A unique and characterful detached bungalow, in just under half an acre, set in the picturesque and sought after St. Margarets Bay.

Situation
Situated along a private road which carries on to the South Foreland and rolling countryside, Briar Cottage resides in a favoured location at the top of the village, adjoining National Trust Land within easy reach of the centre of St Margaret's at Cliffe, where a range of local amenities include a general store, post office, primary school and a selection of cafes, inns and restaurants. A regular bus service from the end of Lighthouse Road provides access to the larger towns of Deal and Dover where a wide range of independent and high street stores are present. The surrounding countryside consists of gently undulating hills, the dramatic white cliffs of Dover and the ever popular St Margaret's Bay with its secluded beach and popular inn; The Coastguard, set among protected National Trust land. The main line railway station at Martin Mill is approximately two miles away with links to the Javelin high speed service to London St Pancras.

The Property
A unique opportunity presents itself with this characterful detached bungalow nestled in just under half an acre of gardens adjacent to an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and affording views towards the South Foreland and Channel. Originally constructed as a guard house for WWII coastal defences, it underwent significant expansion and remodelling in the 1950's evolving into the characterful residence it is today. The current owners have implemented numerous enhancements yet there remains considerable potential for further extension and redesign. The layout exhibits a thoughtful and creative division between living and sleeping spaces. A spacious living and dining room takes centre stage featuring an inviting open fireplace and French doors that open to the garden. Beyond lies a sun room providing a serene vantage point over the garden and the picturesque vista beyond. The kitchen exudes a charming cottage style rustic design offering ample space for a breakfast table. Both principal bedrooms boast ensuite facilities and a separate cloakroom is conveniently situated off the hallway. A recessed area may serve as a study while a deeper alcove adjoining the main bedroom serves dual purpose with wardrobes and as a possible dressing room.
