South Sands House

St Margaret’s Bay, Kent One of the best located coastal houses in Kent with stunning Channel views, now in need of some internal updating

South Sands House, Beach Road, St. Margaret’s Bay, Kent, CT15 6DZ

The property South Sands House offers almost 4,500 sq ft of light-filled, flexible accommodation arranged over three floors and benefits from additional self- contained annexe accommodation, all desig ned to take advantage of stunning sea views.

The ground floor accommodation flows from a welcoming reception hall with feature fireplace. To one end is the bright, triple aspect rotunda with central domed sky lantern and doors to the gardens. This leads through to a spacious drawing room with feature fireplace. Two large sitting rooms with feature fireplaces and a dual aspect office are also found off the central hallway.

A generous kitchen/breakfast room, in need of some cosmetic modernisation, opens into a dining room with feature bay window. Adjoining the two is a useful fitted utility room and the boiler room.

The lower ground floor offers extensive useful cellarage, suitable for a variety of uses.

On the first floor is the front aspect master bedroom with bay window, feature fireplace and large en suite bathroom. On this level are five further well-proportioned bedrooms, two with feature fireplaces and en suite bathrooms, one with an en suite shower room.

Outside South Sands House is set in sizeable gardens with a detached double garage and a separate single garage. There is a detached summer house annexe comprising a sitting room, kitchen and bedroom with en suite bathroom. The tennis court is a rarity for the location and arguably the finest located tennis court in Kent!

The remaining gardens comprise areas of level lawn bordered by well-stocked flowerbeds, viewing terraces and a block-paved terrace off the rotunda, ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining. The property as a whole enjoys a far- reaching panoramic vista over St Margaret’s Bay and the English Channel towards France.
