It's a property that has everything: a fisherman's cottage a mere five minutes from the sea, with a private driveway, half an acre of garden and sweeping views across some of the most beautiful coastal landscape England has to offer. Oh.... and a gigantic nuclear power station only yards away.....
The three-bedroom "not to be missed" bungalow at Romney Marsh, Dungeness, is being sold for £247,000.
Estate agent Geering & Colyer points out its proximity to a nature reserve and photos show it in rural isolation.
But New Romney Town Council said it was "disingenuous" not to mention its neighbours, Dungeness A and B.
There are also plans to build a new nuclear reactor, Dungeness C, nearby.
Valerie Tully, clerk of New Romney Town Council, said: "There's really not a lot of point in not being honest because, once you arrive at the place, you can't help but notice the power plants there.
"I suppose they felt people would be put off, but they should also know that the late film producer Derek Jarman lived in the area for many years and we get a lot of visitors.
"Even if the power plants were not included in the pictures, mention should have been made about them being nearby."
The Dungeness A site, which started generating electricity into the National Grid in 1965, was decommissioned in 2006.
Nearby Dungeness B site will stay open until 2018.
A spokesman for Geering and Colyer, of New Romney, said: "I've got no comment to make on it."
Visitors have long been attracted to the area's nature reserve, RSPB Dungeness, and the bleak beauty of the nearby shingle bank.
Another case of always ensuring you do your homework on the area, before even considering making an appointment to view.
Let's be careful out there....
Mr Jackson.
