Discover the epitome of coastal luxury at Buckmaster House - where history meets grandeur, and every view is a masterpiece.

Step into an extraordinary opportunity to acquire this truly magnificent residence, nestled along Western Esplanade commanding panoramic vistas of the North sea.

Constructed in 1895, Buckmaster House originally served as a convalescent home for ladies from London to enjoy the crisp clean sea air. Laden with history and overflowing with character, it's no wonder The Ward Lock travel guide once hailed this edifice as "one of the most handsome in the town". And most recently served as a care home.

This impressive estate now boasts 22 bedrooms, each accompanied by its own ensuite. Towering ceilings embellished with exquisite chandeliers and gilding evoke a sense of opulence and refinement. A sweeping staircase gracing the entrance hall forms a focal point exuding sheer luxury and vastness. The graceful arch doorways, a hallmark of late 19th-century architecture, pay homage to the era's craftsmanship and sophistication, instantly transporting you to a realm reminiscent of Downton Abbey. With its spacious kitchen, grand lounge, and elegant dining room, all set on approximately 2 acres of land this property surpasses mere description-it demands to be experienced first-hand.

To arrange your personal viewing around this magnificent property call TMS Estate Agents where a member of the team will be pleased to help you. Available 7 days a week.

Location - Nestled along Kent's captivating coastline, Broadstairs is the quintessential seaside town. With its pristine sandy beaches and rugged cliffs, Viking Bay stands as the jewel in the town's crown. Wandering through its quaint streets, you'll uncover hidden gems at every turn, from historic landmarks like Bleak House to charming cafes. From enchanting coastal walks to indulgent dining experiences, Broadstairs promises an unforgettable escape where every moment is filled with the best bits of coastal living.

Potential Buyers - In an ideal world the buyer for this property would be somebody fortunate enough to be able to transform this property into the most incredible family home. It is already stunning so imagine the pleasure which could be derived from creating the kind of home most people can only dream about. In reality, buyers like that are few and far between so we are already receiving serious enquiries from investors seeing the potential to restore this either to a high-end care home or convert to luxury flats. Subject to planning, the potential is virtually unlimited. This is one of the last properties of its kind in this area. With the amount of land available, in such a prime location with sea views, this is a rare and exciting opportunity!

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
