In a road full of attractive and individual detached properties this delightful contemporary property stands out from its neighbours. From the moment you turn into the large, block paved frontage you will be impressed by the wonderful sea view, the uniqueness of design and the quality of the construction and fittings – both externally and internally. Extended and remodelled by a builder for him and his family, it has been completely transformed into a beautiful family home with a superb detached summerhouse with full building regs that can be used as an annexe subject to change of usage consent. The double height glass entrance with cathedral style windows, cladded exterior and first floor balconies give the property instant kerb appeal and this appeal is echoed as you cross the threshold into the atrium style entrance hall with its glass galleried landing overlooking the hall and Amtico herringbone flooring that flows throughout the ground floor.
The ‘hub of the household’ is the stunning, light and bright dual aspect open plan kitchen/lounge and dining area with its large skylights, underfloor heating and two sets of bi-fold aluminium doors to the rear terrace. The superb kitchen will delight anyone who enjoys entertaining as it includes beautiful charcoal grey units housing two built in Neff ovens, a built in Neff combi-microwave, plate warmer, coffee machine and dishwasher as well as a large central island/breakfast bar with a granite worktop and an induction hob with a downdraft extractor. There is a spacious adjacent utility room with plenty of glossy white storage units, an American fridge freezer and laundry facilities as well as a door to the garden. Also on the ground floor is a good sized study which is very useful for anyone working from home, a spacious double bedroom/playroom with an en suite shower that is ideal for guests or family members who find the stairs difficult, a trendy cloakroom and an elegant sitting room for those more formal occasions or somewhere to retire to if you want a quiet read.
Off the glass galleried landing there is a delightful contemporary family bathroom with a modern corner bath, tiled flooring, a wet room style shower and a double basin as well as four double bedrooms. These include one with two walls of built in wardrobes and bi-fold doors to a balcony with a glass balustrade providing far reaching sea views and the excellent first bedroom with a trendy wet room style en suite shower, built in cupboards and bi-fold doors to a large balcony with a glass balustrade where you can happily enjoy your morning coffee enjoying the sea views.
The large block paved frontage provides off road parking for at least four or five cars and leads to the garage and a gate to the garden. There is a large granite terrace that wraps around the side and rear of the property and is a real sun trap as well as providing plenty of space for al fresco dining. It has steps up to a lawn large enough to kick a ball around or play with the dogs and includes a path with access to the summerhouse with full building regs that can be used as an annexe subject to change of usage consent. This impressive building consists of a kitchen/lounge area with an oven, hob, integrated fridge and freezer and space for a washing machine as well as double and single bedroom areas and a bathroom so is ideal for elderly relatives or adult children needing their own space. It also has its own garden with lawn and patio.
*Summerhouse with full building regulations that can be used as an annexe subject to change of usage consent.
We remodelled and extended the property to be our ‘forever’ home so everything is of the highest standard but our plans have changed and we hope that another family will appreciate and enjoy everything we have done to create this special place. 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 and it is just a two minute drive to Dumpton Park Station although journey times are a little longer and five minutes from Ramsgate station where you can get the high speed train that will whisk you to London in about an hour and a quarter. Broadstairs is a delightful town with annual events such as Folk Week, the Dickens Festival and the Food Fair. It is also includes the excellent North Foreland Golf club and is not far from the Westwood Cross shopping centre, health clubs and a cinema and casino complex. There are also some very good state and private schools close by including the Holy Trinity primary school rated Outstanding by Ofsted.
