This has been a wonderful family home and originally designed to have everything we wanted. We have loved living in St Margaret at Cliffe and have delightful neighbours. However it is time to downsize and move to something smaller and let another family enjoy everything this special home has to offer. If a potential purchaser is interested in developing the site we had planning permission granted many years ago to build two houses at the end of the garden with access on to Lighthouse Road. Although this planning permission has lapsed, I am sure it would be possible to reinstate or update it.
The village provides everything needed on a daily basis and includes a post office, village shop, a number of restaurants, an hotel and four pubs including the well-known Coastguard at St Margaret's Bay. There are 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. For the younger members of the community there are also very active scout, guide and brownie troops as well as two riding stables
St Margaret’s has long been a magnet for famous names with Peter Ustinov, Noel Coward and Ian Fleming being among its past illustrious residents and well known celebrities continue to make it their home. For regular commuters we are not far from Dover and Folkestone for access to the Continent and Martin Mill and Dover for the mainline station and high speed rail to London. While it is only a short drive to the lovely town of Deal with its seafront, individual shops, bars and restaurants. We can get down to St Margaret’s Bay very quickly and there are wonderful walks to the South Foreland Lighthouse – the first in the world to have electric light – or you can stroll along to the Dover Patrol Memorial, further along the clifftop.
