About this property
The Willows is a welcoming pet-friendly house set in St. Marys Bay, Kent. Ideal for families and friends looking to enjoy the coast with everything close at hand, boasting enclosed gardens, off-road parking and some family-friendly amenities. With off-road parking for two cars, arrival is simple, allowing you to step out and immediately feel the presence of the shoreline nearby. An enclosed front garden with lawn frames the property, offering a welcoming first impression and a safe outdoor space to pause before heading inside. Step into the hallway and leave sandy shoes behind, with space to organise coats and beach essentials after days by the water.
A cloakroom sits just off the entrance, providing added convenience, while thoughtful touches such as beach toys and towels are ready for spontaneous trips to the shore. The nautical theme begins here and continues throughout the house, subtly echoing the setting just beyond the front door. From the hallway, move into the sitting room where sofas and an armchair invite you to settle in after coastal walks. This is a space for stretching out with a film on the Smart TV, chatting over a drink, or simply listening to the sea air drifting in. Double doors open through to the kitchen and dining area, creating a natural flow for shared time together.
In the kitchen and dining space, blue hues reflect the seaside setting, bringing a calm backdrop to daily routines. Here, mornings unfold with the kettle on and breakfast prepared before crossing the road to the beach, while evenings are spent cooking and gathering around the table after days outdoors. A washing machine makes light work of sandy clothes, while the fridge freezer is well placed for stocking up on fresh local produce. A highchair and travel cot are available, making this an easy choice for those travelling with younger guests. Patio doors lead directly from the kitchen diner into the enclosed rear garden, where outdoor furniture sits ready for relaxed meals and lingering conversations.
The patio and gravelled area provide a sheltered spot for dining, reading, or unwinding as the day fades, with enough space for a dog to stretch out safely nearby. Carpeted stairs lead up to the first floor, where the sleeping accommodation offers a calm retreat after busy days. The single bedroom is ideal for a younger guest or someone seeking their own space, while the double bedroom features a wardrobe and continues the coastal theme found throughout the house. The master bedroom makes a striking impression, dressed in deep navy tones that reflect the sea beyond. With a Smart TV mounted on the wall, generous storage, and an en-suite shower room, this room feels private and well considered.
From here, sea views provide a gentle reminder of how close the coast truly is. The beach, shop, and pub are all just moments away on foot, making it easy to shape days around the tide, the weather, and your own pace. Further along the coast, Dymchurch offers traditional seaside charm, while New Romney and Folkestone provide a wider choice of places to eat, explore, and wander. Within easy reach, the Romney Hythe and Dymchurch Railway offers a nostalgic journey through marshland and coastal scenery, with steam trains and open carriages creating a memorable day out. At Port Lympne Reserve, expansive landscapes set the scene for wildlife encounters, safari-style experiences, and elevated views across the Kent countryside.
Folkestone’s Creative Quarter brings together independent galleries, clifftop walks, and vibrant streets filled with food, art, and character, all framed by far-reaching sea views. Bring family, friends, and the dog to The Willows.
Arguably the most idyllic little village in unspoilt Teesdale, Romaldkirk has pretty greens, old stone cottages, a beautiful old church and two pubs. The village itself is surrounded by stunning Dales countryside and makes an ideal base for walking and touring throughout the Northern and Yorkshire Dales areas, boasting superb fell, flat or river walks and cycle rides from the doorstep. The northern Lakes and the cities of Durham and Newcastle are all within easy driving distance, whilst the ancient market town of Barnard Castle, with its many historical and cultural attractions, is just a 10 minute drive away.
