Combining period charm with thoughtful modern updates and a dazzling coastal outlook, this beautiful Edwardian property for sale in Dover offers an exciting opportunity for spacious seaside living.
In many ways, this five-bedroom property, built in 1901, is a prime example of Edwardian architecture. During this period, many urban dwellers swapped the narrow terraces of dense cities such as London for sprawling homes in the suburbs – or, better still, by the sea.
Perched on a little hill in Kingsdown, Kent, this handsome property doesn't just offer coastal living but postcard-worthy sea views. And despite its Edwardian origins, it is well-equipped for modern life, having been thoughtfully updated by its current owners.
A shingled front garden, planted with various trees and shrubbery, leads to the house. Step through the glazed front door, and you're welcomed into a large entrance hall, where original internal windows looking through to the kitchen offer a first glimpse of the sea beyond.
At the heart of the home is an open-plan kitchen and dining area, centred around a large L-shaped island fitted with orange-panelled banquette seating. Miele appliances include two ovens, a microwave and a dishwasher, while bespoke cabinetry and a separate utility room with built-in joinery and an additional sink provide plenty of storage and workspace.
However, the standout feature of this space – and arguably the entire property – is the unobstructed view of the sea. Sliding glass doors stretch across the rear wall, opening onto a peaceful terrace with uninterrupted views across the English Channel.
The light-filled living room sits to the left of the kitchen and also enjoys the coastal outlook, framed by full-height box bay windows. A log burner sits within a fireplace alcove, while original oak floorboards add warmth and character.
The first floor accommodates four double bedrooms, while the fifth is located within a separate annexe, complete with its own bathroom and an open-plan kitchen and dining room. The principal bedroom benefits from a private balcony with panoramic views of the coastline as well as a walk-in wardrobe and an ensuite bathroom with a slipper bathtub.
This striking coastal home is on the market with The Modern House for a guide price of £1,675,000.
