Hope Bay Studio is a group of three separate dwellings in 13 acres on the iconic White Cliffs of Dover which have incredible views out over the English Channel to the French coast. Available for the first time in almost 60 years, the property comprises a large property built in 1937 together with a purpose-built artist's studio and two detached bungalows.
The whole property requires modernisation but it is an offering full of potential with 13 acres of land along the top of the cliffs included in the sale. The main house has a drawing room, sun room, kitchen, breakfast room, five bedrooms and two bathrooms, while the guest bungalow has two bedrooms, a sitting room and a kitchen. The staff bungalow offers two bedrooms and a living room plus kitchenette.

These main dwellings sit in around three acres of landscaped gardens and the remaining land has been left as natural downland offering nature, wildlife and sea views for miles. The house is all adjacent to land owned for the most part by the National Trust.
The pretty seaside village of Kingsdown is just one mile to the north and offers a small selection of shops, a post office, butcher, a selection of pubs and a primary school. The historic town of Deal is just five miles and Dover is eight miles.
The guide price is £1.4m. For further information please contact Jackson-Stops & Staff on 01227 781 600 or visit www.jackson-stops.co.uk.
