About this property
Sea Purse, St Margaret's Bay by Keepers Cottages
Sea Purse possesses possibly the most stunning location of any house on the South Coast - every visitor testifies to that. Sitting directly beneath the White Cliffs of Dover and a balcony’s width from the beach, this historically important house was previously leased by Noel Coward in the 1950s, with Ian Fleming leasing the adjacent house. Read James Bond’s Moonraker novel and it’s clear Fleming drew inspiration from this beautiful location. Coward’s friends - Spencer Tracy, Katherine Hepburn, and Evelyn Waugh among others - were frequent visitors. Sea Purse amazes every visitor. You can enjoy an uninterrupted, panoramic view of the English Channel, wake up to the sound of the sea on the shingle, look forward to long days on the beach, and relish relaxed suppers on the wrap-around balcony. This superb beach house is located at the far end of St Margaret’s Bay under the White Cliffs. It's just a few footsteps to the beach. Sea Purse was completely renovated in 2022 and is beautifully decorated throughout with great care and consideration given to the decor and furnishings to reflect its coastal position. With three bedrooms and two bathrooms, this property sleeps 8 and is an ideal family home or for guests looking to stay in unique accommodation.
