'Even my plants are transformed'

"You really feel that you are in the country as the train approaches Faversham, even the fields seem larger," says Daphne Jennings, who recently moved into a £105,000 twobedroom flat in Faversham, from Isleworth.

"I wanted to move to a cheaper area and chose Faversham for a number of reasons, one of which is to be near my grandchildren.

"As a non-driver, it is marvellous being able to walk to everything, even the station. I also love the many birds and that I can smell the sea and am on the edge of lovely countryside. Even my plants seemed transformed after only a few days of taking up residence here."
