Situation
The property is situated in a quiet residential no through road leading to open countryside in a popular area of St Margaret's Bay. The surrounding countryside consists of gently undulating hills and the dramatic White Cliffs of Dover with the ever popular beach and protected National Trust land just a stroll away. The village is not only picturesque but has a flourishing community including local primary school and boasts a general store, Post Office, hair dressers and a selection of public houses and cafes. The larger towns of Deal and Dover to the North and South respectively offer a good choice of shopping, sporting and leisure facilities. Dover port provides regular services to the continent and mainline railway station with links to the Javelin high speed service to London St Pancras.

The Property
Temple Cottage is a charming late Edwardian detached home, built in the Arts and Crafts tradition and recently enhanced through a thoughtful programme of improvements by the current owners. The property also benefits from granted planning consent (ref: 24/00659) for the erection of a single-storey rear extension. Set back from the road behind a sweeping carriage driveway and surrounded by attractive gardens, the home offers well-balanced accommodation with period charm and modern updates. A welcoming storm porch opens into the reception hall, which features newly laid tiled flooring and retains the original cast iron cooking range, a nod to the property's heritage. Beneath the stairwell lies a refurbished cloakroom with a matching suite. The sitting room enjoys a dual aspect, filling the space with natural light and enhanced by the impressive ceiling height. A brick fireplace serves as the room’s focal point, complemented by attractive herringbone parquet flooring. Decorative leaded glass panel doors lead down to the open-plan kitchen/dining area, now reconfigured as a single space. The newly fitted country-style kitchen features wooden worktops and flows into the dining area, where glazed sliding doors open into the conservatory. This delightful space offers views across the garden and access to the paved sun terrace. From the useful utility room, there is integral access to the garage, which offers scope for conversion into additional living accommodation. Beyond the garage lies a restored and redecorated snug/home office, providing a quiet retreat. Upstairs, the staircase splits to provide access to four sumptuous bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a separate cloakroom. This floor has been fully redecorated and benefits from new carpeting throughout. Additional features include gas central heating, leaded light glazed windows, and the advantage of no onward chain.
