Property description
'Unique' really is the key word when it comes to this property. Two years ago, the current owners fell in love with the location and size of a plot which was home to a three-bedroom bungalow and quickly took the plunge, planning a complete renovation. Two years down the line, the property is unrecognisable in every respect; the property is an entirely modern architectural masterpiece made up of around 60% glass. You simply won't find a property like this on every corner. Designed around an adoration of functional open plan living, the current owners have created a truly special property which is perfectly designed for family life. Despite being one large open area, the kitchen, dining room and sitting room each have their own portion of the space and a distinct feel, so all the family can use the space and feel connected yet independent. The much cherished galleried landing, with it's slick glass balustrade, has supreme views across the main living area and the garden beyond. It is a perfect representation for the general feel of the home; one that brings the family together. The property was purchased two years ago with the opportunity of trying something different and this same novel prospect remains today. Once you walk through the front door, it has an explicitly new feel. It is original, contemporary and flooded with beams of natural light streaming in through the great windows. In the kitchen, for example, the slanted windows feel like sheets of glass falling from the height of the mezzanine right down to the height of the work surface. The staircase is another eye-catching detail and the thick wooden steps appear to hover above the ground. Altogether, the property is a fresh, salubrious home. Beyond the vast windows, a pretty garden plays host to a huge oak tree which acts as a natural playground for plenty of wildlife. Watch wood pigeons perching on the branches, whilst squirrels climb the great trunk and robins hop about on the ground. As an extension of the cleverly designed house, the garden has two seating areas to make the most of the day's sunlight. In the afternoon, the sun's rays beam on the end of the garden where a seating area is the perfect spot for getting stuck into a good book and in the evening a granite patio near the house soaks up the last of the rays which warms an evening spent enjoying delicious food with friends and family. Tidy gabion walls and a wide path surround the garden which mirrors the contemporary look of the property behind. Situated only one street away from Tankerton's beach front, the delights of the Great British seaside are right on the doorstep. A beach with classic wooden beach huts, Tankerton beach is a lovely spot for an early morning run or a family game of Rounders. The town itself is the quieter, more tranquil, younger brother of Whitstable. with shops, cafes, restaurants and plenty of transport links making the town a great place for getting involved with the community whilst the beaches and woodlands beyond make the area a haven for bringing up children.
