Situation Alexandra s Manor is extremely well appointed, located in the far right hand corner of a private enclave built within the former walled gardens of a country estate. One of the period walls of the former kitchen garden forms part of the boundary of this property. At the far end of Nursery Lane is the village green known as The Lees complete with cricket green, a little further along the road is the primary school which includes a pre-school for two to four year olds. Beyond the school there is access to the pretty Parish church and the main road (A251) providing a swift link with the M2 Motorway (Jct. 6), the historic town of Faversham and in the opposite direction the thriving market town of Ashford. Both towns have stations with domestic high speed train services to London St. Pancras via Ebbsfleet and Stratford International Stations. Alternatively, there is swift access to Ebbsfleet via the M2 Motorway taking approximately 30 minutes. The Cathedral city of Canterbury can also be reached via the M2/A2, which can be particularly convenient for an increased choice of schools both in the state and independent sectors. There are grammar schools at Faversham, Canterbury and Ashford. Alexandra s Manor A superb family home originally constructed by the highly regarded Millwood designer homes. The property has been considerably enhanced during the present ownership, including the acquisition of additional land to enlarge the plot size which now includes a most delightful woodland spinney with a bark pathway and rear access to a village footpath.
