4 bedroom semi-detached house

An appealing attached home set in a remarkable coastal position atop the iconic White Cliffs. The property offers four bedrooms and generous reception space, set in delightful grounds and enjoys direct access to walks along the National Trust clifftop and surrounding countryside, taking in spectacular sea views.

White Cliff sits in a commanding position on the White Cliffs from where it derives its name. The home features adaptable and spacious accommodation with period charm, including original fireplaces, mellow wood flooring and timber panelling throughout.

The main reception room is the 34ft drawing room, a vast space with fine views out to sea and an impressive fireplace fitted with a log-burner. Steps lead to a comfortable family room with a stove. A conservatory opens onto timber decking via French doors, an ideal spot for al-fresco dining whilst taking in the fresh sea air.

Further reception rooms include the study with its ornate open fireplace, and the garden room, a conservatory-style room with a ceiling lantern skylight and French doors to a terrace.

The kitchen offers a range of fitted base and wall units, with an integrated oven, hob and extractor hood and space for all the necessary appliances.

There are three bedrooms on the ground level, one of which has its own washbasin. A spiral staircase leads to the upper level, where there is a generous fourth bedroom and access to eaves storage. Bathroom facilities are found on the ground floor, including two shower rooms.

A detached annexe with double bedroom, kitchen/living area, shower room, sauna, and set in a generous garden with sea views, is available by separate negotiation.

The property is accessed via The Front, a single-track lane running along the clifftop. A driveway leads to a parking area.

The peaceful, private garden includes well-maintained lawns to the front, meadows, an orchard, shaded woodland areas, border beds with a variety of shrubs and flowering perennials and a wealth of mature trees and established hedgerows.

Of particular note is a fascinating rose garden set into the slope backing onto woodland, allowing one to enjoy the sound of nature and find a cool place to retreat to in the summer heat. Terraced paths zigzag down to the foot of the garden.

St Margaret's village provides a range of local amenities, with further leisure, educational and shopping facilities in nearby Deal, Dover and Canterbury. There is also an array of well-regarded schooling available.

St Margaret’s Bay is a sheltered haven, with a clifftop mainly in the care of the National Trust providing some delightful walks and the shingle beach offers a popular café and an inn, The Coastguard. There are golf courses at nearby Kingsdown and Deal together with St George's at Sandwich.

Communications links are excellent: the nearby A2 provides access to the M2, the A20 at Dover links to the M20 and Martin Mill station provides the high-speed service into London St Pancras. The area has good access to the Continent via the Port of Dover and Eurotunnel.
