To the front there is a garage and in addition permit parking is available. Location The charming coastal village of Sandgate spans 2 kms of Kent coastline between Folkestone and Hythe. A few minutes journey from both towns by car or bus, or an easy seafront walk or cycle ride, you'll find beaches with long views over the English Channel, a high street famous for antiques and collectables, a wonderful selection of inns and restaurants including traditional fish and chips, as well as small independent shops. The Royal Military Canal starts in Seabrook and is 10m wide and 26 miles long providing some lovely walks. Although small (the parish boundary spans two miles of coast and extends inland up steep wooded hills), Sandgate has a fascinating history which embraces the times of Henry VIII, smugglers, the threat of Napolionic invasion and vital military roles in two world wars. Social reformers and celebrities of literature and the arts have made their home in the village.
