A spectacularly situated coastal house, designed in the late 1970s by the architect Philip Henry Little. Pine Tops is a four-bedroom house with approximately an acre of woodland and gardens which overlook a valley of outstanding natural beauty on one side and the Channel on the other.

The house has been cleverly designed to integrate itself into the landscape of the sloping site, with the sitting room opening out onto a decked area overlooking the garden. The current owner has retained many of the original features of the house, such as the wonderful wooden ceiling details, but has also made many improvements, particularly to the kitchen and gardens.

Pine Tops can be found in a secluded location along Beach Road, a private track off the main village road running down to the beach. The village of St Margaret’s offers shopping facilities, schools, a very good pub on the seafront (‘The Coastguard’) and ample opportunities for sailing, swimming, fishing etc. The clifftop to either side of St Margaret’s Bay is mainly National Trust land and offers numerous delightful walks. Canterbury, which is 17 miles away, offers further facilities and very good schools. The house is best reached via the A2 (or the M20 if coming from West London).
