3 4 2 2

You need to cross the threshold to really appreciate everything this extremely spacious detached family home has to offer with the ‘star of the show’ being the stunning extension with its own private entrance.

The property is set well back from the road with vehicle access via a pair of wrought iron gates and pedestrian access available through a personal gate and a pathway to the front door, flanked by a charming pebble based front garden with a large mature tree and shrubs. The hall includes a cloakroom, the main staircase and leads to the good sized sitting room and kitchen/breakfast room. This has Amtico flooring and wood units housing a built in double oven and microwave, hob and integrated dishwasher and includes plenty of space for a table and chairs as well as providing charming views over the garden. In the elegant lounge there is a large box bay window and a stone fireplace with a real fire and a door through to the tiled floor dining room, so this area makes an ideal overall space for entertaining. The dining room also has a door to the kitchen for easy catering, French doors to the rear garden and multi-pane glazed doors to the inner lobby. This includes a second pair of multi-pane glazed doors to the large utility room, a second cloakroom, an internal door to the garage, a separate external entrance and a brick archway to the ‘piece de resistance’ – the extension.

This includes an awe-inspiring, dual aspect, partially double height family area, feature brick wall with an arched inset, built in bookshelves, an attractive fireplace, sliding doors to the large patio and a door to the garden as well as automatic Velux windows, an impressive oak spiral staircase to a galleried mezzanine/study area on the first floor designed by Neville Johnson. This leads to an en suite bathroom and a dressing area with Velux windows and blinds and an interesting Velux style access to a good sized balcony and the main bedroom with fitted wardrobes. This is in the original part of the house where you will also find the landing with access to the partially boarded attic, the main staircase to the hall and a large storage cupboard as well as a five piece family bathroom including a Mira digital shower and three further double bedrooms.

With its separate entrance the extension is ideal for anyone working from home as business visitors do not need to go into the original part of the property or it could become an independent annexe as the utility room could be converted into a second kitchen and the study could be a bedroom adjacent to the en suite bathroom.

The attractive rear garden is surrounded by high hedging and shrub borders with a spacious terrace and additional patio for outdoor entertaining as well as a central lawn and raised vegetable beds. While at the front of the property the driveway can accommodate two cars for off road parking and leads to the large garage with automatic doors, but more parking space could be created if required.

"I have lived in this house for more than 40 years and it has been a wonderful home but it is now time to downsize and move into something smaller and let a new family enjoy everything this lovely house has to offer. During our time here we are proud to have created the extension and updated the house over the years. The location is ideal as the property backs onto farmland and is in a delightful cul-de-sac on the outskirts of Sandwich, so is quiet and peaceful as well as being safe for children and pets yet is only a mile from Sandwich station for the high speed train to London and also has easy road access to Deal, Dover, Canterbury and the Thanet towns.

It is a delight to see the picturesque and historic buildings that give the medieval Cinque Port town of Sandwich such a great character and enjoy the hotels, restaurants and individual shops that abound in the town, as well as the three delightful churches. The area is a Mecca for golfing enthusiasts with Championship links courses at the Royal St George, the Princes and the Cinque Ports clubs while the boating fraternity can enjoy their sport as there is the Sandwich Marina and the Sandwich Sailing and Motorboat Club. If you have children there is the excellent Sir Roger Manwood's grammar school as well as the Dover Boys and Girls grammar schools and a wide variety of private schools in the vicinity from Northbourne prep to St Lawrence in Ramsgate, Dover College and the Duke of Yorks in Dover and other excellent private schools in Canterbury."
