Rara Opportunità DI Acquistare Una Casa Spettacolare In Un'iconica Località Balneare

Mermaid Cottage is set in a breathtaking location between the foot of the White Cliffs and the sea wall at St Margaret’s Bay. Part of a small enclave of four properties that hark back to the heyday of the 1920s and the fashionable Art Deco movement, this select haven has a rich history of famous connections, with Noel Coward and Ian Fleming as former residents.

The irresistible lure of Mermaid Cottage endures today, offering an exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire a stylish home with direct access to the beach and captivating views. Just 21 miles from France, the Bay is a favoured place from which to embark on a cross-Channel swim and the French coastline beckons from the balconies of this extraordinary home.

The current owner has completely renovated and modernised the house over almost 20 years. Its sharp, rendered exterior gives way to a suitably fresh coastal interior with a soothing palette and pared back luxury. The main reception room stretches across the front of the house, where the constantly changing sea views and passing ships mesmerise through large picture windows. Other vistas allow glimpses back to the cliff face and the dramatic coastline.

The front door opens to a generous lobby lit from above by a roof lantern. Great thought has been put into creating superb storage, with bespoke handmade joinery in almost every room. The library has double doors opening to a sheltered patio, immediately drawing in the sea views. A bespoke Smallbone kitchen is fitted to the rear of the house, with traditional Shaker cabinetry giving a timeless style.

Double doors from the principal bedroom open to a wide first floor balcony with the constant soothing noise of waves lapping the shore. An en suite bathroom provides a private haven. Bedroom 2 also enjoys the Channel views. A Jack and Jill shower room sits between this and the remaining bedroom.
