“We bought this house from new five years ago and have thoroughly enjoyed living here. During lockdown it was a real haven and provided a wonderful home for both work and relaxation, especially nights in our cinema. We hope the new owners will be able to revel in everything this marvellous house has to offer and will find the comfort and pleasure that we have thoroughly enjoyed in this home. Although it is quite large, we have always felt it is an easy and practical house to live in and we love being able to wake up in the morning and look straight out to sea.

We have found St Margaret’s a delightful place to live, with a fantastic community spirit. We enjoy running and walking so it is wonderful to have the beach and the countryside virtually on our doorstep. The village provides everything we need on a daily basis and includes a post office, village shop, and a number of great pubs and cafes including the well-known Coastguard at St Margaret's Bay, with its fantastic beachside patio in the summer and a warm, cosy atmosphere in the Winter. For anyone with young children, the local primary school is rated Outstanding by Ofsted and there are also very active scout, guide and brownie troops as well as two riding stables for equestrian enthusiasts and of course the beach.

For regular commuters we are not far from Martin Mill and Dover Priory for the mainline station and high-speed rail to London, while Dover and Folkestone provide access to the Continent, the lovely town of Deal with its seafront, individual shops, bars and restaurants, is only a short drive or a delightful walk along the cliffs away. We can also walk down to the beach or stroll along to the South Foreland Lighthouse - the first in the world to have electric light.

St Margaret’s Bay has long been a magnet for famous names with Peter Ustinov, Noel Coward, and of course, Ian Fleming being among its past illustrious residents. There is still a friendly neighbourhood if you want to be involved in a variety of activities with a wide range of societies and clubs including bowls, tennis, cricket and football as well as a history and horticultural society, among many others. Not to mention the St. Margaret’s players for those with a more theatrical bent. If you enjoy golf the nearby Kingsdown and Walmer Golf club is easily accessible and slightly further afield you can play at three Open venues including Royal Cinque Ports beyond Deal and the championship courses of St George’s and Princes at Sandwich, all of which are less than 25 minutes’ drive away”.
