Latest house prices for St Margarets At Cliffe, Dover

St Margaret’s at Cliffe sits on the high chalk ground between Dover and Deal, tucked away from the busy port traffic. The village is effectively split in two: the main residential area clustered around the 12th-century flint church of St Margaret’s of Antioch, and the secluded St Margaret’s Bay at the foot of the cliffs. It's geographically significant as the closest point of the British mainland to France, a distance of about 21 miles, which is why the beach here has long served as the landing point for cross-channel swimmers and several international telegraph cables. The steep, narrow road down to the bay is well-known for its sharp bends, leading to a sheltered shingle beach where Ian Fleming once lived and drew inspiration for his writing. While it feels remote, the village is practical, maintaining a local primary school, a handful of independent pubs, and a village shop, all while being bordered by the expansive National Trust land at The Front and South Foreland.
