It is believed to have been built in the Victorian era, between 1871 and 1881 – and has its very own cave.
This is at the bottom of the cottage’s garden, as reported by Luxury Property News, and can be used as a versatile storage space or one-of-a-kind outdoor area.
Alongside the cave, the property comes with two double bedrooms, a bathroom and resident parking.
It also boasts a cosy lounge, large kitchen diner and practical utility room.
Its courtyard garden also means its owners can enjoy fresh sea air from the comfort of their own home.
The home is just a two-minute walk from Dame Vera Lynn Way, a National Trust spot and entry point to the cliffs.
Dover is one of many quaint, seaside towns along the Kent coastline, with Folkestone and Britain’s only desert, Dungeness, nearby.
The cottage is marketed by Geering and Colyer, in Dover, and it’s guide price starts at 180,000 – £210,000.
It isn’t the first time a property with caves has hit the market recently.
One 200-year-old home featuring a vaulted cave for a bathroom was put on sale for £1.5 million.
Another collection of historic caves, where England’s last troglodytes lived, can be found in perfect nick on the Staffordshire-Worcestershire border.
Meanwhile, another quirky property also caught the public’s attention – a historic blue-plaque home painted fuchsia pink.
Elsewhere, a man in Warwickshire decided to create his own canal in his back garden, compete with a 35ft narrowboat.
In other property news, this year’s Shed of the Year award has gone to an old metal outbuilding, decorated with Colman’s Mustard signage.
