Bay Hill, St Margarets Bay, Dover, Kent, CT15

A beautifully presented detached house, with uninterrupted views towards France, in a peaceful hillside location.

Eldama occupies an enviable position, nestled into the hillside leading down to the bay of St Margarets, it offers unrivalled views over the Channel towards France and the ever changing seascape.

The house dates from the 1880’s and is understood to have been designed by George Devey, a locally renowned architect whose other projects of note include Northbourne Park School and St Albans Court, near Nonington. Devey was known for blending different styles and designs. Eldama is a tame project in comparison to others with its uniform weather-boarded exterior, though the substantial brick chimney is a signature feature.

The property has undergone a significant amount of work under the current owner, including a new kitchen, new bathrooms and redecoration throughout, all to a very high standard. The house now offers beautifully presented, well appointed and versatile accommodation over 2 floors with all rooms enjoying the benefit of the sea views. The front door opens to a useful porch area with built-in storage, before leading through to the kitchen. Stylishly designed and comprehensively fitted with a range of built-in appliances, as well as a 5 ring range cooker. The room is finished with wooden parquet flooring, a central island unit and French doors onto the balcony to optimise the views. The dining room, situated off the kitchen, is double aspect east and west, with a wide opening connecting through to the L-shaped sitting room. This is the perfect room in which to relax and take in the views and is fitted with a woodburner for the cooler days.

Beyond the sitting room is an internal hallway off which is the family bathroom, stylishly fitted with a large composite freestanding bath, lighting integrated into the tiled floor and a spacious walk-in drench shower. A double bedroom to the front of the house completes the accommodation on this floor and enjoys access to a decked area on the south western elevation.

From the hallway a staircase leads to the first floor landing. A study/occasional bedroom offers an inspiring office space, finished with Crittall glass doors to maximise the light. Two further generously sized double bedrooms, both with sea views and linked by a jack-and-jill bathroom, complete the accommodation on this floor.

There is also a utility room in the basement with plumbing for a washing machine and additional storage. This is accessed from the outside, down steps to the left of the front door.

OUTSIDE
A raised decked terrace surrounds the property at the front balcony level, providing plenty of space for tables and chairs for outdoor entertaining and al fresco dining. There is an area of lawn to the front. Steps lead down to a gravelled area which wraps again to the front of the property, and steps lead up the other side to the far side where there is more decked terracing, giving further outdoor space to enjoy. The property is well shielded on all sides giving excellent levels of privacy.
