Property description
This property is just the house for a family who wants to live by the sea. It is across the road from the magnificent Westgate Bay – a vast sandy beach that is ideal for sun worshippers and for children to build sandcastles. In the winter it is a wonderful spot for bracing walks with the dog. Whether you want to live in this lovely house full time, or use it as an ideal weekend retreat and holiday home, this delightful Edwardian seaside residence has it all.
Over the last decade the owner has spent about £110,000 refurbishing and upgrading the property, so it is ready to walk straight into. At the same time it has retained many period features, giving it real character and a welcoming and homely feel. The hub of the house is the charming kitchen/dining room with its Aga cooker and vast window with views across to the sea. It overlooks the low maintenance courtyard garden where you can sit and relax or enjoy a summer barbecue and access the communal field that is jointly owned by all the adjacent residents. This gated area is an ideal spot for children to run around or play football.
With an attractive sitting room, three bedrooms and a family bathroom on the first floor and two rooms and a shower room on the second floor, the accommodation is very flexible. The top floor would be ideal for older children to have their own private space or perhaps a lodger as one of the rooms includes a kitchenette.
What the Owner says:
““I fell in love with this house as it fulfilled my desire to live near the sea. Over the years I have lovingly and sensitively refurbished the property from top to bottom, including stripping all the pine doors and creating a new kitchen, modern bathrooms and the dining room extension. This property has always been a warm and happy home and I really enjoy being able to walk my dog along the greensward and on the beach. I have turned one of the first floor bedrooms into a private sitting room so I can sit there and absorb the ambience. My favourite time of day is when I can watch the ‘Turner’ sunsets in the evening but I also take great pleasure in the sea views during the day.
Westgate is a very friendly place and there is a delightful parade of individual shops, where you can buy a variety of interesting and unusual items and a local cinema that shows all the latest films. The mainline station provides easy access to London and the Thanet Way with connections to M2/A2 is not far by road. A little further along the coast you can enjoy the Old Town eateries and shops as well as the Turner Contemporary gallery so there are plenty of activities available, whatever your tastes and interests.”
