Seller Insight
This has been a wonderful family holiday home as we are not far from the beach at Stone Bay which is ideal for those who want to enjoy sandy beaches and, if you like surfing, Joss Bay is equally accessible.
For golfing enthusiasts there is the nearby North Foreland golf course and it is a gentle stroll into the centre of Broadstairs, which is a quintessential Victorian seaside resort. It has numerous bars, restaurants, supermarkets and individual shops and interesting annual events such as Folk Week, the Dickens Festival and the Food Fair. There are also some very good schools and the high speed train from Broadstairs station can whisk you to St Pancras in under an hour and a half.”*
