The master bedroom is a room with impact, far reaching sea views are once again enjoyed and double doors open to a sitting room for the master bedroom. A large luxury family bathroom with separate WC is on the first floor and the benefit of a shower room is on the second floor.

What The Owners Say   
Besides being a beautiful and unique family home we were attracted to this property for its convenient and most stunning location. We can wake up each day to sea views and walk to the beach, sailing club, swimming pool, sports clubs, cinema, Kings Hall, local art and performing arts groups, rambles and dog walks, BR station to London/Ramsgate, plus high street shops, schools, doctors, dentists & much more ? The ground floor has easy clean flooring throughout so sandy feet and muddy paws are not a problem here! The secure rear courtyard is ideal for dogs and kicking off welly boots. Off-road parking is a rarity in the conservation area by the sea so having a driveway for 2 cars plus a garage is more than ideal. We work from home and have set up a spacious fitted office on the ground floor with high speed broadband (BT-Infinity due Dec 2014).
