4 bedroom detached house for sale

Ideally located on the outskirts of Whitstable in a private cul-de-sac, just a couple of minutes' walk from the station and a short stroll from the beach, is this property. This detached family home was originally built around 1934 and has not been on the market in 55 years. It has been updated over time but still retains attractive period features including the external turrets, chimneystacks, bay windows and quoin stone edging. Internally there are panelled walls and doors, dado and picture rails, ceiling roses, the original staircase, wood flooring and fireplaces as well as fascinating stained glass French doors that open in a curved, triple aspect porch.

This leads to the entrance hall with black and white tiled flooring and access to a shower room, an open plan area with excellent storage facilities and the very spacious country style kitchen and breakfast area. This has terracotta floor tiles, French doors to the rear garden, a range cooker, a pantry and units housing various appliances, while still leaving space for a large breakfast table. There is an adjacent fitted utility room with laundry facilities and additional appliances.

A formal dining room features an original oak cupboard, wood flooring, fitted shelving, a bay window and a fireplace with a wood surround and an electric log burner style fire. The elegant, dual aspect sitting room also has wood flooring, a bay window and a fireplace with an electric log burner.

Upstairs there is a family bathroom and four bedrooms including one with a shower and another with a dressing area. The impressive first bedroom has a curved bay window and spacious dressing area.

The beautifully designed garden wraps around the house and includes a large garden shed, a well-manicured lawn with shrubs and trees and a variety of gravel pathways that lead to different and secluded seating areas with external lighting.

What the Owner says:
We love the convenient and quiet location. It is a great family home and, during our family's 55 years here, we have modernised the house and enjoyed creating the charming garden.
Being in a private cul-de-sac, it is very safe and it is only a short walk to the beach, while local shops and the Chestfield and Swalecliffe station are virtually on the doorstep. We are also close to the Thanet Way for access to Canterbury, London and the Thanet towns. For those with children the Whitstable & Seasalter and Westmeads Community Infant primary schools are within 2.5 miles and are both rated Outstanding by Ofsted while grammar schools are available in Canterbury and Faversham
There are plenty of nearby footpaths as well as along the Crab and Winkle Way for lovely walks, while Whitstable features bars, restaurants, individual shops and the historic harbour. Nearby Chestfield is a friendly village and includes the Chestfield Golf Club, a cricket club and the 14th century Chestfield Barn pub and restaurant.
