East Studdal

An exceptionally well-presented detached house set in approximately 3 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens with paddocks, stables and barn.

Constructed in 1998, Highfield Stables has been updated and improved over recent years to create an attractive and practical house, ideal for those seeking a modern easily managed home with land and equestrian outbuildings.

East Studdal is a quiet rural village located approximately 3 miles south of the coastal town of Deal which has a good variety of shopping and leisure facilities yet still retains much of its character as a former maritime town. There are several local golf courses, Royal Cinque Ports at Deal, Princes and Royal St Georges (venue of the British Open) at nearby Sandwich and also at Kingsdown. Other leisure facilities include the obvious water-related pastimes, squash club, rowing club, tennis, croquet and sailing clubs at nearby Walmer. The busy Channel Port of Dover and the Tunnel at Folkestone are within easy reach offering the added benefit of regular access to the Continent. At present there is also a fast train service from Dover (to London St Pancras approx. 1hr 5 mins), and regular trains from Martin Mill (to London St Pancras approx. 1hr 15 mins) and from Shepherds Well (to London Victoria).
