Guilford House Singledge Lane | Coldred | Dover | CT15 5A Seller Insight Guilford House Singledge Lane | Coldred | Dover | CT15 5A Seller Insight The house was originally built for us and over the years we have enjoyed not only living in this lovely home but also having the opportunity to keep horses and pigs. However we feel it is now time to downsize and, although we have spent considerably time and effort getting the plans passed for the redevelopment of the barn and yard, we feel it would probably be appropriate to pass this on to a new owner. The property is very conveniently located as it is only just over a mile to Eythorne with a good primary school, heritage railway, village shop and local pub while there is a mainline station at nearby Shepherdswell. It is two miles to Whitfield where you will find a primary school, hairdresser, doctor’s surgery and a vet as well as a post office, a pub, a garage and the Ramada hotel. There is also a village hall that provides a number of activities and you have access to a Tescos superstore and a number of other large, retail outlets that are very close by. Dover includes the port for easy access to the Continent while the town centre has a number of individual shops, bars and restaurants. Motoring enthusiasts can enjoy racing at Lydden circuit and sailors can join the Royal Cinque Ports Yacht Club, while golfers have a variety of choices from the Walmer and Kingsdown Golf Club or Broome Park to the Championship courses at Sandwich and Deal”.* * These comments are the personal views of the current owner and are included as an insight into life at the property. They have not been independently verified, should not be relied on without verification and do not necessarily reflect the views of the agent. Step inside Guilford House There are numerous options available if you are interested in Guilford House. The house itself is a large detached family home originally built about 40 years ago by the owner. It is accessed via double wrought iron gates and a long driveway past an enormous barn and a very large farmyard with numerous outbuildings that all form part of the overall property. Once through the inner gate to the substantial wraparound garden area and orchard you begin to realise that this house nestles in about 7.823 acres of grounds, perfect for equestrian interests. Once inside the house you can begin to appreciate the space available. There is a reception hall leading to the main rooms on the ground floor as well as the attractive staircase to the first floor. Plenty of character has been built into this house including the charming inglenook style fireplace and log burner in the L shaped lounge/dining room with its corner bar and large sliding glass doors to the garden. This character continues through into country style kitchen breakfast area which has a beamed ceiling, solid wood units housing and double oven and hob. This is the real hub of the household with a wood burning stove in the seating area. There is also a utility room, cloakroom and boot room on the ground floor as well as a very large office that was originally the garage and has double doors to the garden. Upstairs there is a wide galleried landing with windows offering great views across the surrounding countryside. There is a family bathroom with a bath and separate shower as well as five double bedrooms with lovely views, including the master with a vast en suite bathroom containing a corner bath and separate shower. This leads through from the dressing room area, which is flanked on both sides by built in wardrobes and cupboards. Planning The large barn currently contains numerous pig mobile pens and a couple of 12ft by 12ft sectional stables. However there is planning permission to convert this into three terrace houses but still leave sufficient room for a fourth property if required, subject to future permissions being granted. Planning permission has also been granted for the erection of three large barns in the yard. However the owners are quite flexible as to how the sale is apportioned willing to sell barn and a portion of the yard separately or alternatively they would be prepared to sell the entire property with the ongoing development available for new owners so there are a number of options that could be considered. It also means that future use of the property can be flexible as the barns could become American style indoor stables, used for storage of farm machinery, horse boxes or even turned into a storage facility for furniture etc. By Road Healthcare Entertainment Shepherdswell Station 2.4 miles Whitecliff Medical Centre 01304 830846 Royal Oak 01304 820926 Canterbury West Station 13.7 miles Whitefield Surgery 01304 820756 The Cricketers 01304 206396 Dover Docks 6.9 miles Kent and Canterbury Hospital 01227 766877 The Railway Bell 01304 823949 Channel Tunnel 12.6 miles Buckland Hospital 01304 222510 Kearsney Abbey Tea Room 01304 829046 Gatwick 80.1 miles The Marquis 01304 873410 Charing Cross 73 miles Education The Smugglers 01304 853404 Primary Schools: Best Western Hotel 01304 203633 By Train from Shepherdswell Eythorne Primary 01304 830376 Dover Priory 9 mins Whitfield Aspen School 01304 821526 Local Attractions/Landmarks Victoria 1hr 52 mins Sibertswold Sheperdwell Primary School 01304 830312 Crabble Corn Mill Charing Cross 2hrs 15 mins Dover College (Junior) 01304 205969 Kearsney Abbey Canterbury East 18 mins Northbourne Park School 01304 611215 Russell Gardens The White Cliffs of Dover and Samphire Hoe By Train from Canterbury West Dover, Walmer and Deal Castles High-Speed St. Pancras 54 mins Secondary Schools: Knight’s Templar Church, Dover Charing Cross 1hr 32 mins Dover Grammar (Boys) 01304 206117 Dover Museum Victoria 1hr 21 mins Dover Grammar (Girls) 01304 206625 Lydden Temple Ewell Nature Reserve Simon Langton Grammar (Boys) 01227 463567 Lydden Motor Racing Circuit Leisure Clubs & Facilities Simon Langton Grammar (Girls) 01227 463711 Walmer and Kingsdown Golf Club 01304 373256 St. Edmund’s Catholic School 01304 201551 Broome Park Golf Club 01227 830728 Sir Roger Manwood’s, Sandwich 01304 613286 East Kent Railway 01304 832042 King’s School, Canterbury 01227 595501 Dover Leisure Centre 01304 201145 Dover College 01304 852639 Dover Sea Sports Centre 01304 212880 GROUND FLOOR Entrance Hall Lounge 26’0 (7.93m) x 15’7 (4.75m) narrowing to 13’2 (4.02m) Dining Area 11’11 x 11’0 (3.63m x 3.36m) Utility Room Kitchen (L-shaped) 16’7 x 10’1 (5.06m x 3.08m) Breakfast Area 16’7 x 12’1 (5.06m x 3.69m) Rear Lobby Cloakroom Office 18’7 x 15’3 (5.67m x 4.65m) FIRST FLOOR Galleried Landing Master Bedroom 14’4 x 12’2 (4.37m x 3.71m) Walk In Wardrobe En-Suite Bath/Shower Room 12’3 x 12’2 (3.74m x 3.71m) Bedroom 15’7 x 14’0 (4.75m x 4.27m) Family Bath/Shower Room 11’4 (3.46m) x 10’1 (3.08m) narrowing to 5’5 (1.65m) Bedroom 5 16’0 (4.88m) narrowing to 13’8 (4.17m) x 10’1 (3.08m) Bedroom 2 16’5 (5.01m) narrowing to 16’2 (4.93m) x 14’7 (4.45m) Bedroom 4 16’1 (4.91m) narrowing to 14’2 (4.32m) x 11’0 (3.36m) OUTBUILDING Barn 106’1 x 27’5 (32.36m x 8.36m) OUTSIDE Rear Garden Front Garden Driveway 4 Paddocks Menage Yard Agents notes: All measurements are approximate and for general guidance only and whilst every attempt has been made to ensure accuracy, they must not be relied on.

The religious and spiritual challenges in the 21st century 2. Our new priest 3. The Benefice and what we can offer a. St Peter & St Paul, Temple Ewell b. St Mary the Virgin, Lydden 4. Canterbury Diocese 5. Dover Deanery 2 1. The religious and spiritual challenges in the 21st century It is challenging for a religious culture to provide the immediate gratification and answers of technology so embedded in today’s world. Equally the pace of life and often financial pressures place demands on busy family life. In common with many congregations we want to expand the number of families and young people in our churches. In order for our churches to become sustainable worshipping communities that effectively take mission into the local area we need to look at ourselves and identify what we do well and what we are not achieving and why. We need to listen to God, celebrate what is good and play our part in enriching communities. We therefore would welcome the leadership, inspiration and support of a priest to enable and encourage us on this journey. 2. Our new priest We are looking for a part-time stipendiary priest (0.2FTE; Sunday plus 2 days) who will: Grow and enable mission and ministry within the communities of Temple Ewell and Lydden Have a deep commitment to pastoral care Have a vision for mission and outreach Be a visible, compassionate and sensitive presence in the communities Be an effective

  • Morrice Lionel Man's Memoirs
    Records Of The “Mans” Of Kent Dedicated To The MAN Family And To Every Family Man Who Loves His Home Insert Photo of Morrice Lionel Man By M L Man Verrall Cottage High Halden Kent Transcribed by Steve Man July 2000 – May 2001 1 Feb 1st 1944 A cold continuous rain today – a spare hour or two – no further possible excuse for putting off this task to which my children urge me. For their sakes then I take up my pen and start off. They want from me a record of family doings in general & my own life in particular. I think they should have it. There is a great gap between the lives we led in the last century v quarter of this v life as it will be for them. They want to know the family traditions so that they may understand us of the past and carry on what is worth preserving of those traditions in the future. Where then to begin? “Hans Man” of Rochester 1080 AD? “William Christopher Man” of Cant. 1680 AD Best to begin with one’s own life story and let the rest come in as one writes. My earliest recollection is the horrid taste of the top of a brass bedstead, which I was tempted by its glitter. I was apparently sucking! I was very sick. My next was being stripped by my mother who was putting stuff on my “spots”. I was standing naked on her bed & two elder sisters were in their beds watching & I resented their presence. The same feeling of shame (false modesty according to the brains trust) arose in me a few years later when I was expected to bathe naked from a machine at Herne Bay whilst others had dresses and drawers on.

  • Draft Local Plan Proposed Site Allocations - Reasons for Site Selection
    Topic Paper: Draft Local Plan Proposed Site Allocations - Reasons for Site Selection Dover District Local Plan Supporting document The Selection of Site Allocations for the Draft Local Plan This paper provides the background to the selection of the proposed housing, gypsy and traveller and employment site allocations for the Draft Local Plan, and sets out the reasoning behind the selection of specific site options within the District’s Regional, District, Rural Service, Local Centres, Villages and Hamlets. Overarching Growth Strategy As part of the preparation of the Local Plan the Council has identified and appraised a range of growth and spatial options through the Sustainability Appraisal (SA) process: • Growth options - range of potential scales of housing and economic growth that could be planned for; • Spatial options - range of potential locational distributions for the growth options. By appraising the reasonable alternative options the SA provides an assessment of how different options perform in environmental, social and economic terms, which helps inform which option should be taken forward. It should be noted, however, that the SA does not decide which spatial strategy should be adopted. Other factors, such as the views of stakeholders and the public, and other evidence base studies, also help to inform the decision. The SA identified and appraised five reasonable spatial options for growth (i.e. the pattern and extent of growth in different locations): • Spatial Option A: Distributing growth to the District’s suitable and potentially suitable housing and employment site options (informed by the HELAA and Economic Land Review). • Spatial Option B: Distributing growth proportionately amongst the District’s existing settlements based on their population.
