St. Margaret's Bay

Situation

The property is tucked away off a small spur from The Droveway being a private road. This delightful setting with surrounding countryside consists of gently undulating hills and attractive walks across National Trust land including the dramatic White Cliffs of Dover. The village is not only picturesque but has a flourishing community including local primary school, general store and Post Office, along with a selection of public houses and cafes.

Dover port provides regular services to the continent and mainline railway station with links to the Javelin high speed service to London St. Pancras.

Outside

Externally, Svenska is set well back from the road, approached via a five-bar gate that opens to a private parking area and side driveway, leading to a single garage with additional storage space and housing the warm air gas boiler. The front garden offers privacy, screened by a variety of mature trees, shrubs, and well-established planting. A lawned area surrounds a pond, enhancing the overall sense of tranquillity. Side access leads to a separate rear garden, where a paved terrace provides an ideal spot for outdoor dining or relaxation, enjoying uninterrupted views across the surrounding rolling countryside. Steps descend to a lower lawn, which is privately enclosed by mature hedging, offering a peaceful and sheltered retreat.
