Coastguard Cottage boasts a unique rural cliff-top setting nestled in the scenic White Cliffs Country surrounding Dover, adjacent to the National Trust White Cliffs Heritage Land. The magnificent Dover Castle serves as a stunning backdrop, while delightful sea views overlook the Port of Dover, the Cruise Liner Terminal, and the English Channel. Enjoy direct access to miles of breathtaking cliff-top walks and rural cycling paths. The Dover Esplanade, Seafront, and town centre are just a short walk away via a cliff footpath. The Dover Ferry Terminal and town centre are easily accessible, providing direct rail connections to nearby Canterbury, Ashford International for Eurostar, and high-speed connections to London. Access to the nearby motorway network is also accessible.
The Property
No. 3 is one of eight similarly styled cottages, built in the late 1800s to a standard design by The Corporation of Trinity House for Coastguard Stations across the UK. This charming house beautifully preserves its original features while showcasing decor that enhances its historic character. Highlights include exposed brickwork, polished floorboards, and double-glazed sash windows. An oil fired Rayburn serves as both a heating and cooking facility, complemented by a cosy wood-burning stove in the sitting room for added warmth. The well-appointed accommodation spans two floors, featuring an entrance lobby, a ground floor shower room, and a spacious sitting room and kitchen/diner that span the front and back of the home. Upstairs, you'll find three elegantly designed bedrooms: two doubles and one single, each offering comfort and style.
