In this doggie-friendly home by the sea in St Mary’s Bay, almost every window is decorated in gorgeous glasswork in a cheerful sunrise pattern. You’ll be 400m from the beach where can take your pet for morning walkies before breakfast, before heading back home for coffee in the preened and sunny enclosed garden. With space for up to four people and one canine pal, this stylish property would suit a small family, or one or two couples wishing to take a relaxing break on the Kent coast.
The beautiful decor of this elegant home is a huge draw – everything from the light fittings to the cushion fabric is in keeping with the tasteful 1930s decor. In the gorgeous sitting room, which has a soft colour scheme of greens and creams, you can kick back with a film as your pet stretches out contentedly on the rug. Outside on the patio, sizzle up a feast on the BBQ and enjoy eating alfresco as your pet pesters you for scraps.
In the streets nearby the property, you’ll find shops, cafés and a chippie all within 400m, plus a pub where well-behaved dogs are very welcome. Locally you can take your pet on a steam train on the Romney Hythe & Dymchurch Railway (0.5 miles), whose route hugs the coastline for a scenic trip. For a pet-pleasing walk, explore Romney Marsh (0.5 miles), a wetland area crisscrossed with waterways and peppered with sheep. Dungeness (10 miles) is another great possibility for extended strolls – this impressive shingle landscape is home to many uncommon plants and, in the spring and autumn, migratory birds.
