Step inside 76 Dumpton Park Drive The old adage of ‘never judge a book by its cover’ could well apply to this extended, detached family home along Dumpton Park Drive. It is in an excellent location but you need to cross the threshold to really appreciate everything this veritable Tardis of a property has to offer as well as the potential to develop it further to create a very special home. Set well back from the road in an elevated position providing some sea views, it is approached via a driveway flanked by a front lawn surrounded by trees and shrubs.

There are wide steps up to a very large covered porch and the charming multi-pane front door that opens into a spacious entrance hall with a wide archway to the equally large inner hall, creating a big overall reception area.

There are a pair of multi-pane doors to the good sized sitting room that has a charming sculptured fireplace and a pair of doors to the large dining room. When these doors are open it provides a light and bright ambience and a contemporary open plan feel, particularly when the patio doors leading from the dining room to the terrace are open.

However when you walk into the dual aspect kitchen/breakfast/family room you will be amazed at the space available. The kitchen area includes fitted units housing a built in double oven, an integrated larder fridge and dishwasher while the rest of the room includes fitted shelving units and is large enough for a table and chairs as well as a seating area with a door to the terrace. The ground floor also has a cloakroom and an internal door to the garage that could always be converted to provide additional accommodation if required.

Off the landing on the first floor there is a contemporary family bathroom and four double bedrooms including one that would make an ideal study as it has charming sea views over the rooftops and another that overlooks the flat roof of the extension that would make an excellent roof terrace. While the superb master includes a large dressing room area with sea views, a modern en suite shower room and the good sized bedroom area overlooking the garden.

The rear garden is approximately 100ft long and includes a pergola covered terrace with a path that wraps around the property. There are steps up to the large lawn area surrounded by shrubs and trees that has a path to a garden shed and plenty of nooks and crannies at the end of the garden for kids to explore.

Seller Insight We moved here about seven years ago because we liked the location and the spaciousness of the property and it has been a great family home, but we are starting a new chapter in our lives and hope another family will enjoy everything this house has to offer. It is within walking distance of the seafront at Louisa Bay and Dumpton Gap as well as the town centre with its wide range of individual shops, supermarkets, bars and restaurants as well as a cinema, a theatre and a train station where the high speed train can take you to St Pancras in well under an hour and a half.

The Victorian seaside resort of Broadstairs is delightful with its own annual events such as Folk Week, the Dickens Festival and the Food Fair. It is also includes the excellent North Foreland Golf club and a sailing club and is not far from the Westwood Cross shopping centre with its health clubs, cinema and casino complex. There are also some very good state grammar, primary and private schools in the vicinity including the Holy Trinity primary school rated Outstanding
