It's not everyday that a property can render us speechless, but The Cliff House on the Dover coast is doing just that.
Set in 11½ acres on the edge of Dover’s white cliffs, The Cliff House enjoys long views of the Channel from almost every room. The impressive property is currently for sale via Knight Frank at a guide price of £4.25 million.
The 4,821sq ft interiors feature a vast, triple-aspect sitting room, a large drawing room and a family room on the ground floor, plus five bedrooms upstairs, including the magnificent master suite, which comes with its own sitting room, dressing room and access to a panoramic balcony.
Additional accommodation is available in an annexe and two other buildings, one of which is currently let out.
The lawns outside the main house, sheltered by woodland, are ideal for outdoor entertaining. Also on the grounds are a swimming pool and a Grade II-listed lighthouse (not in use).
