This must be one of the biggest homes on the seafront in the area. -- Greg Wood, Director

Believed to date from around 1905, Dutch House is an exceptional period residence occupying one of Littlestone's most enviable positions, directly overlooking the beach and enjoying uninterrupted views across St Mary's Bay. Situated within the conservation area, this handsome coastal home extends over four floors and offers remarkably versatile accommodation, currently configured to include a substantial self-contained annexe, making it ideally suited to multi-generational living, guest accommodation or those seeking an income opportunity.

The principal reception rooms occupy the front of the house, where their elevated position makes the very most of the magnificent sea views. The elegant drawing room extends the full depth of the property, creating a wonderfully light and spacious room with windows to two elevations, whilst the adjoining sitting room offers a more intimate space in which to relax. Throughout, an abundance of original character has been retained, including exposed beams, timber flooring, traditional sash windows and attractive brick fireplaces. To the rear, the beautifully arranged kitchen/breakfast room centres around a substantial island with breakfast bar and enjoys an elevated outlook across the terraced gardens. An original dumb waiter remains as a charming reminder of the property's heritage.
The first floor provides four comfortable bedrooms, including an impressive principal suite with an en suite shower room and bay window framing the spectacular coastal views. A second front-facing bedroom also benefits from the same outlook across the bay, whilst the remaining bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom. A further bedroom occupies the second floor, creating an ideal guest room, studio or home office.
The lower ground floor has direct access to the garden and provides exceptional flexibility. It is currently arranged as a spacious self-contained annexe comprising a generous sitting room, kitchen/dining room, bedroom, shower room, separate WC and utility room. In addition, a large games room opens onto the garden and is complemented by a further bedroom and kitchenette. A secondary staircase links the accommodation, allowing the layout to be adapted with ease to suit a wide variety of lifestyles and family requirements.
Outside, the setting is every bit as impressive as the house itself with the front area the perfect vantage point from which to enjoy the ever-changing seascape, whilst the rear garden rises gently over three landscaped terraces, creating a series of spaces for outdoor entertaining, dining and relaxation. Mature shrubs, established planting and sections of traditional walling enhance the sense of privacy and character. The property also benefits from vehicular access from both Madeira Road to the rear and the unadopted Coast Road to the front.
