Detailed Description

Description
Perched above Sandgate Esplanade, with sweeping south-facing views across the sea, around the bay to Dungeness and even the coast of France on a clear day, this exceptional home offers a lifestyle that feels effortlessly coastal, calm and connected to its surroundings. Designed to embrace light, space and the outdoors, it is a place where everyday living feels a little more special.

From the moment you step inside, the atmosphere is bright, welcoming and wonderfully relaxed. The dual-aspect sitting room opens directly onto the garden through bi-fold doors, while the beautifully appointed kitchen and open-plan dining/living space create the true heart of the home - ideal for slow breakfasts, long lunches with friends and easy indoor-outdoor living throughout the warmer months.

Whether working from home in the study, entertaining on the terrace or simply unwinding with the sound of the sea in the background, the layout has been thoughtfully designed to suit modern family life. Upstairs, four generous double bedrooms continue the sense of comfort and light. The principal suite enjoys its own south-facing balcony and sea views - the perfect setting for a morning coffee at sunrise or a glass of wine as the sun goes down. A family bathroom, en-suite with shower and loft space with future potential add further flexibility for growing families or visiting guests.

Outside, the south-facing garden provides an idyllic backdrop for alfresco dining, summer gatherings or peaceful afternoons overlooking the coastline. A spacious double garage, ample parking and additional loft storage complete the practicality of this impressive home. This is a rare opportunity to move straight into a beautifully curated coastal lifestyle.

Situation

The Lower Corniche is a small and exclusive development, situated on the hillside above Sandgate and overlooking the English Channel, approximately 2¼ miles from both the ancient Cinque Ports Town of Hythe and the larger town of Folkestone, recently voted as the best place to live in the South East. There are excellent educational facilities in the vicinity from primary schools to grammars, secondary schools, academies and colleges. The vibrant village of Sandgate where you can fill your day with paddleboarding, kayaking, kite surfing, jet foiling, canoeing or even a spot of fishing, enjoys an eclectic mix of village store, antiques shops, boutiques, public houses, cafes and restaurants and long stretch of shingle beach with sailing club a short walk away. The coastal path can be followed along the foot of The Leas all the way to Folkestone harbour and the revitalised "Harbour Arm" with champagne bar, restaurants, cafes and live music. The quaint, unspoilt Cinque Ports Town of Hythe, approximately 2¼ miles distant, provides a wide range of amenities including 4 supermarkets (including Waitrose, Sainsburys and Aldi), various independent shops and restaurants, together with a selection of sports and leisure facilities, golf courses, swimming pool, etc.

The area is fortunate in having particularly good communications as there are main line railway stations within easy reach and an access point for the M20 motorway (Junction 12) only 2 miles away, making it possible to reach Central London within about 1¼ hours by both road and in less than an hour by rail. The High Speed Rail Link offers a journey time to the City of just under an hour and is available from Folkestone West & Central and also Ashford Stations. The Channel Tunnel Terminal, with regular shuttle services to the Continent, is just over two miles away. The ferry port of Dover is approximately 12 miles away. (All distances are approximate).
