Property description
Harvey Richards & West are delighted to offer for sale this fantastic, large detached family home situated on a very generously sized plot in one of Tankerton's most sought after roads. Benefiting from ample living space and lovely south-facing garden, this is a rarely available property and is the first time it's been available on the market for 40 years. The property is uniquely situated within close proximity to Whitstable mainline railway station, local shops, the seafront, bus routes and highly regarded schools.
'The Cottage' as it is known is a wonderful family home, measuring approximately 2889 sqft and providing an abundance of living space over two floors. Set back from the road and approached via an in & out drive, this characterful property has off street parking for three cars and an attached garage, currently used as additional living space, but could easily be converted back to into a garage.
The ground floor is entered through the original pretty stained glass front door which leads into a 32ft long hallway, all the downstairs rooms are accessed from here. To the front of the house there are two good sized rooms both with large bright bay windows. One of these rooms is currently used as a study, and the other as a ground floor bedroom. The hall leads onto a huge double reception room measuring 28'5 x 14'4 which leads on to a sun room and garden beyond. Off the hallway is a well-equipped fitted kitchen with solid wood units and large window looking to a paved side garden. Adjacent to the kitchen is another lovely, bright reception room with gorgeous views of the south-facing garden. In addition to a downstairs family bathroom with bath, wc & basin, there is also a separate W/C.
Three of the four/five bedrooms are found on the first floor, all of which are double rooms. There is also a family bathroom which is fitted with a wc, basin and shower unit. This floor also houses two vast eaves rooms which could easy be converted into further bedrooms subject to the necessary planning consent.
The large mature rear garden benefits from a south facing aspect and stretches an impressive 85ft long and 55ft wide. Beautifully landscaped and well maintained by the current owners this garden is perfect for entertaining in the summer months. There is a pretty ornamental pond in the centre and many well established flower beds throughout, as well as a raised patio from which to soak up the sun.
