We will continue to live in St Margaret’s as we love the village and the surroundings but our future requirements have changed. This house is ideal whether we are spending time with family and friends or just working or relaxing on our own. The location is wonderful because it is so peaceful living along a private cul de sac that is maintained by the residents’ association. St Margaret’s provides everything you might need on a daily basis and includes a post office, village shop, doctor’s surgery and a pub, while we have a bus stop at the end of the road with buses going to Dover and Deal. There are plenty of places to go for walks along the famous White Cliffs of Dover including a stroll to the South Foreland Lighthouse – the first ever lighthouse in the world to have electric light! While much of the surrounding land has been owned by the National Trust since 1974 so will never be built on The village also has a wide range of societies and clubs including bowls, tennis, cricket and football as well as a history and horticultural society and amateur dramatics. For youngsters there are scout, guide and brownie troops as well as two riding stables and a primary school rated Outstanding by Ofsted. While Dover, Folkestone, Sandwich, Thanet and Canterbury have excellent grammar schools, many rated Outstanding by Ofsted and top class private schools are also available in the surrounding towns. It is not far from Dover and the Channel Tunnel for immediate access to the Continent and beyond, while the high speed train from Martin Mill mainline station can whisk commuters to St Pancras within about an hour and a quarter and even less from Dover Priory. It is only a short drive to the lovely town of Deal with its seafront, individual shops, historic pier, bars and restaurants while the City of Canterbury with its high street stores, independent shops, theatres, schools, universities and historic buildings is within easy reach. For golfing aficionados there is the Walmer and Deal golf club and slightly further afield are famous championship links courses including the Royal St Georges and Princes in Sandwich and Royal Cinque Ports at Deal. Sailing enthusiasts can enjoy their sport through the Royal Cinque Ports Sailing club out of Dover. St Margaret’s Bay has long been a magnet for famous names. Miriam Margolyes has a holiday home here while Lord Byron, Peter Ustinov, Noel Coward and Ian Fleming were among its past illustrious residents. Indeed it is said that ‘007’ was named after the number of the local bus! When you visit the village, you can understand why these well-known luminaries picked this special place to spend time in. You can stroll down to the bay and enjoy a drink at the famous Coastguard Inn or wander into the village for a meal at The Smugglers or go slightly further afield to the Lantern Inn in nearby Martin.
