Property description
This property has to be one of the most stunning properties not just in Broadstairs, but in the whole of Thanet. This superb cliff top marine residence with uninterrupted sea views was originally built in 1920 and includes virtually everything you could desire in your dream house. At the same time it is a warm and welcoming family home and this ambience can be felt from the moment you walk through the curved front entrance into the light and airy hall with its unique circular galleried landing, reflecting the shape of the turret above.
The family will want to spend much of their time in the vast open plan living area that includes a top-of-the-range bespoke walnut and silver Smallbone of Devizes kitchen and both a large dining and a comfortable seating area. For anyone who enjoys catering the gorgeous kitchen is a dream. It includes a range cooker and a full length, built in sub zero wine cooler, fridge and freezer as well as a dishwasher, microwave and coffee machine.
If entertaining, leisure and pleasure are top of your list then the spacious entertainment complex including the amazing glass topped bar, sitting area, pool and football table, certainly fits the bill. From here you can either wander outside through the bi folding doors to the vast terraces and swimming pool surrounded by Italian tiles or stroll through the archway to the formal dining room where at least a dozen people can sit round the table. After dinner you can return to the bar for a nightcap, sit round the fire in the elegant drawing room with a cup of coffee or walk through the well fitted study/library to the specially designed cinema to watch the latest films.
For anyone wanting a bit of quiet time the large landing with its curved floor to ceiling windows looking straight out to sea has to be the place to relax. This area leads to the five double bedrooms including the master suite with not only a delightful modern bathroom but also a vast balcony with lovely views across the garden. Three of the other beautiful bedrooms have high quality modern en suite facilities and the fourth is adjacent to the family bathroom.
The good sized garden is surrounded by impressive trees and shrubs and is large enough for kids to have a play area and kick a football while you are entertaining friends to a barbecue. The wrought iron, brick wall and electronic gates at the front offer excellent security while the double garage and vast brick paved frontage provide a massive space for off road parking.
What the Owner says:
During the 15 years we have lived here we have completely updated the property throughout. We have installed the new kitchen and bathrooms and even redesigned the staircase so we could incorporate the charming circular balustrade. We have also considerably extended the property to include the cinema complex with its sound proofing and lighting system and went to the effort of importing special tiles to surround the swimming pool. As well as the pool, the garden provides everything you need to relax out of doors. There are tiered terraces and raised decking so you can follow the sun all day and when you have finished having a swim there is a charming sauna, shower and changing room in the chalet.
It has been a wonderful family home but circumstances change AND it is time to start a new chapter in our lives. We love the fact that we have private access to the sandy cove between Stone Bay and Joss bay so the kids can safely get to the beach. We very much enjoy entertaining and have redesigned much of the property with that idea in mind and we hope that the next owners will get as much pleasure out of it as we have.
Broadstairs is a wonderful place to live with its sandy beaches, individual shops and a myriad of bars and restaurants. It also includes some excellent private and grammar schools and the high speed train makes commuting to London much quicker than it used to be.
