Knowlton is the kind of place you'd drive through and only half-notice — a scatter of houses somewhere in the Dover countryside, without a high street to speak of, a shop to browse, or a pub sign to slow down for. There's no dataset that captures a hamlet like this in any detail, and that absence is itself the description: this isn't a place with amenities to weigh up, it's a place defined by what surrounds it rather than what's in it.
What we do know is the frame it sits in. The parent district, Dover, has a median house price around £285,000 — itself below the national median house price of £281,000's near-neighbour figures and well under the South East regional median of £367,500. That tells you Knowlton belongs to a part of the country that hasn't been swept up in the region's steeper price tiers; you're closer to national-average territory than to the pricier commuter belts nearer London. Beyond that single anchor point, there's nothing on schools, transport, crime, or green space specific to Knowlton itself, and rather than guess at a character it doesn't have on record, it's better to say so plainly.
That leaves you with a judgement rather than a data picture. A hamlet with no recorded school, station, or shop count is telling you it functions as an address within Dover district rather than a self-contained community — your daily life would run on whatever's a drive away, not what's on the doorstep. If that sounds like relief rather than a drawback, this could suit you well; if you want a rail station, a school gate, and a corner shop within the same postcode, Knowlton won't give you that, and no amount of research will conjure one.
