About this home
A Characterful Four-Bedroom Home Opposite Kearsney Abbey | £425,000–£450,000
A home that offers far more than meets the eye…
Tucked away within a small and exclusive development in the heart of the ever-popular village of River, Dublin Mews is a beautifully converted four-bedroom home combining character, style and surprisingly generous living space. And with the stunning grounds of Kearsney Abbey directly opposite, the setting is every bit as special as the house itself.
From the moment you step inside, the property has an immediate sense of warmth and personality. The impressive open-plan lounge and kitchen forms the true heart of the home, with stylish finishes, a feature log burner and large bifold doors flooding the space with natural light and opening directly onto the rear garden.
Whether it’s relaxed family breakfasts, entertaining friends around the kitchen island or cosy evenings in front of the fire, this is a space designed to be enjoyed.
The ground floor also provides a useful utility room and cloakroom, while beneath the house are cleverly designed cellar rooms offering a wealth of additional, versatile space. Home gym, cinema room, playroom, office, hobbies or simply fantastic storage – the choice is yours.
Upstairs, there are four well-proportioned bedrooms, including an impressive principal bedroom with a luxurious en-suite featuring both a freestanding bath and separate shower. A beautifully presented family bathroom completes the first floor.
Outside, there is off-road parking for two cars, together with a pleasant rear garden providing the perfect space for summer evenings, alfresco dining or simply enjoying a little peace and quiet.
And then there’s the location…
It’s difficult to overstate just how appealing the position is. Kearsney Abbey sits directly opposite, placing acres of beautiful parkland, mature trees, scenic walks and one of Dover’s most attractive historic landmarks virtually on your doorstep.
River itself is a hugely popular village, offering a wonderful community atmosphere alongside a local primary school, shops, pubs and excellent transport connections. Kearsney railway station is nearby, while the A2 provides straightforward access towards Canterbury, the coast and London.
For those who love the outdoors, the surrounding countryside and Kent Downs provide an abundance of walking and cycling opportunities, whilst Dover and the coast are also within easy reach.
A home with a difference
Dublin Mews is not simply another four-bedroom house. It offers character, flexible accommodation, modern family living and an enviable lifestyle setting – all within one of Dover's most sought-after village locations.
If you’re looking for somewhere that feels different from the usual four-bedroom family home, this is one that really deserves to be seen.
