This unique property is in a delightful part of Kingsdown, close to the golf course and not far from the beach. The original property was designed in Sweden and imported in the early 20th century, while a bespoke self-contained two storey annexe was added in 1988.

There is also a cellar currently used as a utility room. The first floor has a cloakroom and three bedrooms including a single and two dual aspect doubles with the principal having fitted cupboards and far-reaching views.

What the Owner says:

This property has been in our family for more than 50 years and it has been a wonderful home. We built the annexe when we needed it for a family member, however there are opportunities to reconfigure the property to create an impressive five bedroom family home or retain it for inter-generational needs.
Kingsdown is a charming fishing village with a general store, post office, butcher and three pubs. The mainline station at Walmer with its high speed train can whisk you to London in an hour and 20 minutes and Deal is quite close by with its wonderful shops, seafront and restaurants while the Tides swimming pool complex is not far away.
There are good primary schools in the area including Downs Primary and the Outstanding Kingsdown and Ringwould C of E primary, while Dover, Canterbury and Sandwich offer excellent grammar school facilities with top class private schools in Dover and Canterbury.
