Dream Property Of The Month: St Margaret's Bay

---

Each month, the Quealy & Co team highlights an inspiring property for sale, showcasing beautiful homes across the UK and beyond.

This month, our colleagues at The Modern House are marketing the breathtaking Seagrove at St Margaret’s Bay in Kent.

---

“Orientated towards the sea, with views that are nothing short of spectacular”

Swathes of glazing at the rear of this astutely contemporary house capture ever-changing and unobstructed views across the English Channel. Set on St Margaret's Bay, a picturesque and peaceful spot between Dover and Deal, the house is a coastal haven with four bedrooms and a footprint of over 3,370 sq ft. A sublime rear garden unfolds at the rear, where Mediterranean-style planting and traditional coastal grasses intermingle effortlessly.

Seagrove’s profile is at once thoroughly contemporary and at total ease with its seaside setting. Its gentle pairing of white rendered walls and larch cladding draw on the natural colour palette of the coast, the natural variation of its timbers almost driftwood-like.

---

---

Precise yet irregular windows pierce its profile at intervals, hinting at the light-filled spaces concealed within.

---

---

Set within the South Foreland Heritage Coast, St Margaret's Bay is known for the striking white cliffs it shares with its larger neighbour, Dover. Its pebble beaches are beautiful and attract visitors looking to walk or kayak. 

---

---

The village has several amenities including a shop and a post office. Within easy reach are the National Trust-managed South Foreland Lighthouse and the White Cliffs of Dover. For more adventures in history, Dover Castle and its Western Heights are also easily reached.

---

---

Deal is a short drive to the north. The town is well known for its excellent culinary scene: The Rose Hotel is a recent opening, offering stylish rooms and an award-winning restaurant, while bistro-style Frog and Scot and its sister wine-bar, Le Pinardier, are just down the road. Merchant of Relish, The Black Pig and Jenkins and Sons are the go-to for groceries, meat and fish respectively, but for local produce, there is also a fantastic Saturday farmers’ market. Dunlin and Diver sells beautiful gifts and accessories, while Old Coves and Mileage are great for furniture.

---

Seagrove’s position brings much of the Kentish coast, as well as the South Downs National Landscape, within easy reach. Martin Mill station is a short seven-minute drive from the house and runs services towards Deal, Ramsgate and Sandwich, as well as to London Charing Cross. Dover Priory is a little over a 10-minute drive from the house and runs services to London St Pancras in just over an hour.

---

Ferries run from Dover to France, and the Eurotunnel can be reached from Folkestone, around 35 minutes’ drive away.
