A COTTAGE nestled among the famous White Cliffs of Dover is on the market for £180,000 – and it comes with a jaw-dropping secret.

The property is a five-minute walk from the town’s port, where ferries to France leave daily.

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.

DOMINIQUE Pélicot, dubbed one of the worst sexual predators in French history, told a court he was a rapist.

The husband is accused of allegedly recruiting dozens of men online to rape his then-wife, Gisèle Pélicot.

Who is Dominique Pélicot?

Dominique Pélicot, 71, is accused of drugging his wife so he and scores of strangers could assault her.

The 71-year-old man said: “I am a rapist, like the others in this room.”

Detectives have listed a total of 92 rapes committed by 72 men, 51 have been identified.

Pélicot is accused of administering anti-anxiety drugs to his 72-year-old wife for almost a decade, from 2011 to 2020. 

While she was unconscious, it is alleged he would rape her and recruit dozens of other men he met online to do the same.

Speaking for the first time in court in the regional capital of Avignon, he said: “I am guilty of what I did – I say to my wife, my children, my grandchildren.

“I regret what I’ve done and I ask for forgiveness, even if it’s unforgivable.” 

He added: “She [Gisèle Pélicot] did not deserve this.”

The defendant claimed to have suffered abuse and trauma throughout his childhood and says he was forced to witness the gang rape of a woman aged 14 while working as a building site apprentice.

The pensioner added: “You are not born a pervert, you become one.”

Beatrice Zavarro, Pélicot’s lawyer, told AFP that he had “a clot in the bladder” and a kidney infection. 

But a medical exam ordered by the presiding judge found he was fit to appear in court, avoiding a potentially lengthy delay to proceedings.

And as the shocking trial continues, the court heard how another man, named as Jean-Pierre, 63, was allegedly taught by Pelicot how to drug and rape his wife.

He is not among the 51 men on trial.

The former lorry driver claimed he spoke to Pelicot in an online chatroom.

The pensioner then provided sedatives for Jean Pierre’s wife- before travelling to rape her himself.

It was alleged that Jean-Pierre’s wife was raped 12 times between 2015 and 2020.

Investigator Stéphan Gal told the court: “Each time that [Pélicot] travelled [there], he provided him with the medication for the next time.”

Jean-Pierre’s 32-year-old son from a previous marriage said: “I have the firm conviction that had he not met this person, there would never have been any of this.”

The unsettling case presented at Vaucluse Criminal Court has deeply affected France.

Since the beginning of the trial, Ms Pélicot had chosen to waive her right to anonymity. 

This decision opened up the details of her harrowing experiences to public scrutiny.

Psychologists who testified on Monday portrayed Pélicot as a complex “Jekyll and Hyde” figure. 

He reportedly administered drugs to his wife, allowing strangers to exploit her while she was incapacitated. 

Pélicot’s statements to law enforcement revealed a disconcerting duality in his self-perception. 

By day, he claimed to be a “good husband” to Ms Pélicot, whom he wed in 1971. 

He managed to maintain the marital facade of being a loving husband and father-of-three for decades.

However, the reality of their relationship was far darker.

The couple’s divorce was finalised last month, and Ms Pélicot has sat in court throughout the trial so far, along with her adult children. 

Pélicot’s daughter, Caroline Darian, 46, took to the stand and described her father as “one of the greatest sexual predators” in recent years.

Caroline was herself secretly photographed in the nude by her father, as were her two sisters-in-law while taking a bath, it emerged in court.

She also revealed the shocking moment her mum first told her of the harrowing ordeal.

Pélicot was first arrested in September 2020 for secretly filming up women’s skirts at a supermarket in Carpentras.

His devices were searched, and there were hundreds of photos, as well as pornographic videos of women.

While in custody, Mr Pélicot reported a hard drive, hidden under a printer containing a file called “Abuses”.

It classified the nickname and telephone numbers of attackers, together with some 3,800 photos and videos of Gisèle Pélicot being raped for almost a decade.

Pélicot moved his family from greater Paris in 1991, and later allegedly set up the sex ring. 

Alleged rapists involved in the case include civil servants, ambulance workers, soldiers, prison guards, nurses, a journalist, a municipal councillor, and truck drivers.

In a separate case, Pélicot has been charged with raping and murdering a 23-year-old estate agent in Paris in 1991.

He has admitted one attempted rape in 1999 after DNA testing proved a case against him. 

The Avignon aggravated rape case is due to last until December 21.

Fourteen of the other defendants have admitted rape, while the rest deny any wrongdoing.

Pélicot faces up to 20 years in prison if found guilty.
