House For Sale £775,000
The Log Cabin is an exceptional property located on the famous Dungeness private estate, one of the renowned railway carriage conversion cottages. The unique nature reserve is the backdrop for this beautiful beach house that is built around two 1920's railway carriages in a T shape. The Log Cabin benefits from its singular position set apart from the other cottages, towards the sea, its sympathetic yet practical conversion, its spaciousness and the unusually large freehold plot in which it stands.
Gated private parking for a couple of cars means you are off the main road. There is a bike store to the side of the house. The garage can be reached from the entrance hall as well as from the drive.
The front door leads into a welcoming porch area - with plenty of room for coats and shoes. From here it's into the entrance hall (with internal door to the garage) and main living spaces.
This gorgeous home has a large open plan living area with a wood burner and bifold doors onto a south facing garden that leads straight onto the beach. The plot extends beyond the fence line. Just off this room is a glassed study/reading room.
There are 3 double bedrooms comprising a double aspect master bedroom with views across the shingle and two double passenger carriage bedrooms with views inland. An original train door makes a novel entrance to the middle bedroom.
The cattle carriage kitchen has original 1950's cabinets, Belfast sink, full size electric oven/hob, and microwave. The kitchen also leads out onto the garden.
There is a large double aspect dining room that enjoys views to the lighthouse and across the beach.
The passenger carriage family bathroom has a full length bath with shower.
The Dungeness Nature Reserve is an amazing place to visit all year round with its shingle beach, and vast open saltmarsh inland. It's a great spot for birding, cycling, walking, and fishing. Attractions are the rh&D steam railway, the old lighthouse, and Derek Jarman's Prospect Cottage; the rspb bird reserve is very close by, as are the Denge Marsh sound mirrors.
With the Folkestone Eurotunnel and Dover port close by France is in easy reach. The proximity to the M20 means smooth access from Essex, London and Kent. A short drive along the coast to the West is Camber Sands, Rye and Sussex.
The property has been busy as a holiday-let over the last few years; prior to that it was the family home of the present owners, who will happily vouch that their time there was some of the happiest, and invite you to view this marvelous place for yourselves.
