Many homes in Kent may boast picturesque views but few can claim to look out on France.

Whoever buys this house in an enviable location in St Margaret's Bay near Dover will be able to see across the Channel when the sun shines.

And if you were to snap this property up, which is for sale through Strutt & Parker for £2.2million, you'd also be living a stone's throw from the former home of 007 creator Ian Fleming.

Sitting within 2.5 acres in Beach Road, it has six bedrooms – three of which are en suite – six reception rooms, two garages and a tennis court, though the sea view from it could be distracting.

Arranged over three floors and set in a conservation area, it also has a triple aspect rotunda with central domed sky lantern and doors to the gardens, while many of the rooms look out to sea, and the beach is just a few minutes' walk away.

In need of some cosmetic modernisation, it has feature fireplaces and a self-contained annexe.
