Crevecouer House, Dover Road, Westcliffe, St Margarets-at-Cliffe

A substantial five-bedroom detached residence, with exceptional views and striking barn style accommodation which has incredibly high vaulted ceilings and artistically presented accommodation.

Set within 0.48 acres of grounds which sit against a stunning backdrop of rolling countryside, Crevecour House is a substantial and beautifully reimagined residence offering over 4,000 sq. ft. of spacious, flexible living. This unique home also includes a collection of creatively repurposed outbuildings, each enhanced with thoughtful detail and exceptional functionality.

Originally built in 1999 as a luxury health spa hotel, the property has since been meticulously transformed into a one-of-a-kind private residence by the current owner, whose keen eye for design, craftsmanship, and architectural balance is evident throughout.

The house is cleverly configured to make the most of its uninterrupted rural views, with expansive open-plan living areas and bi-fold doors opening onto a generous patio. High-specification finishes run throughout the home, including a bespoke Smallbone kitchen and bathrooms, Karndean flooring, a Rako smart lighting system, and Sonos surround sound.

Externally, the home is equally striking, with a bold façade combining exposed brickwork, weatherboarding, and Accoya wood windows and doors. The central front door leads into a welcoming entrance hall, once the reception area of the original health spa, with internal arched windows framing the countryside beyond.

The main living space stretches across the rear of the property in a predominantly open-plan layout, thoughtfully zoned for cooking, dining, and relaxing. Exposed brick and locally sourced knapped flint, preserved from an 18th-century barn add depth and character, echoed in the bespoke surround of the double-sided wood-burning stove, which forms a striking focal point.

The kitchen is both stylish and highly functional, fitted with an extensive range of wall and base units topped with elegant quartz work surfaces, including a large central island with breakfast bar seating. High-spec integrated appliances include a double AEG oven with steam and microwave functions, a wine cooler, a double fridge freezer, dishwasher, and an induction hob with charcoal griddle and downdraft extractor.

The space if further enhanced by a well-appointed utility room with plenty of space for laundry appliances.

There are two bedrooms on the ground floor each with their own ensuite bathrooms, whilst this floor is complete with a boot room and WC found in the entrance hall.
To the first floor which could be accessed via an independent entrance, there are three large double bedrooms each with an expanse of space, vaulted ceilings and ensuite bathrooms.

OUTSIDE:

Crevecour House is set back from the road accessed via a long-shared driveway which leads to ample parking at the front of the house.

To the rear of the property a vast patio area is accessed via the dual sets of bi-fold doors. Mainly laid to lawn, with stepping stones leading to a desirable entertaining area with decked terraces, a sunken firepit and outbuildings which have been significantly enhanced offering wonderful views and multiple uses.

Its former residents include Noel Coward, Peter Ustinov and Ian Fleming, whose book Moonraker makes reference to James Bond visiting St Margarets Bay and staying in The Granville Hotel.

The bay itself is sheltered for bathing, fishing and sailing, whilst the cliff tops to either side of the bay are mainly in the care of the National Trust and offer some delightful walks.

Dover Grammar School is just a short drive away and currently rated outstanding by Ofsted.

Furthermore, town has recently completed a £26M leisure centre, with the first county-standard, eight-lane competition swimming pool in Kent, whilst the Dover Western Docks Revival plans to completely transform the Dover waterfront with a new marina pier and curve and a host of new shops, bars, cafes and restaurants.
