There is convenient access to the M20 motorway and within a 5-10 minute drive is the International Train Station- providing services to London in circa 37 minutes.
Footpaths lead from the plot through the neighbouring farmland and towards the village of Mersham, where there is a popular Primary School, Sports Club and two Pubs.
