5 bedroom detached house for sale

NO FORWARD CHAIN

A beautifully presented character detached house situated in a much sought after private road, enjoying panoramic views over the English Channel.

Dating from 1907 ‘Lomea House’ was originally built as a modest seaside cottage. Over the years the property has been extended and improved, the current owners haven taken it a stage further undertaking a comprehensive remodelling and refurbishment to create a home worthy of its superb location.

The name ‘Lomea’ derives from the Roman description of the Goodwin Sands (low islands) which lie just off Deal and are clearly visible from the property.

On entering the house you are immediately impressed by the scale of the galleried reception hall. From here, glazed double doors open to the dining room and a further set open into the generously proportioned 23’2” x 22’6” sitting room which has three sets of French doors give a panoramic view out over the garden to the Channel.

To the right of the hall, running the full length of the house, is the stunning kitchen/dining room (over 40ft in length) fitted with a high quality range of ‘Shaker style’ cabinets and a full range of built in appliances, perfect for large scale entertaining.

On the first floor the galleried landing leads to four double bedrooms (two with en-suite shower rooms) and an ‘Art Deco’ style family bathroom and a lower landing leads to a study/bedroom five. The large attic offers potential for those seeking more accommodation.

Church Cliff is arguably one of the most sought after roads in the village. It is a private no through road maintained by the residents (the maintenance fee is currently £125 per annum).

At the lower end of the road is the village church, the far end opens onto a network of footpaths leading to lovely walks up on the Glen towards Walmer Castle or down to the beach (just a few minutes).

The house is approached via a 5 bar gate opening to a block paved driveway/parking area for four vehicles and brick built single garage.

The front garden is planted with a variety of established shrubs which provide privacy and seclusion. The rear garden is designed for easy maintenance and to enjoy the superb view, with a circular paved seating area, decking and raised ornamental fish pond.

KINGSDOWN is a former fishing village of charm and character and offers a range of leisure activities. In the village there is a small selection of shops and amenities including a Newsagent/Post Office, Hairdresser, Butcher, three Public Houses, the Church of St Johns and a Primary School (rated outstanding by Ofsted). Recreational activities include water sports and fishing along with Walmer & Kingsdown Golf Course. A further three Champion golf courses are a short drive away including Royal St Georges in Sandwich (venue for the British Open). The historic coastal town of DEAL has a vibrant high street with a good variety of shopping and leisure facilities yet still retains much of its character as a former maritime town. Fishing boats still go off the pier. DOVER, with its docks and cross-Channel services, is seven miles away, offering fast access to the Continent and fast Rail Link access to London St Pancras travelling from the nearest station at Walmer (1hour 15minutes).
