An exceptionally well improved and presented semi-detached period cottage situated in a quiet yet convenient location in the sought after seaside village of St Margaret's at Cliffe. Believed to date from the early 1800's Fig Cottage has been sympathetically updated and improved by previous owners to create a character home with the all the benefits of modern living. The current owners have improved the cottage further with the creation of a sandstone terrace/seating area in the pretty cottage style garden and enhanced the interior decoration with a tasteful palette of Farrow and Ball paints.

The accommodation comprises a solid oak framed entrance porch, sitting room with wood burning stove, fully fitted kitchen/ breakfast room and basement dining room. On the 1st floor are 2 double bedrooms and a well-appointed bathroom. In addition, there is an adjoining workshop with potential to convert into a home office /hobby room.

The enclosed front garden comprises a block paved driveway parking space and a pretty south facing cottage style garden area with raised beds and a paved terrace. There is also a rear paved courtyard.

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'), 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).
