Gordon Road, Whitstable
Brambledowns, a stylish, attractive and unique house, occupies a favoured location away from passing traffic adjacent to Gorrell Valley Nature Reserve, protected by Village Green status.
This substantial home has family and entertaining at its heart with an impressive, efficient and inspirational multi-functional living, dining and kitchen space meeting our expectations for a more relaxed layout and a sociable entertaining space.
Smartly presented throughout, the versatile accommodation comprises entrance hall, bedroom four/family room, sitting room with the convenience and cosiness of a gas 'log burning' stove and access to the rear garden, luxury wet room, open plan living space, practical utility room and two home offices (or bedroom 5), although one could easily become a hobby room, home gym or additional bedroom.
On the first floor a spacious landing, contemporary four piece family bathroom, three bedrooms, two doubles and an exceptionally generous principal bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, Jacuzzi bath and twin wash hand basins, creating a hotel vibe and luxurious sanctuary, complete this superb home.
A steel and glass balcony, accessed from the principal bedroom, provides views over Whitstable, sea glimpses beyond, and a restful place to relax and enjoy the stunning sunsets at the end of the day.
The finishing touches to this home are the secluded and sunny rear garden, an established grapevine over the pergola creating a canopy of foliage and dappled shade over the table below, a summerhouse and separate storage shed for beach and garden equipment.
Situated in a desirable road with a countryside feel, yet with the advantages associated with a coastal lifestyle and the convenience of amenities within easy reach, this home has plenty to offer.
