A three-bedroom property designed by award-winning architect Guy Hollaway has gone on the market for just shy of £2m.
The house, found in the heart of a picturesque meadow in St Margaret's-at-Cliffe, near Dover, features a unique flint wall, a sunken garden, solar panels and even an outdoor bathtub.
Guy Hollaway is best known for his stunning architectural designs in Kent and London, having worked for a range of clients from businessman Roger De Haan to Chapel Down in Tenterden.
His work has been featured in the New York Times and The Telegraph and has also earned him seven Riba Awards.
This home, in particular, has a selection of unusual features, all emphasised by the tranquil setting among coastal cliffs and Kentish countryside.
The flint façade, which aims to represent a modern interpretation of a saddle hut, is one of the first things that stands out about the property.
You then follow the slatted screens, positioned in the external walkway, and overhanging roof until you are inside the house.
The home boasts two distinct wings with three bedrooms, including a master bedroom with access to the ‘secret’ outdoor bath and shower hidden by black timber screens and bamboo.
There is also an open plan living room and kitchen area, with a large island and Stovax wood burner, and a library with floor-to-ceiling windows and an office with views over the orchard.
The gardens, much like the rest of the property, have been meticulously designed.
While the house sits within the Grade II-listed Wallet's Court area, the outdoor space has been created with modern living in mind, with a sheltered patio with its own outdoor kitchen, perfect for entertaining.
There is also a second seating area with its own firepit, all surrounded by a beautiful meadow and newly planted fruit orchard.
Just beyond the property are the seaside towns of Dover and Deal, both of which can be reached by car in 15 minutes or less.
Even closer to home are the clifftop and coastal paths of St Margaret's Bay, which are only a short cycle or walk away, as is The Coastguard pub, which sits on the waterfront and is a great pitstop as you explore the area.
