Property description & features

A handsome marine side residence in arguably one of the most sought after locations in St Margaret's Bay. Open plan kitchen/living room, family room, four bedrooms, two bath/shower rooms, garages, gardens. EPC Rating: D

Situation
St Margaret's Bay consists of an attractive fold in the dramatic White Cliffs of Dover steeped in history and being located at one of the closest points to the continent. Neighbouring countryside is recognised as an area of outstanding natural beauty with dramatic clifftop walks, whilst below lies a sheltered beach being a combination of shingle and sand making this an idyllic location to live. The village centre itself is approximately one mile distant with general store, post office and local primary school. To the north lies the Cinque Port town of Deal (six miles) and to the south lies the Channel port of Dover, (four miles) with a mainline rail service inclusive of the Javelin High Speed rail link to London St Pancras (approx 67 minutes) and connection to the southern motorway network.

The Property
May Cottage is a highly desirable Edwardian detached house set within delightful gardens. Its elevation adds to its presence and its beautiful symmetry makes for a handsome house with attractive proportions. A sweeping driveway leads to a side entrance vestibule and hallway with a useful coat cupboard and ground floor cloakroom which are located to the right hand side of the stairwell. Improvements by the present owner now create a fourth bedroom on ground level and a snug/study overlooking the rear garden. An open plan capacious kitchen/family room has a modern fitted kitchen and island with quartz worktops, a host of integrated appliances, LED lighting and matching display cabinets. The triple aspect including slide and glide doors create a bright and airy space also taking full advantage of the views. The first floor includes three double bedrooms, family bathroom and en-suite facility.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on June 7, 2022

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on June 7, 2022

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
