An opportunity to acquire one of the newly transformed former Coastguard Cottages situated within a private gated development in a wonderful location overlooking the English Channel in the sought-after seaside village of St Margaret’s Bay.

Working with multi award winning architects Hollaway Studio the cottages have undergone a comprehensive refurbishment, including substantial 2 storey, contemporary boat shaped rear extensions, which incorporate the new kitchens and bathrooms. The result is a blend of traditional cottage and contemporary architecture to create the perfect seaside home for the twenty first century. 

The village of St Margaret’s at Cliffe offers local shopping, post office, doctor’s surgery with pharmacy, newsagent/general store, primary school (Ofsted rated as ‘outstanding’), 2 pubs, The Smugglers and The Coastguard (one is on the beach, together with a café/bar), churches and two riding stables, whilst The Bay itself is sheltered for bathing, fishing, sailing etc.  The cliff top to either side of The Bay is mainly in the care of the National Trust and offers some delightful walks.  There are golf courses at nearby Kingsdown and Deal with St George’s at Sandwich (the venue of the 2020 British Open). The nearby award-winning seaside town of Deal offers a good range of small boutique style shops, a Saturday market and a selection of restaurants, bars and pubs.   The Cathedral City of Canterbury offers an excellent shopping centre together with leisure interest, theatres and county cricket.   Excellent links to the continent via the Port of Dover the Channel Tunnel and Eurostar from Ashford and London (St Pancras), 75 minutes from Martin Mill station (approx. 2 miles).
