SITUATION
Wilberforce Road is a popular location moments from the beach and is accessed from the main A259 that runs along the coast between Sandgate and Hythe. It is only a short walk along the promenade to the charming and sought-after village centre, with its eclectic mix of boutique shops, public houses, restaurants, cafes and rowing club. The coastal path can be followed along the foot of The Leas all the way to Folkestone Harbour with the recently regenerated "Harbour Arm" with champagne bar, restaurants, cafes and live music. Beyond the Harbour is the Creative Quarter, home to a host of artists, a thriving café culture and many other creative activities. Folkestone also boasts "The Leas" promenade providing a beautiful walk into Folkestone, along the cliff top from where unrivalled Channel views can be enjoyed.
The Cinque Ports Town of Hythe, with its wider range of amenities is approximately 3 miles away to the west and the larger town of Folkestone is about 2 miles to the east. There are a variety of sporting facilities available along the coast, including rowing and sailing clubs, a choice of golf courses in the immediate vicinity, together with the Hotel Imperial Leisure Centre.
The High Speed Rail Link service to London, with a journey time to St Pancras of less than an hour, is available at Folkestone West Station (1 mile) and Ashford International (16 miles). The M20 motorway network and the Channel Tunnel Terminal at Cheriton (Calais 35 minutes) are both about 3 miles distant. (All distances are approximate).
