Property description

Sweeping through the whitewashed gateway of this property and along the drive you feel you are being transported to the delights of a high quality Mediterranean villa, from the moment you see the multi arched entrance. Nestling in what used to be the orchards of Holland House down a country lane cul-de-sac this beautiful property is surrounded by woodland and the North Foreland golf course, providing total peace and tranquillity.

The whole house has been designed with leisure and pleasure in mind so whether you are looking for a permanent seaside residence or a really special holiday retreat this property has a great deal to offer. Here you can enjoy the lovely swimming pool surrounded by vast lawns and terraces interspersed with mature shrubs and flower borders. Alternatively you can entertain a large number of guests in the huge drawing room with its attractive brick fireplace and wall of windows looking out to the pool or host a dinner party in the very elegant dining room.

The colourful 26ft kitchen/breakfast room is somewhere the family will want to spend much of their time. There is an unusual circular breakfast bar adjacent to large French doors so you can enjoy a cup of tea while looking at the view and the red wall and floor tiles provide a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Any cook will be delighted to prepare meals in the well equipped kitchen area with its built in ovens and hob and other integrated appliances. This leads to a cosy snug that would be equally useable as an office.

There is also a utility room and a shower room on the ground floor that is ideal if you have just come in from having a swim in the pool or have spent a day on the beach. You will also find a large double bedroom and en suite bathroom on the ground floor that could be used as a guest suite or for elderly relatives. While upstairs there is a family bathroom as well as three bedrooms including the master with an en suite bathroom off the galleried landing. The third bedroom could become a dressing room as it has a wall of fitted wardrobes. Outside the double garage and driveway provide plenty of space for parking a number of vehicles.

What the Owner says:

We moved here nearly 30 years ago and have loved every minute of it. It was the peace, quiet and seclusion that drew us to the house in the first place and we can really enjoy being in our south facing garden and swimming in the pool without being overlooked. But we feel it is time for a new chapter in our lives and want to find something a little smaller. We have always loved entertaining and we have refurbished the house over the years to reflect this. At the same time it has been a great family home and we love to spend time relaxing in the kitchen/ breakfast room.
We feel we have the best of both world - we are surrounded by the golf course and woodland but we are only three minutes walk to the lovely and historic Kingsgate Bay so the family can spend all day building sandcastles on the beach in the summer or walking the dog all year round. It is only a five minute stroll to the excellent Captain Digby pub if you want a drink or a pleasant meal without taking the car. Also we are not far to Broadstairs town centre and its plethora of individual shops, bars and restaurants and for golfing enthusiasts the North Foreland Golf Course is virtually on the doorstep.

(*Historic Note
Holland House was built between 1762 and 1768 by Lord Holland (the MP Henry Fox and father of the notorious Charles Fox MP but most of it has since been destroyed). The estate also includes Kingsgate Castle – originally the staff quarters!)
