Full Description
Situation
Chapel Lane is a picturesque, winding lane that runs parallel to the High Street in the heart of the village. St Margaret's-at-Cliffe offers a range of local amenities, including a primary school, general store, post office, hairdressers, and a selection of pubs and cafés. The village is surrounded by gently rolling hills, the iconic White Cliffs of Dover, and the popular St Margaret's Bay beach, which is nestled within protected National Trust land. The nearby towns of Deal to the north and Dover to the south provide a wider selection of shopping, sports, and leisure facilities. Dover port offers regular ferry services to the continent, while the mainline railway station at Martin Mill, approximately two miles away, provides access to the Javelin high-speed service to London St Pancras.
The Property
Groves Cottage is a charming late Victorian detached cottage, elegantly arranged on a single level with striking weatherboard timber elevations beneath a pitched clay pantile roof. Nestled within the village conservation area, the property has been thoughtfully refurbished and enhanced by the current owners, transforming it into a serene retreat surrounded by a beautifully landscaped garden.
The interior is designed with a blend of character and modern convenience, featuring an inviting entrance vestibule that leads to a well-appointed kitchen with contemporary fitted appliances. Behind here is an open plan cosy sitting room, while two end-to-end bedrooms, each with their own en-suite facilities, offer comfort and privacy.
