Foreland Heights, Broadstairs, Kent

Nestling in an attractive enclave of modern and elegant detached houses in a quiet cul de sac, with stunning views over the surrounding farmland, the golf course and across to Joss Bay, is this impressive and solidly built four bedroom family home. It is tucked away from most of the other houses and approached via a spacious block paved driveway where you can park two or three cars and leads to the double garage.

There is a gravel shrub bed beside the charming porch and front door that opens into a very spacious entrance hall with attractive black floor tiles that flow through much of the ground floor. A very wide archway between the kitchen and dining area provides the contemporary feel of open plan living. The kitchen has a raft of wood units housing a built in double oven, gas hob, dishwasher and stand-alone American fridge freezer while the dining area has a wall of windows overlooking the rear of the property so you can enjoy the outstanding vista. The separate, fitted utility room has a new combi boiler and a side door for access outside, plus there is a large cloakroom accessed from the hall.

A large and impressive study is fitted with a wall of shelving and desk units and is ideal for anyone working from home, while the attractive dual aspect lounge has a coal effect gas fire that gives you that glow on a cold winter’s evening. It also has double doors to the conservatory with feature brick walls and underfloor heating that has been used as a playroom, gym or additional seating area. The charming staircase takes you up to a large galleried landing with built in bookshelves, space for a small desk and access to the boarded attic. There is a family bathroom and four double bedrooms, including three that look out over the fields to the sea with the main bedroom having a wall of fitted cupboards and matching bedroom furniture as well as an en suite shower room.

A detached double garage with two electric roller doors includes ladder access to a boarded and vaulted ceiling first floor area. There is a side gate down to the inner garden which has a terrace and is mainly laid to lawn. This has a gate to the large lower lawned garden that is open plan to its neighbours and backs on to fields.

What the Owner says:

We have thoroughly enjoyed bringing up the family here over the past 16 years, but now the children are flying the nest we feel it is time for us to downsize although we want to stay in Broadstairs as we love the area.
Being in a cul de sac it is very quiet and peaceful and it is possible to enjoy gazing at the horses and sheep in the surrounding fields but, at the same time, you can be in the centre of Broadstairs in three minutes and take advantage of all the restaurants, pubs and shops as well as the beaches and promenade. While the high speed train from Broadstairs station can whisk you to London in under an hour and a half.
The house is not far from the renowned North Foreland golf course for golfing aficionados while nearby Joss Bay and Stone Bay are ideal for families who want to enjoy sandy beaches, swimming and surfing in the summer and for horse mad youngsters the Elmwood Riding School (those are the horses you can see from the house) is just up the road. Broadstairs is a lovely town with a wide variety of individual shops, beaches, bars and restaurants as well as annual events such as Folk Week, the Dickens Festival and the Food Fair. Another advantage of Broadstairs is that it includes some very good schools including Upton and Dane Court rated Outstanding by Ofsted as well as two excellent private prep schools.
