Property description

This superb property originally built in 1970 has been imaginatively and sympathetically designed to blend with the hillside and local topography, as well as provide stunning views across the English Channel. On a clear day you can see France, watch the ferries going back and forth and in the evening you can even enjoy the twinkling lights of Calais. This lovely family home is in a very quiet and peaceful area as it is situated along a recently resurfaced private road that leads to the Dover Patrol Memorial and acres of National Trust land where you can walk for miles across breathtaking countryside. It is surrounded by a delightful garden and terraces with a large driveway providing plenty of off road and leading to the double garage and steps up to the front door.

Off the large, light and bright entrance hall are stairs down to the garage, a cloakroom and a large and useful study. Here you can work undisturbed because the main living area is on the next level up a short flight of stairs. This includes an elegant L shaped sitting room with a veritable wall of windows and bi folding doors to the front terrace while the gorgeous L shaped kitchen/dining room with its muted coloured units, double oven, hob and integrated fridge and freezer will delight anyone who enjoys catering and entertaining. You can wander out to the large rear terrace from here through the patio doors and enjoy the secluded garden that backs onto woodland.

Visitors can enjoy the privacy available in the charming guest suite on the next half landing. Here there is also the main bathroom with both a bath and a shower, while the three family double bedrooms and the stunning master suite are on the next floor. Above the guest bedroom is an amazing roof terrace providing excellent sea views where you can congregate for breakfast on a sunny morning. It is accessed via patio doors under a cathedral style window while at the top of the house is a galleried landing and a family room/snug that could also be used as another bedroom if required as it leads to a loft/storage room that could easily be converted to an en-suite bathroom. However, it is an ideal area older children looking for their own space.

What the Owner says:

We bought this house about three and a half years ago as we love the stunning sea views, looking out at the cliffs of Calais and the spectacular sunrises and sunsets. Natural light floods into the house and at night the moonlight reflecting on the sea can be enchanting. The ever-changing views that include passing ships, boats and yachts provide ongoing interest. However, we have now decided to move so we can be closer to our children and the growing number of grandchildren.
We love the friendly village with its restaurants, hotel and pubs as well as a post office, village shop and a library. There are great walks from immediately outside our front door including along the clifftops or down to the charming beach. Alternatively take a stroll along to the South Foreland Lighthouse - the first in the world to have electric light.
There are a wide range of societies and clubs including bowls, tennis, cricket, football as well as a history and horticultural society, among many others. The excellent primary school has been voted Outstanding by Ofsted.
For those with an interest in boating and sailing there are local marinas, yachting and dinghy sailing clubs. There is good access to London and beyond by road and rail while the village is also well served by buses. As we travel to France several times a year the quick crossing to France by either ferry or the tunnel is a real plus point.
