Property description
If you want a beautiful family home where you can almost feel you are sailing on the ocean wave, this stunning, individually-designed marine residence could be the answer. Whether you are looking for a permanent home or the ultimate holiday retreat, this place offers everything you need. With uninterrupted views across St. Mildred’s Bay and Westbrook Bay from many of the rooms, you can enjoy amazing and varied vistas every day of the year.
Built about 25 years ago, this elegant property offers spacious accommodation with a welcoming feel from the moment you walk through the front door. It flows through from the reception hall to the large kitchen/breakfast/sitting room. Here you can enjoy cooking a meal, chatting with your friends and family or walking through to the large conservatory, where you can sit looking at the charming and secluded garden and listen to the birds. For anyone who loves to give dinner parties there is an attractive formal dining room and also a well-fitted office overlooking the sea, so you can take great pleasure in working from home.
However, the absolute star of this house is the sitting room. You will find it at the front of the property on the mezzanine floor over the double garage. With its virtual wall of picture windows looking out to sea, you can spend all day watching the changing tides, the myriad ships passing by and the superb Turner skies. Indeed, if you have a large telescope or powerful binoculars you could even name the ships virtually on the horizon.
On the first floor there is a family bathroom and four double bedrooms. These include the master with en suite facilities and another where you can sit in bed in the morning just revelling in the sea views

The owner was a naval commodore and played an important role in the Falklands conflict as well as being a noted yachtsman in the ocean racing fraternity. When he and his wife retired twenty years ago they wanted to live as close to the sea as possible and this lovely home really suited their needs. The owner became commodore of the Royal Temple Yacht Club in Ramsgate, so was delighted to live in the vicinity but also enjoyed everything that Westgate has to offer. Their family loved to visit and the grandchildren enjoyed spending days on the beach. While the donkey rides may no longer exist, the area has hardly changed in more than fifty years and the lovely beaches, with their beach huts, are still a magnet for families. It is an ideal spot for a bit of exercise as you can cycle along the thirty-five mile stretch of coastal promenade or walk the dogs on the greensward opposite the house.
Westgate is a friendly place with a delightful parade of individual shops, where you can buy a variety of interesting and unusual items or enjoy Indian and Chinese delicacies from the takeaway restaurants. There is a main-line station, a local cinema that shows all the latest films as well as a bowls and tennis club and the Westgate and Birchington golf club, only a few minutes away.
