Just a short stroll from the prestigious North Foreland golf club and the charming Reading Street area of Broadstairs is this delightful, double fronted detached early Edwardian property. It has been beautifully restored, extended and refurbished by the owners to provide everything required for modern day living and stands out from its neighbours with the newly rendered exterior, black aluminium framed sash and bay windows and new Spanish slate tiled roof. There is a charming clapboard clad garage surrounded by a block paved driveway where you can park three cars and which is bordered by a recently built wall of yellow stock bricks with a beautiful bespoke wrought iron front gate.
As you walk through the oak front door and into a sitting area, with a bay window and an understairs cupboard, you can immediately begin to appreciate the attention to detail and the high end fixtures and fittings that have been incorporated to make this delightful property something special. All the doors are oak, the windows have bespoke shutters and many of the rooms have engineered oak flooring and inset lighting, while limestone tiles have been used in the open plan kitchen & dining areas. There is also a delightful central fireplace and an archway between the sitting room and dining area that has French doors to the rear Indian sandstone terrace.
The open plan kitchen includes a Lacanche inset range cooker with two extractors and beautiful shaker style units with bronze Corston handles and quartz worktops. There is a built in microwave, fridge freezer, dishwasher and wine rack as well as a double Shaws butler sink and an electric Velux window. Also on the ground floor is a utility room and a useful shower room which is ideal if you have been to the beach or had a muddy walk with the dog.
However if you want to relax in front of the TV or read a book, there is a charming lounge with feature tiling on the chimney breast, a contemporary electric fire and a lovely bay window with oak sills.
The new oak staircase leads to the first floor landing and the brand new family bathroom with a marble tiled floor and walls, a walk in double shower, twin vanity basins and a standalone bath. There are three double bedroom including the large first bedroom and one that has access to the loft with a pull down ladder that provides plenty of storage space.
The secluded and very easy to manage rear garden includes steps up from the main terrace to a beautifully manicured lawn with a path to a second terrace so you can follow the sun all day. There is a gravel and stone path round to the front of the house with a bespoke garden gate and a discreetly hidden area with rear access to the garage and where you can store the waste bins.
Seller Insight
We bought this house about four years ago when it was in a somewhat parlous state as it hadn’t been lived in for about five years so had been seriously neglected. We have spent all that time completely renovating the property from top to bottom and have extended the kitchen and dining areas. It has been restored to a very high level as we intended it to be our long term home. However our plans have changed and we hope that new owners will be able to appreciate and enjoy everything this property has to offer, whether as a permanent home or as a weekend retreat, because ease of maintenance means it can be a ‘lock up and go’ place.
It is not far from Kingsgate Bay beach for a quiet swim and Joss Bay if like surfing, while beach riding is available from the Elwood Farm riding centre. For golfing enthusiasts there is the North Foreland golf course and it is a gentle stroll into the centre of the quintessential Victorian seaside resort of Broadstairs. Here you will find the promenade and wonderful Viking Bay, Stone Bay and Louisa Bay, There are numerous bars, restaurants, supermarkets and individual shops available as well as interesting annual events such as Folk Week, the Dickens Festival and the Food Fair as well as a theatre and a cinema. 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.*
