About this property

While there may be a considerable number of ‘unique’ properties in this country, there are unlikely to be many that include the only entrance to a labyrinth of subterranean tunnels and caves that descend to some 50 to 60 feet below ground in some places and extend a long way under roads, fields and houses in Eastry village. If you add the legend that Thomas Becket hid in the caves while fleeing the wrath of Henry II before returning to Canterbury where he was murdered, you do have a property that is truly unique and steeped in history.

The agent hasn't said which band this home is in; you can look it up on GOV.UK. In Dover, 2026/27 bills run from £1,641 a year in band A to £4,923 in band H.

Figures from MHCLG (Open Government Licence v3): the average bill for each band across Dover, including the typical parish precept, so a parish's own bill can differ a little. Discounts lower the bill, such as 25% off for an adult living alone.
