House For Sale £495,000
A chance to acquire one of the former fishermen’s cottages located just a stone’s throw from the beach in the popular after seaside village of Kingsdown.
Number 8 has been in the same family for many years, it retains many character features including the original ledge and brace doors and fireplaces, which together with its great location made these quintessential seaside cottages so sought after. Constructed of brick with painted rendered elevations under a slate roof, the accommodation comprises: porch opening into the sitting room, dining room with glazed double doors onto the rear garden, kitchen and bathroom.
Upstairs are 2 good sized double bedrooms, the one at the rear has a lovely view over the neighbouring gardens to the sea. There is potential to convert the roof space into an additional bedroom (subject to the usual consents, some neighbouring cottages have already done so). There is a small garden area to the front with a pretty, south facing cottage style garden at the rear, with a gate onto a path leading to the beach and local pubs.
KINGSDOWN is a former fishing village of charm and character and offers a range of leisure activities. In the village there is a small selection of shops and amenities including a Newsagent/Post Office, butcher, three Public Houses, the Church of St Johns and a Primary School (rated outstanding by Ofsted). Recreational activities include water sports and fishing along with Walmer & Kingsdown Golf Course. A further three Champion golf courses are a short drive away including Royal St Georges in Sandwich (venue for the British Open). The historic coastal town of DEAL has a good variety of shopping and leisure facilities yet still retains much of its character as a former maritime town. DOVER, with its docks and cross-Channel services, is seven miles away, offering fast access to the Continent and fast Rail Link access to London St Pancras travelling from the nearest station at Walmer (1hr 15mins).
