Saxon Shore Way taking you through countryside and many pretty villages. There are numerous country paths to choose from, many with country pubs to visit along the way.  Similarly, there are many routes to cycle both through open countryside and the forests and woodlands nearby. If choosing a walk by the sea, we are just a 7 minute drive to Folkestone’s East Cliff which takes us down to the Sunny Sands beach, the Folkestone Harbour Arm and the Creative Quarter. There are plenty of restaurants and cafes to choose from or you may choose to walk along the promenade to the Lower Leas Coastal Park, Sandgate and onto Hythe. Brownswood is positioned on the Southernmost edge of the village of Hawkinge. We have seen the village of Hawkinge change over the many years that we have been here, but only for the better. Hawkinge is now served by a good selection of shops, three pubs, doctors, primary schools, sports facilities and an excellent community centre hosting many activities for all ages.  Travel wise, we are well positioned with easy access to the M20 for Dover, Ashford and London and the A260 for Canterbury. Folkestone West Station is 10 minutes away where you can reach London St Pancras in under one hour on the highspeed rail service. The Channel Tunnel terminal is just 15 minutes away.

This has been a wonderful holiday home for us for the past 10 years. There is nothing better than arriving here on a Friday evening after a busy week and being able to relax and enjoy the views. We are just across the road from steps down to the fantastic Blue Flag West Bay and in the summer months we spend as much time enjoying the beach as possible. During our time here we have update and extended the property to create the amazing home you see today, which is just ready for new owners to walk into and not have to do anything except install their furniture. We also designed it to be very low maintenance and is very much a ‘lock up and go’ house if you want it as a holiday home, but it can equally well be a very special permanent home for a large family revelling in the location. Westgate is a lovely seaside town and the station is within easy walking distance with the fast train to London taking just over an hour and a half. Westgate is also a very friendly community with a village like atmosphere. It has some charming and individual shops including a unique parade of individual canopied shops and cafes as well as an excellent and inexpensive cinema, a golf course and  some very good restaurants in the vicinity including the Michelin recommended Quince.

In 2014 further work was undertaken, which included an extension and the house became a smart homeDuring the 19th century the house was owned by the uncle of the renowned botanist and pioneer of Kew Gardens, Sir Joseph Banks, and the spectacular gardens and grounds were laid out and planted, with many exotic and rare species trees remaining today.

We were the first public owners of a property on this site back in 1998 and have thoroughly enjoyed living here ever since. It is a wonderful family home and, as it is in a cul-de-sac, it is very safe for children and pets and virtually all the houses near ours have been family homes with kids providing a very friendly community. During our time here we have put in new bathrooms and the kitchen but still kept all the historic period features that give it such a great character. The property is in a wonderful location as we are only a very short distance from the seafront and some useful local shops along the Strand where you will find the bandstand and the Downs Sailing Club and where regular events are held. We can walk into Deal town centre in about 10 minutes and enjoy the wonderful shops, restaurants, seafront and famous pier as well as the Saturday market, while Tides swimming pool complex is not far away. The fast train from the mainline station at Walmer can whisk you to London in under an hour and a half, and excellent educational facilities are available in the vicinity. These include the Kingsdown and Ringwould Primary school rated Outstanding by Ofsted as well as first class grammar and private schools in Dover, Sandwich and Canterbury. There are the Kingsdown and Walmer and the Royal Cinque Ports golf clubs for golfing enthusiasts and, if you want to go slightly further afield, there is also the championship course at Royal St George's as well as Princes while other sports clubs include rugby and bowls.

What the owner says: I have actually lived in Deal for the past 55 years and in this charming house for many years but I now feel it is time to downsize. I have always loved the town with its plethora of quaint streets, period properties, excellent restaurants including the Dining Club, The Blue Pelican and Little Harriet’s tea rooms and a raft of attractive independent shops as well as the Saturday market and the seafront with its historic pier. Indeed living opposite the pier I thoroughly enjoy watching the people passing by and the activities on the pier and the beach as well as being able to stroll to the shops in a minute. For sporting aficionados there are a number of clubs available in Deal and Walmer including rugby, bowls, tennis and croquet as well as the Tides swimming pool complex, the Downs Sailing club and the rowing club. While for golfing enthusiasts the Royal Cinque Ports and Kingsdown and Walmer golf clubs might beckon or, if you want to go slightly further afield, there are the championship golf courses in Sandwich. There are excellent primary schools in the area including Warden House, rated Outstanding by Ofsted, while excellent grammar schools are available in Dover, Sandwich, Ramsgate and Canterbury with first class private schools in Dover, Ramsgate and Canterbury. These are easily accessible by train from Deal station, which is only a short walk from the property. The station is also useful for commuters as the fast train can whisk you to London in under an hour and a half and if you want a trip to the Continent there is easy access to Dover docks and the Channel Tunnel.

This property was our parents’ pride and joy and for more than four decades they revelled in the space, the history, the character and the location along a quiet no through road. Having direct access to the Military Canal footpath allows you to walk into Hythe in one direction or taking the country route the other way and even having the opportunity to spot some of the animals in the Port Lympne Animal Park. It is close to the dog friendly Unit 1 pub and craft centre and not far to Botolph’s Bridge pub restaurant. It is also a wonderful area for families with the sandy beach at Dymchurch not far away and plenty of places to go for walks and for anyone who enjoys fishing the canal offers good sport. With regard to education there are good local primary schools including Lympne and Dymchurch, excellent grammar schools in Ashford, Folkestone and Canterbury and first class private schools in Canterbury and Ashford. At the top of the hill is Lympne, most famous for Port Lympne Animal Park but also for its impressive castle that is now a fairytale wedding and events venue as well as having a Medieval Pub open most days and the Naughty Dog which is a very dog friendly restaurant. There is also the County Members pub and a restaurant and overnight accommodation at Port Lympne and the village also includes a convenience store and post office. However Hythe is only about five minute drive with its array of individual shops, restaurants and pavement cafés as well as a range of supermarkets including Waitrose and Sainsbury’s and the world famous Romney Hythe and District miniature railway as well as a plethora of sports clubs including the Sene Valley Golf Club. You can take a train from Westenhanger station but it is only about 20 minutes to Ashford for the high speed train and shorter journey times and it is not far to the M20 and Channel Tunnel for a trip to the Continent.

We have always loved this cottage and, if we could take it with us on our move to Northern Ireland, we would. It is an incredibly special place with a wonderful character and, whether it is ‘dressed overall’ for Christmas or bathed in summer sunshine, the place is a home for all seasons. We love the fact you can wander up to the Glen for an interesting walk or enjoy a day on the beach with family and friends. Walmer has some local shops, bars and restaurants as well as the bandstand and Downs Sailing Clubhouse along the Strand. The fast train from Walmer station can whisk you to London in under an hour and 20 minutes while it is not far only a short drive to Dover and Folkestone for trips to the Continent. Deal is close by with its plethora of quaint streets, period properties, excellent restaurants including the Dining Club, The Blue Pelican and Little Harriet’s tea rooms. There are also a raft of attractive independent shops as well as the Saturday market and the seafront with its historic pier. Golfing enthusiasts can enjoy their game at the Kingsdown and Walmer and the Royal Cinque Ports golf clubs and if you want to go slightly further afield there are also the championship courses at Sandwich. As far as education is concerned there are very good primary schools in the area, including Warden House, rated Outstanding by Ofsted, while a wide variety of excellent grammar and private schools are available in the nearby towns.   *The Glen is a former chalk quarry in the grounds of Walmer Castle and was originally created by William Pitt the Younger and his niece Lady Hester Stanhope between 1802 and 1806 and was resurrected in 2019 and includes woodland walks, interesting plants and bird wood carvings.

This has been a very special place for the past 30 years in an amazing and tranquil location with wonderful views and places to go for walks but it is time to downsize and move closer to family. While we have enjoyed updating the property over the years, including converting the garage, there are plenty of opportunities for new owners to put their own stamp on the house and create their own unique and individual home. We are not far from Kingsdown with its three pubs, a good primary school, convenience store and post office as well as the Kingsdown and Walmer golf club. Walmer includes local shops, bars and restaurants, a bandstand, the Downs Sailing Clubhouse and a mainline station with fast trains to St Pancras taking an hour and 20 minutes. The Tides swimming pool complex is not far away and Deal is close by with its plethora of quaint streets, period properties, excellent restaurants including the Dining Club, The Blue Pelican and Little Harriet’s tea rooms. There are also a raft of attractive independent shops as well as the Saturday market, the seafront with its historic pier and the Royal Cinque Ports golf club and, if you want to go slightly further afield, you will find the championship courses at Sandwich. As far as education is concerned there are very good primary schools in the area while a wide variety of excellent grammar and private schools are available in the nearby towns.

We fell in love with the house the minute we walked into the lovely large living space some 39 years ago and have enjoyed living in this lovely family home ever since. While we have been here we have modernised the whole place including recently updating the bathrooms and kitchen. It will be a real wrench to leave and we will cherish the memories of our time here but we feel it is time to downsize. Kingsdown is a charming fishing village with a golf club, a long seafront, a general store, post office, butcher/deli and three pubs including the dog friendly Zetland Arms as well as the Kings Arms with its speciality nights. You can drive or cycle along the lower road parallel to the seafront to Upper and Lower Walmer with shops and restaurants along the Strand but, being close to the countryside, we have the best of all worlds. The mainline station at Walmer, with its high speed train that can whisk you to London in an hour and 20 minutes, is particularly useful for commuters or if you want a day out in Town. Dover and the Channel Tunnel are within easy reach for a trip to the Continent, while the charming seaside town of Deal is quite close by with its wonderful shops, seafront, eateries and Saturday market. If you feel energetic, the Tides swimming pool complex is not far away while, for golfing aficionadas, as well as the Kingsdown and Walmer golf club, Deal includes the Royal Cinque Ports club but, if you want to go slightly further afield, there is also the championship courses in Sandwich. If sailing is your interest there is the Downs Sailing Club with its clubhouse along the Strand in Walmer. There are a number of good primary schools in the area including the Outstanding Kingsdown and Ringwould and Warden House in Deal, while Dover, Canterbury and Sandwich offer excellent grammar school facilities with top class private schools in Dover, Canterbury and Ramsgate.

We bought this property some 30 years ago because the location is simply amazing. It is very quiet, secluded and private and, looking out over the fields and the spinney, makes you feel you are deep in the countryside. However you are just a few minutes’ walk from a supermarket and a number of excellent primary, secondary and grammar schools, while Broadstairs town centre and the seafront is only about a mile away. It is also not far to Margate and the Westwood Cross shopping centre with its high street stores, restaurants, cinema complex and casino. The property was originally part of the Dane Court Manor estate and was in a somewhat parlous state when we arrived and, as there was no road access to the property, we had to force our way through the undergrowth to reach the bungalow. However it has been a real ‘labour of love’ creating our charming home, garden and the spinney. We also constructed the garage that could easily be converted into a separate annexe, subject to the appropriate permissions, and we installed the road, the automatic gate and surrounding fencing to provide added security and have extended and updated the property over the years, as well as adding solar panels and batteries. Much as we love it here, we feel it is now time to downsize and pass the baton on to new owners who we hope will get as much pleasure out of the property as we have. The Victorian seaside town of Broadstairs includes a variety of individual shops, bars and excellent restaurants as well as a cinema and theatre and annual events such as Folk Week, the Dickens Festival and the Food Fair as well as a mainline station with fast trains to London taking less than an hour and a half. While Margate offers the famous Main Sands, the Turner Gallery, Dreamland Amusement Park and the interesting Old Town with its quirky shops, galleries and eateries. There are also numerous sports clubs available including cricket, tennis, bowls, squash and the renowned North Foreland Golf Club.   Historical Note: Dane Court Manor was built in the 18th century, although an earlier property did exist dating back to pre-medieval times, but the latest manor house was demolished in the early 1960s and replaced by Dane Court Gardens, with the nearby Grammar school being named after the Manor.  There is a large cropmark complex in the fields adjacent to the property that includes a number of ring ditch and pit features and believed to be the remains of a Roman villa with superimposed Anglo-Saxon structures or could have been a settlement site associated with the site of a Jutish cemetery in St Peters churchyard. Under the circumstances, with its archaeological importance, it is unlikely that the fields would ever be built on.

What the owner says From the moment we first arrived here, we knew we had found somewhere special. The location has been one of the greatest joys of living here, quiet, elegant, and wonderfully convenient, with everything Broadstairs is loved for just a short stroll away. One of the greatest pleasures has been our proximity to the town centre, only minutes from the doorstep. Broadstairs’ charming high street, with its independent boutiques, artisan cafés, and friendly local businesses, has always felt like an extension of our home. Whether popping out for fresh bread in the morning or enjoying an evening drink, the town has a warmth and character that never fades. Equally delightful is how close we are to the beach. Viking Bay, with its golden sands and sweeping views, has been our go‑to place for morning walks, family days, and those spontaneous sunset moments that make coastal living so magical. The sea air, the sound of the waves, the sense of calm, it’s all just a gentle walk from the house. For commuters or visitors, the train station is conveniently nearby, offering high‑speed links to London. It has made travel effortless, whether for work, weekends away, or welcoming guests. Families will appreciate the excellent selection of schools within easy reach. Broadstairs is known for its strong educational options, and having them so close has always been a real advantage. Living here also means being part of a vibrant and culturally rich community. Broadstairs hosts a wonderful calendar of events throughout the year, and we’ve loved having them right on our doorstep. Folk Week, with its music, dancing, and joyful atmosphere, brings the town alive every summer. Dickens Week celebrates the town’s literary heritage with charm and creativity. The food fairs are a highlight too—showcasing local produce, artisan makers, and the best of Kent’s culinary scene. And of course, the restaurants. Broadstairs is blessed with an exceptional dining scene, from cosy seafront eateries to fine dining experiences. Being able to walk to so many outstanding places has been a luxury in itself. Everyday amenities, supermarkets, pharmacies, cafés, parks, and leisure facilities, are all close by, making life here both effortless and enjoyable. It’s a location that offers the perfect balance: peaceful residential living with the very best of Broadstairs just moments away. After many happy years, we can say with confidence that the location of 19 The Vale has been one of its greatest treasures. It offers not just convenience, but a lifestyle, coastal, cultural, connected, and truly special.

It is surrounded by a brick wall and shrub borders flanking steps up to the large lawn interspersed with trees and shrubs where children and dogs have space to run around.
