Situation
Clifton Cottage is situated on the Station Road close to the high street in St Margaret's at Cliffe, occupying a wonderful location in the heart of the village. The locality offers a good array of amenities within walking distance, including a general store, post office, hairdressers and a selection of public houses and cafes. This picturesque village has a popular sheltered beach with a cafe and public inn, surrounded by protected National Trust land, gently undulating hills and the dramatic White Cliffs. The Harbour town of Dover lies to the South with an impressive marina and the charming town of Deal to the North offers a mix of traditional seaside vibe, coupled with independent shops and plenty of eateries. The A2 provides easy access to the motorway network and rail services from Martin Mill link to the Javelin high speed to London St Pancras. A convenient bus service runs to and from the village to the surrounding area.
The Property
Clifton Cottage is a unique home formed by the thoughtful merging of two distinct properties—one pre-Victorian and the other from the late 1940's—creating a residence full of character and timeless charm. This enchanting cottage boasts a captivating façade and offers surprisingly spacious interiors. Set within generous, secluded rear gardens, it provides a perfect blend of history, warmth, and privacy. Upon entering, you are greeted by a central hallway that leads into the sitting room, which spans the full length of the property. This bright and inviting space benefits from dual-aspect windows that flood the room with natural light, complemented by a focal point fireplace and dramatic brick surround. At the rear, the charming cottage-style kitchen features shaker cabinetry and overlooks the beautiful gardens. It offers plenty of storage, including a larder and a traditional butler’s sink. From the kitchen, a door leads to a useful storage room with external access to the driveway. Adjacent to the kitchen is a central hallway providing access back to the sitting room and onward to a tranquil garden room. This peaceful retreat is flooded with light through French doors that open directly onto the garden. On the ground floor, you’ll find a convenient wet room alongside a versatile reception hall, which connects through to a separate formal dining room located at the front of the house. Upstairs, the landing leads to three generously sized bedrooms, including two spacious doubles. Two of the rooms offer charming views over the rolling countryside, while the principal bedroom benefits from dual-aspect windows overlooking the tranquil rear gardens. A separate bathroom and cloakroom complete the accommodation on this level, serving all three bedrooms. This much loved family home is double glazed, gas centrally heated and is being sold with no onward chain.
Outside
The property is set within generous, well-established gardens, bordered by mature hedging and trees that offer a high degree of privacy. A gravel driveway to the side provides ample parking, complete with electric charging facility, and leads to a large workshop/outbuilding measuring Approx 24' 1'' x 22' 2'' (7.34m x 6.75m), also useful for additional storage. The front garden is beautifully landscaped with a whimsical, cottage-style charm, featuring well-tended lawns and a variety of trees and shrubs that extend around to the side. A central pathway leads to the front door, with the property set back from the road behind an attractive low brick wall and surrounding shrubbery. There is access to the rear garden from both sides of the property, including through a wrought iron side gate. To the rear, the generous landscaped garden enjoys excellent seclusion, with well-stocked borders and a stone-paved terrace adjoining the property-perfectly positioned opposite the garden room. Attractive brick walls provide a beautiful backdrop and enclose much of the space, giving the garden a wonderful walled garden feel, full of charm and character and offering a peaceful, private setting.
