Sandgate HillandMilitary RoadINCLUDINGBybrook FieldBybrook WayChichester RdValley Rd andsouthern part of Enbrook RdSandgate Hill and Military Road descendfrom the escarpments and meet at theVillage Green and Sandgate War Memorial,at the eastern end of Sandgate High Street.There are excellent views of the historicform of the original village of Sandgateand tempting glimpses of the sea fromboth roads. From Military Road there areimportant views of the row of cottages nextto the Castle, and from Sandgate Hill theRomney Marsh coastline together withparticularly attractive sunsets.The High Street rises to become SandgateHill near the listed former Primary School,which has now been converted into flats,and St Paul's Parish Church - both in theGothic Revival style. Development onSandgate Hill lies on both sides of theroad, linking Sandgate with the west end ofFolkestone. At the foot of the northern sideof the hill are two pairs of weatherboardedshipbuilders’ cottages dating from thelate 18 th Century and Enbrook Park, siteof the Saga Group’s offices designed byMichael Hopkins and Partners. EnbrookPark surrounds the Saga complex as anattractive and valuable open space onrising ground. Although alien to the scaleand materials of the Conservation Area theConservation Area Appraisal notes that theSaga complex is of high quality and thatthe development of which has helped topreserve and enhance Park landscape.The building frontage on the south sideis less pronounced with significant gapsbetween detached houses set in largemature gardens. Buildings on this side areof mixed architectural styles. Many of thehomes are built into the slopes, with tallragstone walls bordering the roadside.Military Road is made up of more recentresidential properties on its western side.Built mainly between the two wars, these areset above the road on a short embankment,with ragstone boundary walls, with garagesor parking places at the rear. Propertiesoff Enbrook Road to the north date from asimilar period. A number of mature treescontinue the woodland from the escarpmentthrough to Enbrook Park, where there areunrivalled views as the park descendstowards the sea.32
