7 bed Detached House
£1,395,000
Canterbury Road, Westgate-on-Sea
Questeds is an utterly beautiful Grade II listed period home set right back from the road on a very secluded plot of just under 2 acres.
The property is believed to be the very first house built in Westgate-on-Sea, dating circa 1500's with later additions in the 1800's.
The long wooded driveway provides a hint to the type of lifestyle to expect, offering the unique opportunity to enjoy coastal life near the beach yet feeling like you're in the middle of the countryside; truly the best of both worlds.
The property covers an impressive 4074 sq ft (378 sq m), sprawling across three floors with all rooms of elegant proportion. Three reception rooms offer great versatility with two overlooking the front garden grounds via large bay windows and feature marble fireplaces whilst the large formal dining room overlooks the rear garden grounds.
The kitchen/breakfast room is the definite hub of the home, a spectacular social space with high vaulted ceiling and exposed beams. The kitchen itself is well equipped with extensive units, a huge central island and stunning quartz worktops. A range of integrated appliances include a coffee machine and wine fridge. An exposed brick wall with log burning stove provides a lovely sense of cosiness to such a large and impressive area. A laundry room, recently updated shower room, pantry, additional WC and two storage rooms complete the vast ground floor.
Moving upstairs and the first floor presents five double bedrooms (two en-suite) and a family bathroom. Two further double bedrooms and a luxurious steam room occupy the second floor.
Beautiful gardens encompass the house with an excellent degree of privacy all around. A section of the front garden grounds is walled and has been dedicated to create a barbecuing and entertaining area with a large paved patio, bar and swim spa. A small woodland is found to the front of the plot, creating the ultimate but natural screen from the public eye.
All in all, a real 'once in a lifetime' opportunity to acquire the dream family home in such a great location. Call the exclusive sole agents, Kent Estate Agencies to arrange your viewing appointment.
