Sea Purse possesses possibly the most stunning location of any house on the South Coast - every visitor testifies to that. Sitting directly beneath the White Cliffs of Dover and a balcony’s width from the beach, this historically important house was previously leased by Noel Coward in the 1950s, with Ian Fleming leasing the adjacent house. Read James Bond’s Moonraker novel and it’s clear Fleming drew inspiration from this beautiful location. Coward’s friends - Spencer Tracy, Katherine Hepburn, and Evelyn Waugh amongst others - were frequent visitors. Sea Purse amazes every visitor. You can enjoy an uninterrupted, panoramic view of the English Channel, wake up to the sound of the sea on the shingle, look forward to long days on the beach, and relish relaxed suppers on the wrap-around balcony. This superb beach house is located at the far end of St Margaret’s Bay under the White Cliffs. It's just a few footsteps to the beach. Sea Purse was completely renovated in 2022 and is beautifully decorated throughout with great care and consideration given to the decor and furnishings to reflect its coastal position. With four bedrooms and two bathrooms, this property sleeps 8 and is an ideal family home or for guests looking to stay in unique accommodation.

This area of Kent which includes St Margaret’s at Cliffe and St Margaret’s Bay has been aptly named First Light Coast and Country. As the sun rises, you can bask in the first light of the day in the midst of the White Cliffs. Surrounded by spectacular countryside throughout the year, this area offers such a range of activities. Walk for miles along the deserted coastline and get inspiring views of the Heritage Coast, the Channel and also the coast of Northern France. Further inland there are the Kent Downs which are valued for their chalk grassland and wildlife. In summer, the beach and rock pools are perfect for children, with safe swimming in the bay. St Margaret’s Bay has been for a long time a good location for kayakers and canoeists. If you enjoy fishing then St Margaret’s Bay is good for catching sea bass, mackerel, dogfish and sole. If you are lucky, you may even spot the odd seal that comes close to shore. The village of St Margaret’s has many local amenities including a village shop, tea rooms and three lovely pubs which all offer great food and fine ales. The Coastguard Pub on the beach is an award winning pub with food made from fresh local ingredients. The Pines Calyx with its gardens, tearooms and museum is well worth a visit and includes six acres of organically managed gardens. The 12th Century local church is also interesting with rounded arches and doorways. A beautiful coastal cliff walk takes you from St Margarets Bay to the White Cliffs of Dover National Trust Visitor Centre which is positioned directly over the port of Dover. This walk passes South Foreland Lighthouse belonging to English Heritage. Children can fly kites for free, play with large wooden games and take part in a treasure trail. Enjoy an English tea served in bone china teacups at Mrs Knotts tea room – once the lighthouse keepers cottage – before taking a tour of the lighthouse and discovering its history.
