7 bedroom semi-detached house

Potential, position, peace and privacy are the hallmarks of this fascinating and unique property that lies off the beaten track on the outskirts of Broadstairs. It is not just the extended Victorian cottage that has amazing potential, but also the surrounding 1.45 acres of land. It is approached via a private road alongside farmland that leads to a wrought iron gate and a drive to the property that passes the access to grounds that include a vast chalk pit and a surrounding area that currently houses an old double decker bus and various outbuildings and is ripe for development.

Outside the house there is off road parking and a carport. The cottage is a ‘work in progress' whereby some of it has been beautifully modernised but still includes period features such as fireplaces in many of the rooms but other areas need finishing. There is a spacious lobby and a dual aspect living room with French doors to the terrace and a downstairs cloakroom. There is also access to the two-roomed cellar.

A wide archway leads to the double aspect dining room with French doors to the garden and to the conservatory as well as to the contemporary kitchen/breakfast room that includes a central island/breakfast bar, storage units housing various appliances and four bi-fold doors to a large terrace. The long garden room needs completing and leads to an indoor heated swimming pool complex and a self-contained studio annexe with its own front door, exposed beams and a brick fireplace as well as a kitchen area and shower.

Upstairs there is a family bathroom and six bedrooms. There are five doubles including the dual aspect main bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, skylights and French doors to a Juliette balcony. Outside there is the terrace and a secure fenced lawn area surrounded by trees and shrubs and a large flat lawn. A secondary garden area includes a large, detached triple aspect building that could be developed.

What the Owner says:

I purchased the property some five years ago as I loved the fact it is a real family home that is surrounded by farmland in a peaceful area but, at the same time, we are not far from the shops and the local schools. Indeed there is a footpath that takes you virtually to Westwood Cross so it is safe for the children to walk to the shops. I was also hoping to be able to development the chalk pit area but unfortunately this has not been possible and I have sadly decided that this opportunity must go to new owners.

Broadstairs is a charming Victorian seaside town with a wide variety of individual shops, beaches, bars and restaurants as well as annual events such as Folk Week, the Dickens Festival and the Food Fair. For golfing enthusiasts we are close to the excellent North Foreland Golf club, while you can enjoy riding at the nearby Elmwood Farm Riding Centre or surfing at Joss Bay. There are also rugby, cricket, tennis and bowls clubs in the town and you can easily get to the Westwood Cross shopping centre. Here you will find a wide selection of high street stores and retail outlets as well as the Vue cinema, a casino, bars, eateries and a gym. Local education facilities are second-to-none with grammar and junior schools rated Outstanding by Ofsted and excellent private prep and secondary schools in the vicinity.
