If a sea view is what you're after, this home will not disappoint. Perched on a clifftop in Birchington-on-Sea, the coastal scenery can be admired from most of the rooms. Our favourite viewpoint is the conservatory – we can't think of a better spot to enjoy a cup of tea and watch the tide roll in. Outside, the fuss-free garden offers space for kids and pups to let loose. Ready to explore? Birchington has two tidal shores that are ideal for walking and rockpooling. For a proper day at the beach, we suggest heading over to Margate, just 4 miles away.

Home truths
While this is not our usual design lead home, the location was too good to pass up
One bedroom isn't photographed, though we expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home
One small, well-behaved dog is welcome to join you here. Just note that the garden fence has some gaps and leads to a cliff drop, so dogs will need to be watched at all times
Both full bathrooms are en-suites, though there is a WC on the ground floor. The second bathroom has Jack & Jill access from bedrooms two and three
We think the patio paving could use some attention
Off-road parking is available for two cars. We suggest having a vehicle here, especially if you're keen to explore further afield
Birchington has two tidal beaches – Epple Bay and Minnis Bay – but both are better suited to dog walks
The kitchen supplies are quite basic

About Margate
One of the earliest Victorian seaside resorts, Margate was one of the top spots for a summer holiday in the country for a long time. Until, that is, the rise of the cheap package holiday in the seventies. Now, after a few years in the wilderness, this little town is back with a bang.
